1.0 out of 5 stars Worst coffee maker ever!, September 27, 2004

By 

Myshkin "Techie" (MN USA) - See all my reviews

This was my 4th Black & Decker Spacemaker coffee machine. I have sworn by them for years. The current machine has a number of design problems: No handle on the resevoir, making it difficult to hold when full. The only way to get a single cup poured in under a minute is to remove the lid and turn the caraffe nearly upsidedown. The entire caraffe/pour spout system is horribly misconcieved and makes trying to extract ones morning coffee a particularly odious endeavor. The lack of any heating mechanism prevents any regulating of coffee temperature.

In the two weeks I have owned my machine, I have had the following malfunctions:

1) The dispenser on the bottom of the handle leaks, leaving large puddles of coffee on the counter at random times.

2) The coffee grounds basket is loose and gets pushed out of place by the 'pause to serve' mechanism, which causes the valve to close, leading to grounds and water overflowing from the basket all over the counter.

3) A sensor seems turns off the machine when there is no water in the resevoir. This has started to turn the machine off every 30 seconds, so I have to turn the machine on 7 times to get through the entire resevoir of coffee.

This is the worst product of any kind I have ever gotten from a major manufacturer. It is frustrating beyond any utility it could possibly have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst coffee maker ever made, June 4, 2005

I purchased this based on my satisfaction with my old spacemaker thinking Black and Decker would build a good product. Not so, it does not keep the coffee warm for more than an hour, slobbers all over the counter when you try to fill your cup, the gasket doesn't keep it's form and falls off, and worst of all, every time my wife pours a cup of coffee she has to tell me how lousy the thing is. Don't even think about buying this piece of junk.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, January 19, 2005

This coffee maker does not keep the coffee hot - it does not have a warmer. The metal pot takes on an odor and also does not keep the coffee hot. It is a good looking unit with very poor results.
