Cambro 250LCD158 Camtainer® 2.5 Gallon Hot Red Insulated Beverage Dispenser

LOVE THESE> These are the answer to any catering job or donation or marketing opportunity at events. We have found third parties to help us dress them up with a custom slip cover or wrap, which really is a good idea (these get banged up pretty easy if you travel around with them, and the material tends to be pretty obvious with scratches). They hold beverages above 140 (starting around 160) for 6-8 hours, outdoors. We use the in the dead of winter and still have hot holding for 4 hours at least. I love that the spout and lid seal are easily cleanable (and replaceable if needed). The clips are replaceable too which you are bound to need after a few drops or slides in the back of a truck. I literally have 26 of these!

I use these containers at my farmers markets and catering events. I love the sleek design and how they fit into each other for easy loading and space saving with regards to service and transport. Plus, they really came in handy at home during the hurricanes; I fill these up before the storm hits and didn't have to worry about buying bottled water.

I'm very critical when it comes to the products we serve/sell. We used our new Cambro 2.5 Gallon container for 2 events this week and I'm not happy with the performance. We preheated the container with 180 degree water and within 2 hours of brewing the coffee it had cooled significantly. For today's event we were contracted to brew 8 gallons of coffee. The only other container I had available was a 5 gallon RubberMaid construction-type cooler. When we brought the service home, the Cambro's leftover coffee was cool. The Rubbermaid's was still steaming. This was after 6 hours. If I had kept the Cambro's box I'd be returning it. We've worked too hard to build our reputation to serve luke-warm coffee. I won't be purchasing this brand again in the future.

This Cambro is IDEAL for events. We use it at all the markets and conferences that we cater for. It is the perfect size for a large function and keeps product warm for hours.

Dual purpose, Keeps drinks warm or cold and can hold 4.75 gallons. Can also be used to store water and buy the additional top to turn it into a hand washing station for outdoor events and offsite festivals. Great investment for its price!

We've only used this a couple of times and are still learning tricks...like heat it up with hot water prior to use for hot beverages. Pleased with spout use though, need a drip tray underneath but haven't had any problems with dispensing. Looking forward to using it at larger events to see how well it holds up.

This product likes nice and is sturdy in construction. I was hoping it would hold temp a bit longer. I tested it out with hot water brewed out of the dispenser (like coffee) completely filled and it drops approximately 40 degrees within 4 hours. I thought it would last longer than that.

Has many good qualities (durable, stable, etc.) but standard 12oz hot cups will not fit properly under the spicket by just a couple millimeters. It seems they want you to buy the base if you plan to use the most common form of cup this setup will likely be used with. Return in process.

Does the job!! Keeps hot drinks hot!

We have several of these. They will hold hot drinks like coffee overnight and it will still be warm.

It’s a Cambro, in my opinion based on over 30 years of use, they are the best for commercial and home use. I have 2 that are over 30 yrs old and still working. The 2.5 gallon is honestly nicer then 5 gallon because of size and weight. Good price. Shipping was a few days late because of Fed Ex, not Webresturant

We love the Cambro beverage Dispenser! I just wish that they were not so expensive. We will be trying out the newly released Gator ones next time. We think that we may like them better with there type of latching system.... Catch up Cambro on the new positive changes!

These things are great. They keep our coffee hot four hours, are very easy to clean, easy to store because they stack on top of each other, and are easy to transport. They only thing to keep an eye on is the vent at the top. You need to make sure it is open when you are moving hot liquids or it will spill out the sides.

I bought two of these cambros for my coffeeshop, for use during events, markets, etc. They aren't cheap, but they work very well and are worth it to have around. Before we opened shop I used them to be a part of town events. Now I rent them out to local businesses that want our coffee for their events.

I love how this keeps coffee hot for hours. Coffee is warm the next day, but not quite warm enough to enjoy as hot coffee. I would recommend staying away from this massive size. It's very heavy when full.

LOVE THEM

Perfect. Exactly what we were looking for. Very fast delivery. Thank you!
