Coffee Urn
What You Need to Brew Great Coffee for a Crowd
Do you need a coffee urn? For those not familiar with the difference between a regular coffee maker and an urn, the latter is a type of large coffee maker plus a receptacle.
It is mostly used for brewing large batches of coffee; often it is used for commercial purposes or when there are large gatherings where coffee will be served.
These large-scale coffee makers come in various sizes, with some serving 10-20 cups, some 60-100. They are also designed to keep your coffee warm after brewing without overheating it so you can prepare coffee hours before it needs to be served.
If you need one such product, here are some of the market’s best offers.
West Bend’s 100 Cups of Great Tasting Coffee
West Bend offers a 4.5 star 100-cup commercial coffee urn in the 33600 model. Available for only $123.35, this coffee maker can brew up to 100 cups of coffee in a fast and convenient one-cup-per-minute process. The end of the process is signaled by a serving light. It comes with the auto temperature control for coffee warming.
West Bend’s 100-cup coffee maker is great for use in buffet gatherings and in offices. You can perch it on its stay-cool base so your coffee is just within reach. It has a safe cover lock to prevent coffee spills. It is also equipped with two drip-less faucets for easy serving. This means brewing 100 cups of coffee is no mess at all.
Farberware’s 36 Cups of Excellent Coffee
If 100 cups are too much, then you can settle for Farberware’s 36-cup coffee urn, model FSU236, which is ideal for smaller gatherings. Rated 4.2 stars by reviewers, the $153.54 coffee machine is quite pricier than West Bend’s 100-cup version, but it definitely makes up for the price hike through Farberware’s timeless and reliable quality.
Like West Bend, it brews 1 cup of coffee per minute, with an indicator light to tell you when brewing is done. After brewing, the machine puts the coffee on an automatic keep warm mode.
It comes in a trusty stainless steel body with meticulous construction only a brand like Farberware can manage. It is supported by a cool-touch base and even wins on the style front with its elegant side handle design. The spout is in non-drip style to ensure that coffee drinking is clean and easy.
Hamilton Beach’s 42 Cups of Affordably Brewed Coffee
If you need a mid-scale coffee urn but are on a budget, your best choice is Hamilton Beach’s 42-cup offer, model 40515. With 4 stars out of 5 and an extremely affordable price tag of just $54, this elegant silver urn can brew anywhere from 12 to 42 cups of great coffee. You might miss the automatic keep warm mode of the two previous models, but at this one’s price tag, the package Hamilton Beach offers is pretty decent, especially with a 2-year warranty from Hamilton Beach.
Brewing is over when the machine’s indicator light says to, and you can then start serving coffee through a convenient two-way dispenser; this is so you can easily pour coffee into large carafes and into small cups with no speed or dripping problems.
To ensure trouble-free brewing, the urn comes with a twist-lock lid, large heat-resistant handles, and an easy to fill usage style. It also comes with water level markings to guide you in preparing the coffee. Maintenance is also not an issue with this dishwasher-safe model. This is no doubt an ideal and affordable choice for buffet-style coffee everyone can enjoy.
If you need to prepare many cups of coffee, don’t sweat it out with an ordinary 10-cup or 12-cup. Why waste time and effort when you can get a convenient coffee urn?
