West Bend 58002 Commercial-Grade Coffee Urn with High-Polish Aluminum Finish

Karina Coello: Compré dos para mi oficina porque utilizamos este tipo de cafeteras para cuando hay eventos grandes y las dos no sellaba la tapa bien y al momento de poner el café se tiraba por la tapa.

Skyla: This looked great, came quick and was wrapped well. However, I needed it for a mixed kids/adults event. I put water in it to test it prior to the event and not only was the outside as hot as the water (which was very hot- that is a plus), but it kept bubbling water up out of the top. Also, the light did not work so I just had to keep testing water to see when it was ready.

If you have adults only, want an inexpensive urn and can keep it in a safe place, then it definitely gets hot. I just could not take the chance of a kid touching it.

MCB: I bought this urn for a church function of 50 people. I was very pleased. It made 55 cups of coffee in 55 minutes (that’s 1minute/cup) and it kept it hot for 6 hours. You do not need a coffee filter, but I used a regular coffee filter by cutting a small hole in the center and this made it much easier to empty the grounds when we were finished. So far, it was a great purchase! Btw, I didn’t find it all that noisy.

Mixed Desmid: Coffee urns are almost all the same. Some look better, some not so much. I would put the west bend’s looks on the more drab side, but the polished aluminum is ok. It’s industrial but easily recognized by anyone in the room as the dispenser of sweet caffeine in a meeting environment.

What I like about this unit is the capacity, the valve mechanism and the quality of the coffee (if you get the right coffee). The capacity was just the right amount for a brunch with 20 people, not all coffee drinkers. I ended up making a second pot for late coffee drinkers. The dispensing valve is a simple toggle, not a “cup push the valve open” version. I think that a simple toggle valve is far superior even though it can require two hands if you hold the cup versus place it on the surface. People can get confused by the “use the cup to push the valve” versions, and the mechanism can collapse foam and paper cups when you press against the mechanism, very messy. Finally, I use Costco Columbia’s coffee, preground, in this machine and it tastes great. Note that I don’t like this coffee in my drip machine, only in this percolator. I think Folgers would also be good, but recommend...

D. Schwartz: I am pretty particular about coffee. I like to gind my own beans and have never used a perc coffee pot in the past. But we were having a huge family gathering and I needed a lot of coffee.

I ordered this Party Perk machine and when it came in I almost returned it because it seemed so flimsy, but I figured I'd give it a chance.

I'm glad I did. All the information I read on the Internet about coffee said that perc'd coffee is not very good because the water is boiled and constantly recirculated through the grounds and this does not equate to how to achieve the best tasting coffee.

Well, while this was not the BEST coffee I have ever had, the coffee was none-the-less very good. I used Berkley and Jensen ground coffee (available at BJ's Wholesale club)and I could not have been more pleased with the results from this Party Perk. I used a little more than 2-1/2 cups of ground coffee for the full 42 cups and the information I read about expecting the pot to brew the coffee at one cup per minute seemed pretty accurate.

There were a lot of compliments on how good the coffee tasted. It did not taste burned, even after being kept warmed in the pot for a few...
