[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.] 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.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this for a family get together we were having. I loved it made the coffee very fast and kept it warm. As long as it stays plugged in it will heat the coffee. The cord is not detachable. Can use paper or basket type filter. I have a very big family so it was great. I would highly recommend it. It is very easy to use and to clean. Only con on this is that you cant forget about turning it off when done as it doesn't have auto cut off other than that its great.

[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.] We needed a larger coffee maker and when I saw the Hamilton Beach 45 cup coffee Urn I knew I had to have it !! We are a family of coffee drinkers and now we can make enough for our family of 3 and neighbors who drop in for coffee!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a Hamilton Beach FlexBrew that I use daily for making individual cups of coffee when I go to work and use the 12 cup pot for weekends, but I needed something larger when we have guests over for social events. The Fast Brew Urn 45 cup was the problem solver. I have used it twice now and it works great. I made 30 cups of coffee for the guys during one event and we brewed 45 cups of just hot water for tea for another event for my wife and her lady friends. Now we don't have to stop and brew more small pots while guest are visiting!!! We love it and some of the guest are even talking about getting one. Thanks Hamilton Beach for another great product and problem solver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This urn does brew a bit faster than other products of similar size. I recommend using a medium grind coffee as finer grinds may get through the filter. Be sure to allow enough time for coffee to brew completely. Set up the the machine first, and take care of other tasks during the inactive brewing time. This would also be ideal if you need a lot of hot water for cocoa or hot tea.

[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.] I received this to review and love it. I was going to use it on my next family gathering but with the COVID going on I couldn't use it for that. But, I did however, use it to brew my coffee for my iced coffee that I like to have. I was able to brew enough to last me a whole week and it was fast and the quality of the brew was excellent. It was so easy to set up to brew and this new Hamilton Beach Fast Brew perks in half the time as the old timer models do. I can't wait to use it on our next family gathering but in the mean time I will use it to brew my coffee for my ice coffee for the week. It was easy to clean also.
