A coffee urn is nothing but a large coffee maker, that helps in making large batches of coffee to serve during banquets or party settings. This is the best option, when one has to serve a great deal of coffee, but does not have time to make and remake several pots of coffee. Coffee urn keeps the coffee warm, but does not burn it, so using this, coffee can be made several hours before an event.
One can find different sized coffee urns in the market. Simple ones can brew about 10-20 cups of coffee easily, while the larger coffee urns, can make up to 100 cups.
