Cuisinart DCC-450BK Coffee undrinkable due to bad odor
Despite multiple cleanings and running about 20 pots of water through the coffee maker, I've been unable to get rid of the strong 'plastic-like' odor that permeates the coffee. Will be disposing of it soon. I've smelled and tasted the same from some hotel coffee makers also largely of plastic.

not worth it
Dribbles fast or slow, and every day, coffee & water all over the counter.
Get a decent coffee maker - that's what I should have done.

Why would you even consider buying this?
It's pretty. (My wife bought it at a store without checking Amazon as part of her kitchen remodeling project.) I don't have any problem with the coffee quality. And the automatic shut-off is a nice feature. But it is virtually impossible to use the carafe to fill the water reservoir because: (1) It is difficult to pour water out of the carafe without spilling it under the "best of circumstances" and only if you have lot more time on your hands than I do when I am trying to get off to work in the morning; and (2) the angle at which the carafe must be held while filling the reservoir is not the "best of circumstances." It is almost as difficult to pour coffee into a cup without spilling unless you have the patience of Job. Nobody needs to put up with this. I realize the Amazon reviews for this coffee maker are all over the map. I'm astounded!
