Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemaker Review

Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemakers with Stainless-Steel Carafe, Black

Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemakers, Pink

Factory Reconditioned Cuisinart DCC-450R 4-Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe, Red

  • Additional Merchants - New & Used - Black

    This Cuisinart coffee maker is available in black, white and pink colors. All three colors come with a stainless steel carafe. This coffee maker has been on Amazon's best seller list in Coffee, Tea & Espresso Appliances for over 2 years. It is currently ranked number 10, and has been in the top 100 for over 800 days at the time of this writing.

    This is a 4 cup coffee maker that is compact and comes with an automatic shut-off function that turns the unit off after 30 minutes. The stainless steel carafe that comes packed with this machine has a generous handle, knuckle guard, and a dripless pour spout to keep you from dripping coffee all over your counter or table. If you want a cup of coffee while brewing, you can use the brew-pause function which allows for a quick pour and then resumes brewing.

    You have a convenient and simple "on" indicator light. This unit is in a modern design and comes in black or pink and stainless steel. Included is an instruction manual. Comes with a 3 year warranty and measures 7.5 inches x 5 inches x 10.5 inches. This 4 cup coffeemaker is ideal for a household with one or two coffee drinkers. Has a small footprint taking up little counter space. Also included is a #2 paper filter starter kit.


    Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemaker PROS:

  • Perfect for small household
  • Makes delicious coffee
  • Efficient
  • Easy to Clean
  • Esthetically pleasing
  • Brews hot enough for most
  • Optional pink color
  • Inexpensive
  • Small Footprint
  • Durable stainless steel carafe


    Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemaker CONS:

  • Permanent filter not included
  • Cannot see the amount of coffee in carafe due to being stainless steel rather than glass
  • Carafe drips when pouring
  • Hot Plate rusts
  • Coffee lukewarm
  • Cord is short
  • Water chamber is hard to fill
  • Auto shutoff occurs too soon - after 15 or 20 minutes
  • Could use a brighter "on" light
  • Cannot get the last drops of coffee out of the carafe
  • Carafe cover is difficult to remove

    Cuisinart DCC-450 4-Cup Coffeemaker Summary:
    This seems to be one of those coffee makers you love or you hate. A lot of complaints about the carafe dripping and the unit shutting off too soon leaving you with cold coffee. But then a lot of users liked it because it was simple to use, had a durable carafe, made a decent cup of coffee, and was compact and took up little space on the counter. The only universal negative was that it didn't come with a permanent filter. But then for the price you probably wouldn't expect to get one. Even so, you can purchase them separately.
