Hamilton Beach BrewStation 40 Cup Coffee Urn Model 40540R

Just what I was looking for. Shorter than the average urn, which I love!

Have only had this a short time so have only used it twice so far. So far I love it. It is easy to use and easy to clean. Used it for a family gathering and a baby shower. At both events I had comments on how good the coffee tasted and how sleek the machine looks. Coffee stayed hot without tasting burnt. I have a large family, so this will definitely be our "go to" coffee pot for all of our gatherings. Thank you Hamilton Beach. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I have never had a better experience of having a brew station as the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 40 Cup Coffee Urn. I have had the pleasure of trying to brew from 10 to 40 cups of coffee and what surprise me was the quality and taste was the same as brewing 10 or 40 cups. Great for parties, get togethers or just for your own enjoyment. The other thing I enjoyed was that you did not have to hold anything down to get the coffee, just put your cup where the spout is, press and enjoy your coffee, the red light will tell you when it is done. Easy to clean and stored. You can, if you like, use a filter or not. it depends on the coffee grounds you buy. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is very easy to assemble and clean, also the instructions were easy to follow. Love the recessed spout so it is not accidently left in the open position. Great for not only coffee but hot water for tea, hot cocoa, instant soup etc. Keeps the water or coffee very hot. Great for crowds! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Compact in size for 40 cup coffee/tea maker, it is simple and easy to use and brew. Compared to the normal size of 4 feet or 48 inches, this Hamilton Beach Brewstation Urn stands only 15" high. Compact size means it fits into small apartments where space is at a premium. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Easy to clean & easy set up. I made 20 cups & used 1 3/4 cups coffee & found it to be very strong so next time I will use less. Did take 20 min to finish like book said. Coffee was hot & stayed hot for 2 hours after it was made, & the cup fit perfect & it was easy to get the coffee into my cup. I would use this for family gatherings. The only dilehmia was it was not made out of stainless steel for me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Finally I have been able to use my 40 cup coffee brewer. It was wonderful to be able to fill a cup with just one hand. The coffee also stayed hot to everyones amazement. This is a great plus for large groups. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I tried out my BrewStation 40 Cup Coffee Urn at a small gathering. It works well, and it's beautiful to look at. I think it would be great if it had a longer cord, as power strips are not always available. This is important, especially since it's the type of appliance that I'll use for parties. There is no actual on/off button, just plug in. Overall, I like it enough to create occasions to use it again. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Reviewing BrewStation 40540R. Has a locking lid- be sure to secure prior to brewing. Electric cord approximately 24 inches long, made to use with percolator coffee for best results, but I emptied K-pods with good results and no granules in coffe. Begins brewing when plugged in, took about 15 minutes to finish, ready light shows when done. Coffee cup easily presses handle to fill cup, urn switches to keep warm when brewing done. Silver part of urn is hot to touch- keep away from little hands! Remained fresh for hours after brewing. Will be great item for group meetings and family gatherings.

I decided to test this coffee urn on my son's firefighter class of 20 students at his training academy. Firefighters drink a lot of coffee so I thougth this would be a good product test. Out of the box, this coffee urn was easy to set up and use. It made a good tasting urn full of coffee without any grounds making their way through the basket. But I did use a paper filter which the directions said wasn't necessary if you use coarse ground coffee. My coffee grind was what I would consider normal. The urn has a light that comes on to tell you the coffee has finished brewing. The recommended maximum time to leave the urn on is 1 hour. The coffee in the urn stayed hot for the 1 hour that I left the urn plugged in. There are two things to note regarding this coffee urn. One, there is not an on/off button. You just plug it into your electrical outlet to start it/turn it on and unplug it to turn it off. It would be nice to have an on/off button. And two, the appliance cord is really short so plan to place the urn near an electrical outlet. Overall, the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 40 Cup Coffee Urn is sleek, functional, and keeps coffee hot for a large group of people. If it can keep a group of coffee loving firefighters happy, it's a great product! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
