West Bend 33600 100-Cup Commercial Coffee Urn

Haven’t used this one yet... but bought two used off Craigslist and after making lots of coffee for work, it started to not work as well (turns on/off).. I’m pretty sure it’s just the electrical cable that needs to be looked at. Been meaning to buy another anyway in case one craps out. I use one for hot water and one for coffee.. I think when I unscrew the bottom, I’ll be able to secure the cable, and probably never use this one. Secret to making good coffee is finding the right grounds... and for some reason mounding the grounds towards the center makes a difference. Also, when the light turns off, take the grounds out.. careful hot and drips coffee. This will keep the coffee from cooking and keep it fresh. Makes coffee is about an hour to hour 30mins depending on the number of cups. Pretty durable. I keep my coffee in a Starbucks cambro. Keep hot water plugged in in this.

I bought this coffee urn several weeks ago and have used it every week since...for TEA! I drink a lot of tea, all kinds of tea really, but mostly black, and it has to be FRESH brewed. I used to make tea every 1-2 days using one of those lightweight plastic brewers, which works fine too, it just couldn't keep up with my demand & I was getting really sick & tired of making it so often. Now I make it just once a week on weekends, 2.5 gallons at a time. I had researched a bunch of different kinds of commercial type tea brewers, but for some reason they seem to run in the $200-600 range. I've made a lot of tea in my regular coffee pot too, so I started looking at these large coffee brewers as a possible alternative. I figured for the price, it would be worth a try. So far, I absolutely love this thing! So easy to use, so easy to clean! If tea would stay fresh for 2 weeks at a time, I'd make 5 gallons instead. I bought a 2.5 gallon plastic water jug (rectangle gas can shape) with a spigot from Walmart for a few bucks, fill it up once the fresh brewed tea cools down, and store it in on the top shelf of my fridge. It's a miracle. So the point of this long review is really to brag about this thing as a cost-effective tea maker, as it's already proven to be an incredible coffee maker. I've also got a half-dozen other uses in mind for it! Zero complaints. SPECIAL NOTE: If you plan on using this machine to make tea (or coffee for that matter), you MUST keep in mind that the "cup" marks on the side of the urn indicate the philosophical international "standard" (it's complicated) fluid ounces for a cup of coffee (roughly 5.5oz), NOT the U.S. standard of 8 fluid oz. in a cup. So that's roughly 100 5.5oz cups of coffee. When you brew tea with tea bags, their measurements are 8oz. per cup as a serving. 320oz in 2.5 gallons is 40 servings at 8oz./cup. The family size tea bags I use brew 4 8oz. cups per bag, so I need 10 bags for 320oz. Just saving you the trouble...

Muy buena precoladora, el problema son las refacciones, solo las puedes encontrar en USA. Despues de varios meses, presentaron fallas y las deje de usar. Cambie de marca
