Brentwood Appliances TS-117S Electric Turkish Coffee Maker- 4-Cup

This product stopped working after only 4 uses. Thankfully, it was still within the return period. I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews stating that others experienced the same problem after only a few uses. I would also note the following: (1) the pot is HUGE and not really appropriate for making one or two cups of Greek/Turkish coffee; (2) the water boils MUCH too fast (properly making this type of coffee requires bringing the water to a slow boil so that the foam is created); (3) the too fast boil gives the coffee a weak flavor; and (4) the pot itself is not fluted to narrow at the top (as with a traditional briki). This also adversely affects the “cooking” process and limits the production of the foam on top. I have a Beko automatic Turkish coffee maker at my home in Greece and at my office here in the USA. Each unit I own produces perfect Turkish coffee in under three minutes with good foam. Those units cost approximately $170.00 US dollars. I was trying to save money by purchasing this unit. I was wrong. You get what you pay for………..
