Zulay Commercial 45 Cup Coffee Urn - Stainless Steel Coffee Maker With Twist-Lock Lid & Cool-Touch Handles - Quick Brewing Coffee Maker With Keep Warm Mode For Events & Catering - Silver

Very pleased with this item. It is double walled so it keep the coffee hot. It works fast and I like that it has an on/off switch and then two lights, one telling you it is brewing and the second to say coffee is ready and staying warm. The spicot is easy to work and the right height to put a coffee cup underneath. I got many compliments from the coffee drinkers as to how good it was.

We run a non-profit coffeehouse that provides free meals and a LOT of coffee throughout the week. I have an issue with using aluminum cooking devices that interact with acids in any way. Coffee is fairly acidic so I opted to relegate the older aluminum model to heating water for hot cocoa and tea only, and purchased this for our coffee. We have regular visitors that consume a lot of coffee here and the comments came back immediately about how much better the coffee tasted in this new urn. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I can't offer comment, but I can pass on what our friends say and they are very satisfied with the change. I'm not sure the cleaning or other functions are that much different than the old urn, but the look is very pleasant and professional. The basket for the grounds is also stainless steel and not plastic which is another plus in my book when in comes to questionable materials interacting with acidic liquids...the health and taste factors do matter to me. I also like the glass column that allows you to see the coffee level as well.

Keeps water very hot and ready for use. I bought three of these Zulay Hot Water urns and have been very happy with them. However, one of the urns started leaking hot water even when it is sitting on the counter. It can burn someone who is just pouring a cup from the spigot. I reached out to the Zulay people a year ago ! to report this and they have been extremely unhelpful in resolving this issue despite the fact that the urns have a lifetime guarantee. All three were bought through Amazon and I have supplied them with the order numbers and they still have not made good on this defective piece. The urns, when they worked, were very good but the company does not seem to be honest about their guarantee. I recommend the urns but cannot recommend the company because they do not stand behind their product or their guarantee.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This coffee urn makes the hottest coffee imaginable. That works well for me because I’m constantly on the go, so I put my coffee in a thermos. Hours later the coffee is still hot. It percolates quickly considering how large this urn is. I love that I don’t have to use coffee filters with this model. And the coffee urn is huge! It makes enough coffee to last my family of 5 all day. The downside of this coffee urn is if you fill the water to the full line it splatters coffee in a 2 foot wide mess while percolating. That’s easily fixed by filling the urn couple inches shy of the full line. I purchased the urn in January. By July the spout is leaking. I expected more from a coffee urn that costs over $100. But even though it didn’t last long it’s still my favorite coffee urn I’ve ever owned. I read on the web site they have a lifetime warranty. But I doubt I’ll go through the trouble of contacting them, having a part shipped to me, fixing it myself, or sending them the old one. Most people wouldn’t. Which is why the lifetime warranty is so effective now a days I suspect. It gives people confidence to buy the product that costs a bit more but there’s very little risk of people as busy as we are going through the hassle of replacement.

So far so good. The shipping was on schedule and the delivery driver was quite the character

DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THIS. The lid is VERY flimsy! We used this machine 5 days a week for 1 month and the lid deformed. It no longer fits and coffee bubbles out of the top, creating a burn hazard. GUESS WHAT, IT HAPPENED JUST AFTER THE RETURN WINDOW CLOSED.

Easy to use and easy to clean.

I bought this items one month apart last year (October and November). Initially, it was just for whenever we have a party at work. But now, whenever the non-profit org I am involved with has an event, this 2 goes with us. Whether it be a meeting or symposium or a picnic. I bought the slender one first then I ordered the two-toned one a month later. I like the two-toned one (black and “stainless”) better because it has a power switch and indicator lights (for heating and keep warm) and the power cord is attached and is short. Though, it takes longer to make coffee, maybe more than 30 minutes. The slender type (on the right, all black) makes coffee quickly, just one indicator light and the power cord is detachable. So you can use a much longer cord if needed. Everyone loves the coffee on both. I use 3.5 gallon water to fill both percolators. I use 2.5 cups of coffee grounds for each. I have tested it with starbucks coffee grounds. But the great tasting one (and as per my guests) is the Pete’s coffee grounds. First try was the Dark roast french roast and today I used the hazelnut mocha flavor. It was again a success! The two-toned one is the is best for me between the 2.

Calidad precio excelente Como muchos, tenia mis dudas en realizar la inversión, sin embargo, no hay nada que recapacitar. 16 lt de agua, transofrmados en cafe en un promedio de 60 minutos, PROMEDIO. Muy bien detallada y excelente sabor del café.

Worth the money! Great product and brews quietly. Makes 50 cups of coffee, easy pour spout, beautiful and well made. I love the stainless steel basket to place coffee. Highly recommend!

Percolator Pot Dispenser With Double-Wall Stainless Steel, Quick Brew, Stays Hot - Also for Water, Tea, Beverage at Events & Catering - 50 Cup Black”. Despite the slightly lower star rating, I selected this product due to the better quality metal and insulation not found on cheaper versions. It worked great on a houseboat trip and provided more than enough daily coffee for 15 adults. Brewing took less time than I expected too, maybe closer to 40 or 45 minutes for a full pot. The lights are bright and obvious to show everyone when it’s ready versus when it’s still brewing. It’s big, but doesn’t take up way more volume than a regular countertop coffee maker. The capacity gauge was hard to read at times, and you do need to tip it forward to get the last of the coffee out. But overall this worked well for the intended purpose.

He intentado comunicarme con Zulay para intentar reemplazar el control de temperatura sin exito.

BS"D Although this product did not meet our needs, customer service was INCREDIBLE. In the end they issued us a full refund with no issues whatsoever.
