Bunn3.0L (102 oz) Lever-Action Airpot, SS/ Liner

The vacuum stainless liner keeps brewed coffee within serving temperature for several hours without an external heat source. This is the standard solution for catering, conference, and self-serve coffee stations.

The 3.0 litre capacity equals roughly 20 to 25 standard 5-oz cups per fill, sized for moderate-traffic service settings. The lever-action pump delivers consistent pour pressure without sloshing.

Empty after each service, rinse with hot water, and run a coffee-equipment cleaner cycle weekly to clear oil buildup from the liner walls. Skipping cleaning gives every fresh batch a stale taste from accumulated oils.

Stainless liners survive drops and bumps that shatter glass alternatives, which is critical in mobile catering. The vacuum performance is comparable, with stainless edging out for shock resistance.

Never microwave, never fill with anything over 90°C with the lid sealed shut without first venting, and always confirm the lever lock is engaged before pouring. Pressure buildup from sealed hot liquid is the most common operator hazard.

Yes, it works for hot tea, hot water for service, cocoa, and even iced beverages, since the vacuum walls insulate against both heat and cold. Use a dedicated airpot per beverage type to avoid flavour transfer, and see other beverage gear in the commercial kitchen equipment catalogue.

Pair with a commercial coffee brewer, airpot stand, and matching cups from the smallwares catalogue. For larger volume holding, see the broader commercial kitchen equipment range on Zanduco Canada.
