Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Aroma ACU-040 Caffee Centro Professional Coffee Urn
Customer Review: Product Even Better Than Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed urns that would keep beverages hot for an outdoor 5 hour gathering in 30 some degree weather. Over months of searching online and in stores could only find commercial urns that cost $1000.00 or more or could rent them for a good bit of money from caterers. A week before the event the insulated Aroma ACU-040 started popping up online. The manufacturers, Aroma, do not do a good job of describing what this urn is capable of. However, being desperate for affordable urns that could be used now and for future occasions I took a gamble and bought two and it paid off handsomely.
The urns are sturdy, but light weight. Very easy to use - place basket and stem inside, coffee placed in basket (no filter needed), and plug in. That's it and in 30 minutes you have 40 cups of coffee.
Now for the interesting part that the manufacturers missed out on. The instructions would have you keeping the urn plugged in. This is easy when you have a power source, but our function was outside near no power source. Coffee was made in both urns before the event and transported to the site. We took a converter that hooked up to a car engine for a power source and kept one urn plugged in, but we also left one urn in the car receiving no power. When the urn receiving no power for 5 hours was brought out for use the coffee inside was HOT, not warm, but HOT!
Impressive points: The insultation works. If the urn remains plugged in for many hours the coffee stays fresh tasting and it's temperature is regulated. If the urn is filled with fresh brewed coffee and then sits unplugged in 30 some degree weather for 5 hours the coffee is still HOT. Also, I saved at least $900 dollars by buying two of these instead of the next cheapest insulated urn I could find.
