Made to handle a crowd, the Hamilton Beach 45 cup coffee urn is ideal for business meetings, social gatherings and buffet style meals. Since coffee is the drink of choice among most adults, you wouldn't want to host a large event without serving hot, freshly brewed coffee to attendees. It brews about a cup per minute and an indicator light lets you know when the coffee is ready. The two-way dispenser can fill a single cup or be propped to fill a larger carafe. The lid and brew basket are dishwasher safe and a detachable cord makes for easy storage. With an attractive metal finish, this urn looks good on any serving table. It also has comfortable handles and a locking lid to avoid spills.
