I wrote this review 15 months ago, but I've changed my mind because the timer on my coffeemaker broke and I can no longer set it at night to make coffee for me in the morning. Unfortunately this coffeemaker is the only one made by anyone that fits the cabinet space in the kitchen of the house I built, so I still use it, and will until it finally dies. I'm not going to build a new house to fit the coffeemaker! I'm buying a back up to replace my Black & Decker Spacemaker coffeemaker, but I cannot recommend it anymore to anyone else. The rest of my review below is still correct but Black & Decker's quality control is poor. Richard Weston-Jones I've used Black and Decker spacemaker coffeemakers for ten years, had a miserable one with my last (the B & D with a thermal pot) that I used and threw away when it stopped completely. That one is hopeless for many reasons. After researching over the counter coffeemakers thoroughly I settled on a new one, the Black and Decker Spacemaker ODC440B (B is for black, I think). Holding my breath I ordered it from an Amazon store. It was perfect, except for one flaw that is easily overcome. The timer races ahead when brand new. I could not get it to set the coffee to start at the right time because the timer went too fast. I called customer service at the company and they admitted the flaw. They said to unplug the coffee maker, wait ten minutes, and plug it in again. I did that, actually waited two hours, plugged it in and reset the timer. It worked perfectly. However several days later when I didn't finish the coffee in the two hours the timer allots, I pushed the On button to get the heating plate to continue to keep the coffee warm. It did that but that day the timer started to race ahead again. I unplugged it again, waited a couple of hours and plugged it in again. It reset itself perfectly again. Apparently the timer gets confused when you ask it to keep coffee heated without water in the resevoir to brew a fresh pot. Other problems I have read about, the coffee running over, appear to be caused when you do not push the water resevoir in hard enough to hear the lock click or when you don't push the coffee pot in on the warming plate far enough to hear it click. When you do both, the ODC440B Black & Decker coffeemaker works well, makes good coffee, keeps it hot and fresh for two hours. Perhaps similar white B & D spacemaker coffeemakers will work well that way too. Mine sits on a slide-out tray above my counter. I didn't attach it permanently to the cabinet above the counter. I couldn't find any company that makes a similar over-the-counter coffeemaker, but if you use this one correctly, it's great.
