What About This Space Saving Solution?

Do you know that under cabinet coffee makers are ideal for small spaces? These machines allow you to brew coffee without taking up vital counter space. They were designed for this very purpose, and do the job well.

There aren't many models available, as most coffee makers currently manufactured are the typical countertop versions. However, there are a few types from which to choose, and in this review, we'll look at the advantages and disadvantages of each type.

The Black And Decker Space Maker

The Black and Decker Space Maker is perhaps the most popular under cabinet coffee maker. It is affordable, with a price range of around $50 US. However, the installation is less than state-of-the-art. The advantages of this machine include the space saving under cabinet design, auto shutoff, easy programmability, an easy fill removable water reservoir, and easy control and access.

The disadvantages of the Space Maker are its tendency to overfill and flood, difficult installation instructions, and a basket that doesn't always lock as it should.

The screws that are included with the installation kit are not flush with the top of the maker, which can interfere with installing directly beneath the cabinet.
The basket is prone to opening during brewing which can lead to spills and floods.
The original version of the Black and Decker Space Maker works much better than the new and improved versions. However, you may have difficulty finding it unless you buy it used.

The new versions on the market have caused consumers all sorts of problems, from overflows to burns and cold coffee. If you are in need of an under the cabinet coffee maker, you may want to consider buying a used earlier version or trying a different model completely.

Brewmatic Built-In Coffee Maker

The Brewmatic built-in coffee maker is a higher end under cabinet coffee maker. It provides the coveted space-saving design, but at a cost. Price ranges from $400 - $500 US. However, you'll be getting a great piece of equipment for the money that will provide you with quality coffee for years.

Brewmatic Built-In 12-Cup

The machine will brew from 2-12 cups at a time, and you can select the quantity by turning a dial. It connects directly to the water line, providing an instant source of hot water for making tea, hot chocolate, or any other hot beverage. It can also brew directly into a travel mug for on-the-go coffee drinkers.

This is a high quality machine, worlds above the Black and Decker model. The only disadvantage is the cost. But, if you really want to make an investment in an under cabinet coffee maker, this machine is a must-have.

Conclusion

Overall, an under cabinet coffee maker can be a great choice if you have limited space. But, in order to get one that won't cause more trouble than it's worth, you'll have to be willing to invest some money.

My choice for the best under cabinetmaker is the Brewmatic built-in coffee maker. The price is higher but it has fantastic functionality, it can't be beat. The Black and Decker model seems to have too many problems, despite the low price.

However, keep in mind that experiences will vary and choose the model that's right for you.
