Amazon.com Review
Standing handsomely on its pedestal base, this big coffeemaker is ideal for a buffet line, office, or any other situation where a lot of people drink a lot of coffee. It percolates up to 55 cups at a cup-a-minute rate and then automatically switches to keep-warm, serving-temperature mode. That's when the light goes on. And that's when the spigot shows off its no-drip capacity, perfect for spotless cup-and-saucer use. The urn is all stainless steel--for beauty and easy cleanup--except for a stay-cool base that won't harm any surface and stay-cool handles that make it simple and safe to move the urn from place to place. The urn's cover locks in place to prevent accidental spills. --Fred Brack

Make sure it's "made in the USA"
We used this item about six times. It worked perfectly and was a beautiful addition to the buffet. The seventh time we plugged it in, nothing happened. We checked outlets, wiring etc, but it simply did not work. We contacted the Farberware Company by email and heard nothing. We contacted them again and received an email back saying call our 800 number. We called the 800 number three times and were on hold for over 10 minutes. We called the store from which we purchased it and they gave us another number. We called that number and the Farberware representative told us " If you have the original sales receipt and if the warrantly is still good we'll send you another one." We did not have the sales receipt. Then we called a local small appliance repair company who said "if it's made in the USA, we can repair it, if it's made in China, throw it away." Ours was made in China. We figure each pot of coffee we made with this pot cost $15 plus the cost of the coffee. We won't buy another one.
A Family Necessity
This Farberware Urn is a must for family gatherings. My mother has had the smaller version for several years and she just loves it! If I receive the 55 C in my bridal registry, we'll have one for decafe and one for regular coffee! I have even borrowed my mothers to warm apple cider- what a treat in the fall!
Farberware Urn
I just came across this urn,the reason being I'm shopping for its replacment. This urn doesn't percolate thoroughly or saturate the basket. It brews weak due to this defect. I have checked water and grind ratios. I also agree that it doesn't keep it hot enough. Thanks for the input, I will not waste time by calling for service and I will not purchase this brand personally.
I am considering a BUN for both brew time and heat and serving it in 2 stainless airpots..
