This is a great product. It came at the perfect time for me to use at a parent club function. It heated quickly, came out of the spout perfectly and was just the right temperature. Great product that I will use a lot! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

The Hamilton Beach fast brew urn is perfect for any crowd. Was very easy to set up and Brews very quickly. My favorite feature is the hands-free where you can fill a cup it makes for a cleaner setup and especially nice when your hands are full at a buffet or event. This is so much easier than making multiple pots of coffee and the coffee stays hot and fresh to the very last cup. With a group of 20 will be able to to get two cups of coffee during the event without having to make another pot. If you do have to make another pot during an event it's really fast in brewing and the quality is the same throughout from pot to pot. If you're getting ready to host an event this is the perfect coffee urn for entertaining. I would definitely recommend a Hamilton Beach fast brew urn for all of my friends and family who likes to entertain as much as I do. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is perfect and just what I needed for my family get togethers. It's slightly smaller than a usual urn but makes 15 to 45 cups of coffee/ hot beverages. I use this for hot tea most of the time and it's easy to use. Takes about 25 minutes to brew but it's definitely easy to use and worth it for a big crowd. It has a temperature gauge and a lever to pour the perfect amount. Would definitely recommend! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this for when I host large gatherings. The was perfect for a group on 12 or 25! It was so easy to use and to clean. The only reason I gave it a 4 star review was because of how loud it was when it percolated and how hot the sides of the urn would get. After the coffee was made it was quiet and keep the coffee hot for hours, which was ideal for serving coffee throughout my party. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Got this for my boyfriend's brother so he can make his ice tea. This was perfect for it. The tea came out perfectly and strong not weak like when he would make it on the stove. This makes enough tea for the week. He loved it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

We have been using this for our office safety meetings and it has been great! It easily makes enough for everyone quickly, the handles stay cool and the lever is easy to use, no dripping everywhere. The coffee level is very handy, it always let's us know how much is left and when we need to make another pot. Clean up is a breeze, we are very happy with this coffee maker!

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 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. [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. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
