SYBO SR-CP-50B Commercial Grade Stainless Steel Percolate Coffee Maker Hot Water Urn for Catering, 50-Cup 8 L, Metallic

I bought this as I was hosting a family reunion and not only was this so much easier to use, but it makes a lot of coffee. Rather than constantly making coffee with my small carafe, this made more than enough for everyone who wanted coffee. Luckily, there was just enough inside of this that there wasn't much leftover after everyone left. The next morning for breakfast, we did have to make coffee from this twice but again, it was so easy to use and made it a lot faster. The container holds a lot of coffee and even so, this thing is so easy to clean. When its full, this does have some weight to it but when its practically empty, its really not that heavy. Makes a great cup of coffee and when it comes to dispensing, after everyone is done, nothing leaks out, ever. For big and small family functions or parties, this thing has really come in handy.

I love this stainless steel coffee maker pot that can brew 30 cups of coffee easily and keeps them hot until turned off. It's also very simple and easy to use the built-in spigot for quick and spill-free dispensing of coffee. I use it to brew the coffee in the morning for the workers that are working on my house renovation and they can come back to get more hot coffee anytime of the day. It's also great way to keep hot water during the winter for any tea lovers or even for instant cup noodles so you don't have to boil the water. This commercial grade material and parts will stand the time and many uses. The size and capacity is just right without being too big yet providing ample amount of hot water or coffee. Great value for its size and quality. Highly recommend it!

I got this for my family's new kitchen which is currently in construction. We plan to have at least 2 extended family members move in sometime this yar and they, along with my parents, love a cup or 3 of warm tea / coffee in the morning and throughout the day. This is going to be ideal during the coming Autumn / Winter months when hot drinks are going to be in demand the most! The setup is simple and the interior is exceptionally easy to clean. This holds a tremendous amount of liquid and the built in filter makes brewing large batches of coffee so simple. Plus, even without the heating function, you can use this for cold drinks as well, just be sure to unplug he unit. There is no thermal lining, though, so ice will be a must, preferably added directly to your cups from a cooler or ice bag. I really do like how simple this is to use and maintain. Plus, the design is just the right size for travel and bring to outdoor functions to keep large gatherings satisfied.

The first one I received dripped from the spigot. It was a very slow drip but I could not see keeping it. I sent it back and ordered another the same. Much better. No drips. however it is quite noisy and it reperks when heating up again after sitting awhile. Makes good coffee and overall I am happy.

I had the previous model in the kitchen at my Bed and Breakfast for 3 years and had to replace it because it started leaking. In fairness, it's almost always on, so it gets a lot of use. I use it exclusively for hot water (for tea, ramen, cocoa, cooking, cleaning, etc).Anyway, I went to my orders to find it and re-order and the new one arrived yesterday.1.) the filter will splash water back out at you now. It's shallower and the mesh is finer, so you have to pour water in slower. Tiring when you're holding up a full pitcher, and it slows me down significantly.2.) On the subject of slowing me down, the water level window is also a loser. It takes a little time to even begin to react to new water added (and I'm not even sure how they accomplished this defiance of the physics of water levels). If I'm not SLOW and CAREFUL I'll accidentally overfill it because the water level in the window takes like 20 seconds to accurately reflect the water level in the tank. Again, not ideal for a busy kitchen.3.) The lid is now flimsier and the connection is tighter, so it's more difficult to get into place and less likely to survive any accidents in the processI am NOT impressed by the re-design. This item is no longer for a busy kitchen. It's maybe for a hobbyist who doesn't need it very often. It's definitely not the workhorse the old one was. I'll be looking for something else immediately and I'm bummed I lost money on this and still have to use it until I can afford another one.CERTAINLY not for catering or larger commercial applications.

I often use this coffee urn for large events at our job. It is easy to clean and use. Just make sure you hear the stem click at the bottom of the brewer to know it is properly installed (dont force it). Only thing I wish is that there were more detailed instructions included (ex: brew time, should you leave the urn on after its done brewing, coffee ground measurements based on # of cups), but at the same time, I understand how more details can confuse folks. I don't believe too much detail was on the manual but I could be wrong. All things considered, it was easy to figure out how to use. It is great value for your money, and everyone says the coffee tastes well prepared. Better than purchasing box of joe or other catered coffee if you host events often. It fulfills our needs nicely.Also their email support is very helpful and answers swiftly to requests. Very pleased with this!
