Question: Is this metal or plastic? Does any plastic come in contact with the coffee?
Document: The spout is plastic and not plain glass like my other ones. 2. The pot has a more elongated shape, verses the rounder shape of my old pots. They each broke after coming into contact with other dishes either at the spout area or the rounded "shoulder" area.
The whole kitchen smelled like burning plastic.It's no longer under warranty but I will contact Cuisinart today....I shouldn't have to worry about fire from a 2 year old appliance that was turned off. I will not be buying another Cuisinart coffeemaker. I am just thankful we were home or who knows what could have happened.
We have had to return ours to Costco because one of the nipples/ hinges for the lid broke. As soon as the new ones come in we are getting another one. It makes good coffee, doesn't leak, alarm is noticeable but not annoying.I have to say that it would be better if some things like the nipple/ hinges were made of metal or somethig more durable/ flexible, but thats what the warranty is for.
We are in love with this coffeemaker! We are hard-core coffee lovers, and this has all the basic features anyone needs without all the "bells and whistles" some coffeemakers have.Cuisinart clearly did their homework listening to consumers when they designed this. The hard metal exterior blows away other flimsy plastic coffeemakers by competitors that cost the same or more.
I have seen some of the older stainless steel ones as display models at Lowes and Bed Bath & Beyond, but the ones in the boxes available to buy are the newer plastic ones. Not that the finish is not attractive, but they really ought to change the description from "brushed metal" to "metal-look plastic. "That said, if you don't care about the finish, this is an excellent coffee maker.
It is indeed black with plastic resembling brushed metal, but it isn't metal. My old one is metal.....magnets stick to it. The new one magnets do not stick to. Not a big deal as far as coffee brewing goes, but it irritates me that it's advertised as metal. I wanted exactly what I already have (and will continue to use until it dies), but it seems they have indeed discontinued at least that part.
I have had this coffee maker for one month and as much as I like nearly everything about it, I am very disappointed that is is NOT actual stainless steel. The older ones were stainless, but on the newer ones the metal-look surfaces are plastic that looks like brushed stainless from a distance. But if you are going to have this coffee maker sitting close to your other stainless appliances, it will not match.
It is a nicety and can be readily found if you search the net for "dcc1200 water filter".Enough defending complaints though. This machine makes superb coffee. It has the best carafe I have ever used(it will not spill a drop and it has a built-in plastic rim to keep you from busting it on the sink). It comes with a gold metal filter. Buy it and you will like it. And if for some strange reason you don't, then take it back.
So....I expected black plastic and real brushed metal (like my Mr. Coffee). Evidently, they are only talking about the color of brushed metal. The whole machine is totally plastic. (kind of misleading). I proceeded to sit down and spend the night trying to figure out how to use the machine. Well....this is where I was pleasantly surprised. No sweat. Took me all of five minutes.....nothing complicated here.
I had certain expectations when I ordered this coffee maker...recognized name, nice features, good reviews. But the truth is this product leaves much to be desired. The coffee flavor is good, so I haven't heaved it into the trash, but the hype is misleading. The brushed metal face is pure plastic - the only thing metal on my unit is the small toggle switch to turn it on/off (which I like).
Answer: The interior is all plastic, including the filter basket. (Although they do supply a a reusable, metal basket- that I do not use. The carafe is glass with plastic top. The water goes through a paper filter and into the glass carafe - so I guess, technically, the brewed coffee has very little contact with plastic.
