This coffee maker has been on Amazon's best seller list in Coffee, Tea & Espresso Appliances for over 2 years.

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 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.
