BUNN 3.8 Liter Lever-Action Airpot, Stainless Steel, 36725.0000

For many years, we've had a slew of Bunn airports. Just a word of caution: DO NOT pour coffee directly into the airpot without using a funnel, as the plastic around the top of the airpot is not heat resistant, and cracks will form that radiate outward from the center. preparing the meal- grade gasket is ineffective and leaks heat. Also, once this happens, some coffee will collect between the outer wall and the vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-sealed vacuum-s thermos with a lid When you go to pour coffee or tip it to clean it, you'll notice a nasty sludge of coffee that has built up on the sidewalls of your airpot. To avoid this, we use a food funnel. However, over time, a crack will appear, and every time the carafe is carried and sloshed, the sidewall will collect a small amount of coffee, as well as water from cleaning and rinsing, forming a nice little "pool. " " Getting the top off and cleaning it out is a pain. If you're unsure if you're leaking, tilt your empty carafe beyond 90 degrees, roll it, or tip it to see if a brown sludge emerges. br>br>Now, let's move on to another topic. Given that we live off the grid and rely solely on solar power, we only use a percolator. We used to do the same thing with the number three. 0 (as opposed to the current 3. ) On sweltering days, we bring a large pot of hot coffee to our ice fishing shack. I mean, if the airport was tilted due to snow drifts during transportation, the coffee would freeze down the sides during the many predawn hours with temperatures - 20 to - Windchills are much colder than 30 degrees Fahrenheit. So, we went through an airport that had some major dings and drops, and I worked on them, swapped parts, and the pumps in them failed due to temperature cracking, but the vacuum never failed. In any case, the pumps produce excellent fire-starting bellows. With a three-year average life span, I was always able to take two bad ones and get one working. ROUGH ABUSE has been a part of my life for a long time. br>br>In terms of number three, To support our percolator, we bought the liter version last. Our off- In the winter, life on the grid is a lot less exciting. We've only used this percolator for maybe 2 years or residential and countertop use before POOF early last summer due to various reasons. After an hour or so, the coffee was only slightly warm. The vacuum had developed a problem. After 10 minutes, the metal on the outside wall was hot to the touch, and the coffee wasn't much better than it had been in the percolator. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Plus, I believe that if the container is completely full rather than half-full, the coffee will stay hotter longer. br>br>I bought the biggest one I could find, figuring that I wouldn't need to fill it up very often, but that I might need it on occasion. Not realizing that to force liquid up the down tube, compressed air must be pumped into the tank. PUMP TEST: br>br> br>I use 3 pumps to draw my first 8 oz cup. It takes me 4 to 5 pumps to fill the same size cup when the Airpot is 20% full. The Airpot's efficiency decreases as the coffee temperature drops. However, it will miraculously push almost all of the coffee out. If you find yourself pumping excessively, see the "Problems Solved" section below. br>br>After a few uses, I did a test in which I only half-filled the Airpot and the coffee started flowing when I pushed down on the lever. It took me aback. Even though it wasn't gushing out like when it's full, it worked on the first pump, even though it was only halfway full. The pump is extremely efficient, and it's about as good as it gets. TEMPERATURE TEST: br>br> br>I measured the temperature after filling the Airpot with 128 oz of coffee. br>Begin at 170 degrees F. br>After 1 hour: 163°F (no coffee pumped out, but still full)br>2 hours later: 163°F (no coffee pumped out, but still full)br> 6 hours later, at 156 degrees: -br>-br>-br>-br>-br>-br>-br>-b PARTS: PARTS: PARTS: PARTS: PARTS: PARTS br>Use a search engine to look for "coffeemakerbunn" or type it in as a website name to find Bunn's website for parts. Amazon does not allow you to mention specific websites in your reviews. br>Order replacement parts for your airpot from this page. The entire lid assembly, including the pump and baffle, can be replaced. Alternatively, you can replace the downspout spout assembly. br>To find the parts you require, simply use the "search box. " The website is a little out of date and difficult to navigate. For example, I was unable to locate a page dedicated solely to Airpot Replacement Parts. You can, however, find airpot lids and airpot parts if you search for them. Use the search field to find something.
- br>SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS: br>The initial issue has been resolved: This is my first airpot, and I was disappointed that filling a 10 oz coffee cup took 10 to 12 pumps. I was about to return it when I noticed that the straw or down tube inside the spout assembly wasn't quite tight enough. My airpot suddenly filled a cup in only three pumps when I exerted a lot of force and really pushed it up in there! br>br>So, if you're having to pump a lot, tighten up the down tube and spout tube in the spout assembly. The black plastic spout tube from which the coffee is dispensed has a tiny notch cut into it so that when you place it on the spout assembly, the spout is properly aligned. The second issue is: br>br> System of Metrics! This is a ONE GALLON POT, after all! The third issue is that 8L equals one gallon. br>br> To clean the 10 inch tall stainless down tube, you'll need to buy a special cleaning brush. On Amazon, you can purchase them. Water bottle brushes is a common name for them. They're long, narrow brushes for cleaning things like this. I didn't realize I'd need one when I ordered this, so it was a good deal.
- br>br>CONCLUSIONbr>In terms of size, I've noticed that many churches now use two small airpots instead of one large one. This allows you to use decaf or different flavors, as well as solves the problem of the airpot working best when it's completely full. If I could do it all over again, I would choose the two small airpots over the single large one!.

After receiving it, we were very eager to put it to use. We used it twice in the last few days, both with boiling water, but to our surprise, it only kept the water warm for about 3 hours before it became cold. Our camping group had a few more water flasks of various brands, which we all filled at the same time, but the other brands kept the water very hot for at least 8 hours. We are extremely dissatisfied with the outcome and would not recommend it to others. I have a two-letter Zojirushi that is excellent but far too small for our needs. I'd give a zero-star rating if I could because I'm extremely dissatisfied:.
