coffee urn

Large brew container

A coffee urn is a large container with a spigot at the bottom, used to brew and serve coffee to groups.

Unlike a carafe, which simply holds coffee, an urn typically has a heating element to keep coffee hot for extended periods.

Common at conferences, church gatherings, and office events: She filled her cup from the coffee urn in the break room.
