Having a party? This brews fast, is easy to use and makes really good coffee
I bought this for Thanksgiving where we had 50+ attending and a lot of after dinner coffee drinkers. I had purchased another brand (that I had only used once) and planned to use that for regular and this new Hamilton Beach 45 cup for the decaf.The big day came and I set up my old one (used once) and panicked when I realized after half an hour it was not working!Then the Hamilton Beach 45 Cup Fast Brew came to the rescue. I took it out of the box, hand washed, poured in water, coffee grounds and plugged it in. Within half the time of the previous model, this one had coffee hot and ready when dinner was done!I also have to mention I like the overall design of this one. It’s a bit shorter and the handle to pour out coffee is very sturdy and good quality. I have no doubt this one will last a long time!

Works great. As an urn for parties, or for Shabbat for Jewish observers
This is a great urn – easy to use, doesn’t take up a lot of space, warms up fast. Can be used for Shabbat if you are an observant Jew. (They use one of these at the Chabad house near us).

Solid FOUR stars
I’ve used my 45-cup coffee urn twice before writing this review – once for a wedding reception and again at Thanksgiving.The first use I filled it to make 45-cups, used a round filter spread out in the basket to keep coffee grounds from escaping. I plugged in the pot (an *on/off* switch would be fabulous, but no) about 45 minutes before everyone arrived, the pot took about 20 mins to percolate the full capacity. The coffee in the glass tube looked like “weak tea” so I removed the lid to look inside.Because the coffee basket sits low (at the 35-cup mark) the coffee grounds were overflowing but steeping – not draining from the basket. So….. I grabbed my 12-cup coffee pot from the kitchen and dispensed coffee from the urn then turned on my kitchen coffee maker to “keep warm”, removed the coffee basket (yeah, burned my fingers) after it had drained, poured the other coffee pot back into the urn. Tah-Dah!Lessons learned – only make 35-cups or start early, pour off and replace the coffee to drain the basket, you still get coffee grounds in the bottom, and you can’t get any more coffee to dispense when it gets below the 15-cup mark so you really only get 30-cups and you waste btwn 10 and 15 cups of coffee.We had the coffee urn on for 5 hours and it still tasted good – maybe because the lid locks on and seals well instead of “cooking away” the coffee?Thanksgiving I only made 30-cups, again using a filter (the basket drained, no grounds in the bottom!) and it was perfect (except for the last 12 cups you can’t dispense so it’s really just less than 20-cups of coffee).Pretty easy to clean if you have a deep kitchen sink with a sprayer (I do). I did run a lot of hot water through the dispenser to rinse coffee out of the glass tube.Overall my complaints are minimal and the coffee maker does the job quickly. I’ve figured out a “work around” when I need full capacity ðNext time around though, I’ll spend the money for the 100-cup coffee urn.

The Coffee Savior for Parties
I recently used the Hamilton Beach 40521 Coffee Urn and Hot Beverage Dispenser for a birthday party, and I have to say, it was a total game changer.Normally, I dread the idea of being the designated coffee pourer at events. But with this coffee urn, I was able to simply set it up and let my guests serve themselves. It saved me a ton of headache and allowed me to enjoy the party without constantly having to walk around with a pot of coffee in hand.The dispenser is easy to use and can hold up to 40 cups of coffee, which is perfect for larger gatherings. And it keeps the coffee hot and fresh throughout the entire event, so your guests can enjoy a delicious cup of joe whenever they please.Not only is it convenient and easy to use, but it also looks great on any table or countertop. The sleek stainless steel design is modern and stylish, and it’s sure to impress your guests.Overall, I highly recommend this coffee urn for anyone who loves to entertain. It’s a total lifesaver and will save you from the dreaded coffee pourer duty. Trust me, your guests will thank you for it. Five stars all the way!

We bought this a gift for my husbandâs parents who enjoy hosting family dinners. It has been used twice so far and seems to be working well. Sure has made things easier and freed up time not having to brew a couple pots of coffee to serve with dessert as the family is only growing! They start it brewing just before people sit down for dinner and it is ready to serve in time for dessert! Would recommend for those who host family dinners or just simply like to host bigger get togethersð
