Anyone brewing for more than two people should look at a larger machine, 4 cups is a real ceiling here. If you want programmable scheduling, brew strength settings, or a thermal carafe, none of those are in this machine.

Overview
The Brentwood TS-213W brews up to 4 cups using ground coffee in a reusable filter, which keeps the per-brew cost low and eliminates the paper filter routine. At 650W it is one of the lower-wattage drip machines around, which means slower heating than higher-output brewers, a minor tradeoff for a machine this basic.
The white plastic build measures 8 x 7 x 10 in and weighs 2.5 lb, making it genuinely compact and easy to tuck away. Manual operation via button controls keeps the interface as simple as possible. No dishwasher-safe designation is listed, and no smart home compatibility is included, this is a stripped-down machine designed for basic drip brewing at minimal cost.
At $25.99 with 855 reviews at 4.1 stars, the TS-213W performs above the average for budget drip machines in terms of buyer satisfaction. The 4-cup limit is both its primary constraint and its defining feature, there is no waste if you are consistently brewing for one or two people.
