The Better Chef IM-155 is a 50-cup stainless steel coffee urn for the events a kitchen coffee maker cannot cover: church socials, office meetings, family reunions, and open houses. Fill it anywhere from 10 to 50 cups, plug it in, and it percolates a full batch of coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or plain hot water that guests draw from the spigot themselves.

Key Features

  • Brews 10 to 50 cups: Scale the batch to the crowd. A staff meeting gets 10 cups; a reception gets the full 50 without a second pot.
  • Stainless inside and out: The urn body and the interior are stainless steel, so there is no coated liner to chip and no plastic taste in the coffee.
  • Non-drip spigot: The push spigot shuts off cleanly, keeping the serving table dry instead of ringed with coffee.
  • Twist-to-lock cover: The cover locks with a twist, so it stays on while the urn is carried to the table or bumped during service.
  • Removable brew basket: Lift the basket out to load grounds and to rinse it after the event. No fishing around inside a hot urn.
  • Removable cord: The cord unplugs from the urn for storage and for a cleaner look on the serving table once brewing is done.
  • More than coffee: Fill it with water for tea service, cocoa, or instant oatmeal at a breakfast meeting.

What's Included

In the box: one Better Chef IM-155 50-cup stainless steel coffee urn with its twist-to-lock cover, one removable brew basket, one percolator stem tube, and one removable power cord.

Before You Buy

  • This is a 50-cup percolator urn for crowds, not a 12-cup drip machine with a carafe. It brews by percolation and serves from a spigot. If you want a morning pot for two, a countertop drip coffee maker is the right tool.
  • The minimum brew is 10 cups, so it cannot make a small pot. Plan it for gatherings and meetings where at least 10 cups will be poured.
  • It stands 18.8 in tall, so check the space under your cabinets. Most upper cabinets sit 18 in above the counter, so brew it on an open counter, an island, or the serving table itself.

Perfect For

  • Church fellowship halls and community meetings that pour dozens of cups
  • Office breakfasts, trainings, and all-day conferences
  • Family reunions, showers, and holiday open houses
  • Hot cocoa stations at winter parties and school events
  • Tea and hot water service at brunches and receptions
  • Concession stands and fundraisers that sell coffee by the cup

Care & Use

  • Fill with cold water to the cup marking you need, never below the 10-cup line.
  • Load ground coffee in the basket, seat the stem tube, and twist the cover on until it locks before plugging in.
  • Unplug and let the urn cool before emptying and cleaning.
  • Hand wash the urn, basket, and stem with warm soapy water; never submerge the base or the cord.
  • Descale with a vinegar and water cycle every few months if you have hard water.
  • California Proposition 65 warning: this product can expose you to lead, see p65warnings.ca.gov.

Why event hosts reach for this urn

One batch covers the room

A 50-cup brew serves a meeting, a reception, or a Sunday social without anyone refilling a carafe. Set it up before guests arrive and the coffee is ready when they are.

Guests pour their own

The non-drip spigot means people help themselves and the table stays dry. You are free to greet guests instead of standing behind a coffee station pouring cups.

Stainless that cleans up fast

The stainless body wipes clean, the brew basket and stem lift out for a rinse, and the removable cord makes it easy to pack away until the next event.

The numbers that matter

How does it compare to a drip coffee maker or a thermal airpot?

vs. a 12-cup drip coffee maker

A drip machine makes one pot at a time and needs someone to keep refilling it. This urn brews up to 50 cups in one go and serves from a spigot.

vs. a thermal airpot

An airpot only holds coffee brewed elsewhere. This urn brews the coffee itself, so you do not need a second machine to fill it.

vs. a 30-cup urn

A 30-cup urn runs out at a larger event. The 50-cup capacity covers a full hall, and it still brews as little as 10 cups for a small meeting.

  • At 18.8 in tall it is too tall to brew under a standard 18 in upper cabinet; use an island, an open counter, or the serving table.
  • The 9.7 in round base takes about the same table space as a dinner plate, so it fits beside cups and creamer on a 6 ft table.
  • Set it near the edge of the table with the spigot facing out so guests can fit a cup underneath.

FAQs

Common questions that customers ask

How many people does a 50-cup coffee urn serve?

About 40 to 50 people at one cup each. Plan on fewer if guests linger and go back for seconds, or brew a second batch mid-event.

Can the Better Chef coffee urn brew less than 50 cups?

Yes. It brews anywhere from 10 to 50 cups. Fill the water to the level you need, and never brew below the 10-cup minimum.

Can you brew tea or hot water in this coffee urn?

Yes. Run it with plain water for tea service, hot cocoa, or instant oatmeal, and leave the brew basket empty.

Is this a drip coffee maker with a carafe?

No. It is a percolator-style urn that brews in the body and dispenses through a spigot. There is no glass carafe.

How fast does it ship?

We ship to the 48 contiguous states and process orders within 2 business days, with tracking sent as soon as it leaves the warehouse.
