Farberware FSU236 Stainless-Steel 36-Cup Coffee Urn
I purchased this urn for a party I was hosting a few weeks ago. I was totaling surprised at the quality for the price I paid . It is very elegant looking and could be used for any type of function, either casual or formal. I don't like ordering on line because sometimes the item isn't want it looks like, but this wasn't the case.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reliable and Attractive; a Classic, December 24, 2006

This style of Farberware urn has been around for quite some time. I wanted one for use when my regular pot didn't hold enough. This urn will pick up right where a 12-cup home pot leaves off; don't be misled by the total capacity as it will happily make much less. Unlike the other urns I've seen, this one doesn't look like a refugee from a diner. It is attractive enough to appear on anyone's buffet table. Unlike many other urns, it is all stainless. I've been reading about aluminum leaching from aluminum pots into coffee; not a worry with this one. There is a very large domed lid, as can be seen, and the equally large coffee basket resides underneath. It works like any other percolator; fill with water to the level desired, put the appropriate amount of ground coffee in the basket, and let it do its work. Farberware has always advertised its speed, and certainly this one brews at a cup-a-minute or faster. The coffee made is typically percolator coffee--strong and black, which is the way I like it. This urn will certainly keep the coffee piping hot, but doesn't seem to leave that burned odor and flavor that so many urns do in commercial establishments. Of course, I haven't kept coffee for umpteen hours in it, either. These large urns are very easy to clean, as they are of such a large diameter.

I had a MirroMatic urn before this Farberware; I definitely got the burned odor/flavor in that one. I think it had to burn its element more and hotter because the walls of the urn were so thin and lost heat very quickly. This Farberware is much more substantial. Stand it next to a less expensive urn and you will see why it costs more. With this item, you indeed get what you pay for!

5.0 out of 5 stars Made the best coffee ever, looked great, stayed hot!, June 6, 2008

This review is from: Farberware FSU236 36-Cup Coffee Urn (Kitchen)

I purchased this coffee pot a few weeks ago for my daughter's graduation party. Not only did it look great (loved the contemporary shape rather than the old upright style), the coffee was perfect, not bitter and stayed hot for hours, not minutes. Also the stout shape made it easier to clean and fill than the traditional style. You can make as little as 12 cups in this coffee urn with no problem..the markings are clear. This is a pricier coffee urn but if you really want to make a good impression and need everything to be perfect I highly recommend this model. Also it is 100% stainless, no cheap plastic parts if this is an issue. This model also comes in a larger size if you need more than 36 cups.
