Coffee Urn Review
West Bend 58002 12-42 Cup Automatic Party Perk Coffee Urn
CONSUMER RATING: 9/10
WHAT DID CUSTOMERS SAY?
“This West Bend 58002 12-42 Cup Automatic Party Perk Coffee Urn is the best coffee maker that we have ever owned. The durability of the coffee maker is good and has been a great maker for us since our purchase.
When making my coffee I used about 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 was accurate. The information booklet that came with the maker was accurate and seemed to have enough information for just about anyone to be able to read it and operate your coffee urn.
I read the reviews about this maker before purchasing it and it does stand up to all the good reviews I have read. My review on this maker is a good one and I am giving it a five star rating also.”
- “I recieved a lot of compliments from guests about how good the coffee tasted. The drinks did not taste burned, even after being kept in the pot for a few hours”
- “I made coffee for the Superbowl party at 11 in the morning, to save time later. Thankfully, it still tasted yummy and fresh 10 hours later, when srving guests”
- “I have had a few West Bend urns over the past 10 years, and have never yet had a problem, despite repeated use”

Faberware FSU 236 36-Cup Coffee Urn
CONSUMER RATING: 10/10
With its durable construction of stainless steel, the Farberware FSU236 36-Cup Coffee Urn provides a brew speed of 1 cup per minute. This urn has an elegant look, making it ideal for formal entertaining. It is easy to operate; just add the appropriate amount of water, put the filter and grounds in the basket, and it will quickly brew your coffee. The Farberware urn keeps the coffee hot without the burnt odor or flavor common to many similar urns.
One concern about this model is that there is no on/off switch. This is not a major concern, but you will have to make sure to fill the urn with water before plugging it in, as well as making sure it doesn’t run dry during your party while plugged in.
Overall, however, the Farberware FSU236 is a beautiful urn that is easy to operate, easy to clean, and heats up quickly.
Product Features
* Durable stainless steel construction
* Maintains consistent brew speed: 1-cup per min.
* Ready indicator light and automatic keep warm mode
* Cool-touch base and lid knob with elegant side handles
* Non-drip spigot (spout) and 1150 watts
WHAT DID CUSTOMERS LIKE ABOUT IT?
- “I didn’t have to worry about aluminum leaching into the coffee, as has been reported about some of the coffee pots on the market”. The Faberware FSU is made entirely from stainless steel.
- the urn is easily cleaned due to it’s large diameter
- “I bought this urn for a party I hosted a few weeks ago, and was totally surprised by the quality for the price I payed”
- “It doesn’t look like a refugee from a diner, and is attractive enough to appear on anyone’s buffet table”
- “It is good at making strong, black coffee – just the way I like it”
- “Stand it next to a cheaper urn, and you’ll see why it costs more. With this urn, you get what you pay for”
- “This looks beautiful on my buffet table. More to the point, it makes great-tasting coffee, it heats up super fast, and it’s easy to clean”
Waring Pro CU55 55-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Urn

This commercially-approved coffee urn looks suitably professional, and elegant. It is beautifully crafted with a brushed stainless steel housing.

WHAT DID CUSTOMERS SAY?
- Most users complained that the urn stopped working properly after a short period of months
- Another complaint was that the urn switched randomly from “Brew Mode” to “Keep Warm”, before the drinks were ready, resulting in unsatisfactory coffee
- “I think the thermostat has gone south because the ready light comes on rather quickly, and brewing stops abruptly. Good while it lasted, wasted money in retrospect”
- “I bought 2 of these at the same time for our catering service. One burnt out within the space of a few weeks”
- “I liked the Waring stainless steel because it required less scrubbing than the aluminum West Bend product. But from now on, I will always choose West Bend performance over good looks”
