Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart DCC-450BK 4-Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless-Steel Carafe, Black
Customer Review: Not good
Summary: 1 Stars
I wanted a nice 4 cup coffee maker. This does not do the job. The coffee is not great, it is ok. The caraf drips down the side when you pour. The coffee does not stay warm and it turns off after 1/2 hour. Customer Review: Darth Percolator
Summary: 2 Stars
This machine, which my husband and I named "Darth Percolator" because of it's scuba mask-like sounds while brewing, has been reliable for me and has never overflowed. Yes, you can't see through the metal carafe, but it is also easy to clean. My main complaint is the dribble factor. This carafe spills more coffee all over my kitchen counter than in my cup when I attempt to pour. I have found that it is easiest to pour the coffee into my cup whist holding it over the sink, so when HALF of the contents dump out they will not stain my floor. Bad design.Customer Review: An early burn out!
Summary: 1 Stars
Started out great. Now about 2 months old - at which point, it decided to stop making coffee and burn out. During its short life, it made good coffee.Customer Review: leaky carafe and frequently overflows
Summary: 1 Stars
The coffeemaker frequently overflows when making coffee, causing a huge mess in the kitchen. The carafe leaks where the handle is attached, further making a mess. Fed up now and into the trash. Last Cuisinart I buy.Customer Review: NOT recommended
Summary: 1 Stars
I usually do not write product reviews, but this coffeemaker was of such poor quality, that I felt compelled to inform others of its major flaws.
1. Broke after ONLY 3 months of use! I previously owned a Mr. Coffee 4-cup maker for 4 years.
2. Produces plastic taste in coffee - that is if you don't leave the lid up to allow the water to dry out after brewing. Makes you wonder what kind of toxins are making their way into your coffee.
3. Carafe spills while pouring - I know this sounds unbelievable, but the poor design of the lid results in a mess when pouring at a moderate rate.
I would advise against buying this coffeemaker. It looks good, but that's all.
