Hamilton Beach Coffee Urn

No, you do not need paper filters. This unit comes with a permanent, dishwasher-safe filter basket, which is both convenient and eco-friendly.

No, this model does not feature an automatic shut-off. It is designed with dual heaters to maintain the coffee at an optimal serving temperature until you manually turn it off.

The dispenser is designed for easy, single-handed operation. You simply press your cup against the lever, and the coffee flows, making it easy to serve guests quickly without needing a second hand.

While the unit features comfort-grip, heat-resistant handles for safe transport, the stainless steel exterior will get hot during the brewing process. Always use the handles when moving the urn.

There is an illuminated ready light on the front of the unit. Once the light turns on, your coffee has finished brewing and is at the proper temperature for serving.

While this urn is specifically designed for brewing coffee, you can use it to heat water. However, be aware that if you have previously brewed coffee in it, the urn may retain some coffee oils and flavor, which could affect the taste of your tea or cocoa.
