The Hamilton Beach® Fast Brew Coffee Urn brews coffee 30% faster*, reducing wait-time for your guests. The urn makes 15-45 cups of coffee, and brews 45 cups in just 28 minutes. The urn features dual heaters to keep coffee hot without overheating. The ready light illuminates to let you know when the coffee's ready to serve. The urn is also great to use for hot tea and other drinks. Coffee is easy to pour from the urn using the easy-press lever, which is activated at the push of a cup making it easy to pour coffee using just one hand. The urn easily dispenses coffee into any kind of cup, even disposable cups. Clear water level markings in the urn's water/coffee level window make it easy to see how much water you're adding or how much coffee is left in the urn. The removable coffee filter basket lifts from the urn and is easy to clean in the dishwasher. No paper filters are needed. The brushed finish looks great with every decor and resists fingerprints. The handles stay cool to the touch for comfort, and the lid on the large coffee maker locks in place to eliminate spills.
