[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Makes a nice amount of coffee. Easy to use. Coffee stayed nice and hot. I do not recommend using a flattened paper coffee filter because the water does not filter through correctly. Overall a nice product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why I havent gotten one of these long ago. The calcium in the water here clogs the new coffee pots within a few months. Even after cleaning them they still don't last, I've been through 6.5 coffee makers in the past year. This is just like the one my father has which after 34 years still works. I drink about three 12 cup coffee carafes every day. I can now look forward to enjoying coffee all day as it holds so much. The sound of it brewing has brought back many memories of my dad making coffee for the coin club , along with donuts to dunk. Thank you Hamilton Beach for the trip back to the past and the future memories this coffee maker will bring.

Great Coffe Urn

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for a family get together we were having. I loved it made the coffee very fast and kept it warm. As long as it stays plugged in it will heat the coffee. The cord is not detachable. Can use paper or basket type filter. I have a very big family so it was great. I would highly recommend it. It is very easy to use and to clean. Only con on this is that you cant forget about turning it off when done as it doesn't have auto cut off other than that its great.

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.

[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.

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!
