Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe, White
Customer Review: Going in the trash
Summary: 1 Stars
Ditto to most of the reviews I have read. I wanted a nice little 4-cup coffee maker, reviews seemed adequate and it looked attractive. I CAN NOT LIVE WITH IT ANYMORE!! You cannot pour water into the machine with the carafe. You have to use something else or it pours all over the counter. Same when you pour coffee. Must be done over the sink or there's coffee all over the counter. The pause and pour works 50% of the time,therefore more coffee on the counter. The worst though is the taste. I have tried every trick in the book to get rid of the metallic,horrid taste. What is the use in drinking coffee when it tastes so horrible. It is going in the trash today and something, anything will replace it.Customer Review: did anyone try this before putting into production?
Summary: 2 Stars
Virtually impossible to pour water into the coffee maker or pour a cup of coffee without a mess on the counter. "sneak a cup" feature worked for about 2 weeks and now leaks. When you open the lid on the coffeemaker any condensation runs down the hinge and down the back of the machine. Auto turn off works most of the time, but not always so can't depend on it. If I try to have the coffee maker set up and ready to turn on later it leaks water all over. This is the second one we've had in 5 months--both had same problems. You know you have a cheap product when the store replaces with no questions asked AND tells you not to return the old one "just throw it away". We're switching to another brand.Customer Review: Great coffeemaker!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've sure never experienced any of the negatives other reviewers have. I owned mine for about three years; never had a problem with it, until one day it just quit brewing. Three years of daily use, not bad... I have two others (bigger, for "company") in the closet; drug one of them out but I miss my little Cuisinart, so I'm replacing it. In fact, I'm getting TWO, because I figure they'll probably stop production by the time I need another. This is the only stainless steel thermal I've found that has the heating plate; the ones without it just don't seem to get the coffee quite hot enough. And the stainless steel? I think coffee just tastes better from it!Customer Review: Spillage is a major problem
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the red model to save space. It makes great coffee, and very quickly. I bought a permanent coffee filter that's easy to use & clean. The major problem I've had is with spillage; the lid is very loose, and it spills water all over the counter when I'm adding it to the tank. Same problem, when I pour the coffee; half of it pours over the edge. There's problems with the brew pause feature, which doen't always work..I have to clean out that part after every use to make it work; what a hassle! I expected a lot more from a quality manufacturer! PS- Cuisinart is sending me a new lid and basket after I called and complained.Customer Review: Substandard Cuisinarts Product
Summary: 2 Stars
My wife worked for Cuisinarts. She thought their products were excellent. I own a Cuisinarts Convection Oven that is really super. Their four-cup coffeemaker, sorry to say, is junk - well below Cuisinarts standards. It drips and dribbles. It is awkward to fill. Wait until the first time you start to pour out some scalding hot coffee and the coffee dribbles all over the table, the up-coming steam hits your bare hand, you move your hand and the top of the pot falls off and coffee spills all over! The coffee it brews however is tasty. I would not recommend this pot.
