Hamilton Beach 45 Cup Coffee Urn and Hot Beverage Dispenser, Silver

good product, works well. takes a while to heat up the water, when i first started it it was making lot of noise but after it is quite.

The Hamilton Beach 45 Cup Coffee Urn and Hot Beverage Dispenser is a great addition to any event, office, or anywhere there's a large demand for coffee. It brews quickly and keeps coffee hot for hours, which is great in hectic settings. Its professional look of a sleek silver finish with a two-way dispenser to fit a single cup or continuous pour is super convenient. Cleaning up is easy, considering the interior design and the parts that are removable. The capacity is ideal for large crowds and saves time from constant refills. Whether it is for coffee or any other hot beverage, this urn performs excellently every time!

It worked perfectly for what I needed.

Every year we have a "liquid lunch" or soup party to end the Summer. We have over 70 people attend and never enough coffee. At the last minute I came to Amazon, did the research and chose this Hamilton Beach for two reasons - first, the price was right and secondly, it qualified for Prime and could be here by Friday (party was Saturday). It arrived on Friday as promised, we set it up and would make coffee Saturday. Takes approx. 1 minute per cup of coffee so you know when to start it. When done, remove the basket so it does not continue to perk and it keeps the coffee hot. Friday afternoon my daughter decided she wanted to make a huge pot of hot chocolate as an alternative to coffee. She went to a local store and purchased this same item. Believe it or not, it was only $1 cheaper at this local store BUT you should calculate the time and gas to get there, looking for it and coming back home. As far as I'm concerned, this item is a great buy through Amazon Prime. Both pots worked very well for the party. The reason for one less star is because the inside discolored above the fill line and I have no clue why. It happened on both. The pot with coffee did not scorch nor did it burn the coffee. The hot chocolate pot, however, had settlement on the bottom and that kept getting thicker and thicker. Of course we didn't know this until we emptied it to clean it. I managed to get it clean but it's something you should keep in mind if you're using for hot chocolate. Over all I'm completely satisfied and we had great hot coffee and hot cocoa for a cold October day. We will use this item for parties only so if that's what you need it for (a few parties a year) then the price is right and the item seems to be just the ticket. If you have a break room that it would be used constantly or church dinners more often than a few a year, I would suggest investing in a commercial grade pot just for the sake of a more heavy duty product.

Really nice. Seals perfectly. It holds a lot of liquid. We make coffee for the homeless and so far it has been good for us. Easy to assembly. Easy to clean if you use a brush that reaches to the bottom. Not to heavy. We make the coffe and bring it out side for the homeless and it last it hot for at least 2hrs without being plug. The only bad thing was that we have to use a cheese cloth to brew the coffee. The holes in where you put the coffee are a little to big and the coffee powder can go through it.

Seems to be made from quality materials and does a good job keeping brewed coffee warm. Real issue is the lack of information that states how 45 cups is calculated. The volume of this brewer isn't stated anywhere so 45 cups is dependent on how big that cup is and I haven't tried to figure out the volume. Havnt needed 45 cups of coffee so it may not actually matter. For sure world peace as been facilitated due to this item.

Useful for fall and winter gatherings. Keeps the beverage hot and easy to use.

Perfect size and easy to clean! Used at the park for hot chocolate on a rainy day and have used at several family events. Coffee stay hot!
