BUNN 2.5 Liter Lever-Action Airpot, Stainless Steel, 32125.0000

I'm picky about coffee; I want it to remain as hot as when I first poured it, or as nearly so as possible. This mighty stainless steel pot is the one I've been searching for. First, the size. Read it carefully, as the dimensions are stated clearly. It's a BIG pot and will hold a huge amount of coffee, enough to supply a couple of serious coffee drinkers through the day and possibly the night as well. However, if you make a small pot of coffee, it will function just as well and keep it just as hot. Workmanship: I wish everything was made half as well as this pot, with its stainless steel exterior and interior. You may have noticed that items made of stainless steel vary greatly in quality of the metal, with some of them seeming more like tin than stainless steel. This is excellent quality metal, beautifully finished and handsome. The stainless steel interior works better than glass for retaining heat, and is much less fragile. There are inevitably some plastic parts (those that couldn't be made of metal for functional reasons), but they're substantial, look nice, and feel as if they'll last forever. Ease of use: For a simple device, it's surprising how many things go wrong with lesser versions of the airpot. The Bunn dispenses smoothly, provides a whole cup without being pressed a second time, doesn't drip, splash or leak, and has worked perfectly for us with frequent use. I note others have said you should close the pump lid in order to keep the coffee hot. We haven't done this, and haven't needed to, but I'd give it a try if I were going to be using the airpot in a place that was less warm than the kitchen of my home. Cleaning: There are varying opinions to be found here as to the ease/difficulty of cleaning the airpot. It cannot be put in the dishwasher (please don't try!) and is a bit awkward to handle because the top comes open on a hinge and can't be removed. This isn't a design flaw, but is simply the only way to make an airpot. I wouldn't say it's exactly easy to clean due to the awkwardness of handling it with the lid open, and inability to reach inside with anything except a bottle brush. It must then be repeatedly rinsed, turning the pot upside down to get water and suds out (more difficult in practice than it sounds). If you're the type of person who puts everything in the dishwasher and would find it onerous to clean something like an electric percolator, you might not be too happy. Personally, I'm more than willing to take the five minutes or so that's required to clean this pot in exchange for a whole day and most of an evening of instantly available VERY HOT coffee. Additional: the pot has a substantial carrying handle, which we've used to move it around the house without incident or leakage. It's handsome in the way of very well made things, and we've enjoyed it so much that we were inspired to make it the centerpiece of a little coffee station that has become a favored spot in our house.

Compact size, keeps coffee nice and hot, pumps with ease.

This thermos coffee dispenser is identical to our previous 13 year old Bunn. So obviously durable given 13 years for same product. Easy to pump and clean, never leaked, so a sturdy good product for the money. Looking forward to another 13 years! Keeps coffee warm all morning! Capacity is large enough to supply morning coffee easily for four adults.

Keeps coffee hot and perfect size. Not too big and doesn’t take up a ton of counter space.

so far it has been great. No problems with the pump and it keeps stuff hot for a reasonable time and is of good quality. Its quick and easy to clean. We like it very much. My wife thinks it could be prettier but being a guy I'm not sure what that means. After almost 4 years I bought a replacement pump and also a new straw. The old pump was getting so it didn't pump very fast anymore. The new pump fills a cup in two pumps while the old one was taking 5-6 or more. Also, the new straw seems to flow more fluid. I'm not sure why. I clean the straw with a long narrow brush but its not possible to access all of the interior of the straw because it has two 90 degree bends. It would be better if the straw could be disassembled for cleaning. I bought both because Amazon had a cheap deal on the straw. If not for that deal on the straw it would be cheaper to buy a whole new airpot since the cost of a new pump plus a new straw at regular price is more than a new airpot

Solid construction and well designed to be able to take off the top for cleaning. I've been very pleased with it. The length of time it keeps a beverage hot depends, amongst other factors, on how full it is. Filled with hot coffee in the morning, it will still have hot coffee by afternoon. The style of operation is quite nice in that it minimizes the contact a person has with the pot, and you can easily have a napkin or such if you don't want to touch the handle directly (in consideration of the squeemishness exhibited in the modern pandemic era). The handle is cast metal. The fluid chamber is entirely stainless steel, as is the suction tube. The discharge portion, which only has fluid contact as it is pouring out, is plastic.

I am extremely disappointed – the inside of my airpot turned black despite every cleaning method. I purchased the BUNN 2.5 Liter Lever-Action Airpot (Stainless Steel) under 2 months ago expecting the quality that BUNN is known for, but this product has been a major letdown. After only a short period of normal use, the entire interior of the airpot has become discolored and black, making it look dirty and unsanitary no matter what I do. I’ve gone through multiple thorough cleaning attempts—rinsing with hot water, soaking with baking soda, trying a vinegar solution, and even using a specialized thermal carafe cleaner—yet the black discoloration remains. I also scrubbed the inside with a long-handled brush and carefully cleaned the lid and seals. Nothing works. For a stainless steel airpot at this price, I expected durability and easy maintenance. Instead, I’m left with a product that looks unsafe to drink from and impossible to restore, even after following every recommended troubleshooting step. I would appreciate if Bunn would reach out to me and help me resolve my issue.

The Bunn Airpot is excellent at keeping hot water very hot all day. We've used one for years and decided to replace it with a new one. Great Buy.
