Brentwood Appliances TS-213W 4 Cup Coffee Maker, White

I purchased the white version of this coffeemaker in March 2019, so I have had it for 16 months. It replaced another 4-cup unit whose on/off switch wore out and rendered it inoperable. So far, so good with this Brentwood coffeemaker.Some things about my coffeemaker. It is white, not lavender like someone else complained about. White. Being white, the plastic is going to stain over time. Someone else complained about hers staining. Have you ever seen what coffee and tea do to your teeth? My other white coffeemaker got pretty stained up over the many years I had it. Black stains too--you just can't see it.My coffeemaker has leaked once--actually, spilled is the better term. I failed to place the coffee basket properly in the unit, and to top it off, I didn't securely close the reservoir lid. The basket fits a certain way, and the lid must be closed all the way until a friction-fit snap engages. When I have followed those steps, the unit has NEVER leaked. When all else fails, follow instructions.This is a 4-cup coffeemaker. The industry standard is a 5-OUNCE cup--not eight. Twenty ounces will fill the reservoir to the 4-cup mark--I measured. You can put a MAXIMUM of 24 ounces in the reservoir, and that is pushing it. More than that, and the unit will leak--right out the hole under the reservoir lid hinge. Filling to that level will result in a very full carafe--I know that too, because it's what I do. I've also cleaned up more than one overfill.The cord is thirty inches long. Not as long as some appliances, but I'm good with that.Another complaint was that the coffee wasn't hot enough. It is unless you put half a pint of French vanilla creamer in that 5-ounce cup. Remember, coffee temps were regulated by Big Brother after after some idiots spilled their drive-thru coffee on themselves and there were some lawsuits.One other complaint about this coffeemaker was the plastic/chemical smell. Mine had it too. Seems most of these coffeemakers do, especially if they are made in China, like this one. I think I ran some vinegar through mine; that seems to help. Good luck on finding a US-made coffeemaker. If I could have, you wouldn't be reading this.The coffeemaker includes a measuring spoon and a permanent plastic mesh filter. I don't use either one. I do use a #2 paper CONE filter in mine. I just don't like those reusable filters--personal choice here.All in all, I like my Brentwood coffeemaker. It makes what I consider pretty good coffee, and it is reasonably fast. It is probably not a good fit for two people, unless you are each happy with one smaller than giant-sized cup of coffee. My only complaint about this unit is that it could be a little easier to take apart for cleaning. I can live with that.

1. I like the white color, much easier to see the water as you pour it in and better overall 2. my manual says it will automatically shut off after 2 or 3 hours. I haven't tested it to see if that is true or not. 3. it takes my wedge shaped paper filters much better than the Mr. Coffee unit. 4. it is much more quiet than the Mr. Coffee, it make lots of perking noise, excessive I thought. This unit is much better. 5. the pot fits deeply in the heater, a very nice feeling and fitting system, so much better than the Mr. Coffee. 6. The red light that it is on is big and bright, the Mr. Coffee has a pale green light to let you know it is on. So this Brentwood is better even on the "on" light. 7. It has sensible directions. 8. It comes with a filter that would eliminate paper filters, but I like paper so I don't use the mesh filter that came with it. You can't get better for your money than his coffee maker.

I used this coffee pot about 5 times. The reason for white is because you can make sure the well stays clean and does not grow mold in the tank. I was very happy at first but then one morning when I flipped the switch it did nothing.! I tried everything but decided to send it back.

I wanted a small, white, 4-cup coffeemaker -- not an easy product to find -- but it's ideal for one person in a small kitchen. It works well if you're careful with it because it is very light weight. I'm very happy with it.

As a single person my mother doesn't need a larger coffee maker any more. She is extremely happy with this four cup coffee maker, it's ease of use and cleaning, and the flavor of the coffee.

The coffee maker looks great, it's compact and small, so it will fit perfectly in small spaces and makes coffee well and easily. If you don't fill the filter up with coffee, you can avoid a mess. I am giving it a 3 stars because it has a HUGE plastic smell and has made my coffee taste like plastic too! Not good. I have let it run on water and baking soda for like 10 times, trying to cleanse it of the plastic smell and the smell has lessen but not 100%. I will run it a couple more times with just water and baking soda and if the smell doesn't completely disappear, I'll throw it out. Sad because I really like it but if it'll be toxic, it's completely not worth it!

Our 4 cup Mr. Coffee maker up and died less than 2 years of use, so instead of paying more money for them I decided to try another brand. I was shocked to see that this Brentwood 4cup white was almost 1/3 the price of our dead Mr. Coffee. That's no joke, look it up! Long story short, it's a great coffee maker! It feels much sturdier than our Mr. Coffee and it came with more accessories, all at a fraction of the price! A+ Buy.

This is exactly what wanted. A small, simple and cheap coffee brewer. It comes with the little scooper- 1 level scoop per serving is perfect. The serving size is about 6oz, so the 4 serving carafe will make about 2 mugs (which is all I want). I'm very happy with this purchase, what more do you want for 12 bucks?.. Also I took a gamble ordering this one,as I wanted the white one and it seems that their listings are screwed up.. Anyway, I got white just like the other reviews said. The listing with the black one is about $20.If you're looking for small white coffee maker, get this..why not?. Plus the mccafe Columbian is delicious! 😋

The size and the white colour is just what I needed.

Cute as a button, and makes exactly 2 cups of Joe. No more, no less. Great when my wife and I travel, as I don't drink coffee, and she has enough with one prep. Heats up fast, solid (for plastic) construction, nice carafe which pours adequately.

After putting through at least 30 cycles of water and vinegar, the overwhelming plastic smell does not go away, and seems to get worse. Have left it for days to see if the machine would off-gas. No. The coffee was undrinkable. Not worth my effort to return this piece of garbage.

Works great. Love the reusable basket and white matching other appliances.

Good one person.
