Great urn, just 1 small caveat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee urn is great for large groups. It brews 45 cups very fast, I did not time it but it was less than 30 minutes. I tried 25 cups and it took 20 minutes. Cleaning was easy. I especially liked the one handed dispenser into a coffee mug! The dispenser is easy to operate and does not leak. One thing that I do not like is you have to unplug it, there is no on off switch. One small thing to know, if you want to make smaller amounts to have and keep it warming for hot coffee for longer periods of time you can not. When it gets down to 20 cups you have to unplug it. Since the urn is not insulated like an air pot you see in a convenience store, coffee gets cold quickly. This limitation will make this urn useful for only large gatherings.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Hamilton Beach FlexBrew that I use daily for making individual cups of coffee when I go to work and use the 12 cup pot for weekends, but I needed something larger when we have guests over for social events. The Fast Brew Urn 45 cup was the problem solver. I have used it twice now and it works great. I made 30 cups of coffee for the guys during one event and we brewed 45 cups of just hot water for tea for another event for my wife and her lady friends. Now we don't have to stop and brew more small pots while guest are visiting!!! We love it and some of the guest are even talking about getting one.
Thanks Hamilton Beach for another great product and problem solver!

Just what I needed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this coffee urn! The urn makes 45 cups of great coffee in 28 minutes and it stays warm and toasty, not burned. Although, you don't need a coffee filter, I used a basket style filter, flattened with a hole in it for the stem. This made cleanup much easier. The handle is great, you can either push it with your cup or set the cup below the spout and lift. either way it works nicely and doesn't drip. A light turns on and stays on when the coffee or water is hot. You must plug the urn into the wall to begin brewing and unplug to turn it off. It would be better if it had an on/off switch so it's easier not to forget to turn it off. For a large urn this doesn't
take up very much space, about the same as a regular coffee maker. Just what I needed for
when my large family comes over for brunch or lucheons with friends.

Perfect for family & holiday gatherings!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This coffee urn was a real pleasure to use. The size is perfect ... not big & clunky, easy to store, and takes up minimal counter space.
The coffee maker is in 3 pieces - easy to put together, take apart and clean. I made 3 pots of coffee, both 15 cups and 45 cups - 1 Pot without a paper filter, and 2 with.
The directions say you don’t need a paper filter, but you do, unless you like grounds in your cup. Making coffee is super easy ... put water in the pot, put the filter in the basket, add your coffee, and plug it in.
Brewing 15 cups of coffee took only 6 minutes! (Got distracted when brewing 45 cups, so I can’t tell you how long it took.).
Left the coffee warming for 4 hours - perfect temperature, no burned taste!
On the other hand, I do have a few negative comments to make.
When first turning on the coffee maker, it made a popping sound, but that didn’t last long. The water level is hard to read, but once the coffee starts brewing and the water turns “coffee colored” it’s easy to see. The cord is a bit short, but then all appliance cords are these days (I assume that’s because of some government regulation).
The biggest concerns with this coffee maker concern heat and steam. The “pot” is metal, and the outside does get hot. To be on the safe side, I’d make sure it was sitting high enough that “little hands” can’t reach.
When heating up and brewing, the hot water generates steam. Unfortunately, the steam escapes right over the side handles of the pot. It would be better if the lid had a vent valve to let the steam escape upwards towards the rear.
Even with the few negatives, this is definitely a great coffee maker, deserving a 5-star rating! It’s going to be a permanent fixture at our family gatherings. I recommend this coffee urn to anyone who hosts group events!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this Fast Brew Urn. Its compact, despite being able to make 45 cups. It takes little space. I also love being able to see the coffee and water levels, as well as the one hand operation! Fantastic for parties of all size.

Enough hot beverage for a crowd.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This urn does brew a bit faster than other products of similar size. I recommend using a medium grind coffee as finer grinds may get through the filter. Be sure to allow enough time for coffee to brew completely. Set up the the machine first, and take care of other tasks during the inactive brewing time. This would also be ideal if you need a lot of hot water for cocoa or hot tea.
