Hamilton Beach 40515 42-Cup Coffee Urn, Silver

Q: What type of filter does this use? I can't find any that will fit it.

This Hamilton Beach coffee maker does not normally use a filter. It is a percolator, not a drip machine, and the metal basket into which the coffee grounds are put serves as the filter as the hot water comes up through the center tube and percs out over the grounds, dripping back into the water supply, gradually attaining the flavor you are looking for as it leaches through the fresh grounds. I have heard of paper filters being modified to use in coffee makers such as this, but personally, I think it is a waste of time, energy and resources to do so. Incidentally, this HB unit is an outstanding, durable, long-life unit which also works well for heating water for tea, hot chocolate, or instant coffee, as well as being a great unit for heating apple cider during the hot cider season. (Don't forget to drop a couple of fresh cloves cloves into your pot of cider for a delightfully delicious and aromatic holiday time beverage.

Q: Will this urn brew speciality and/or estate coffee well? No M/H or Folgers garbage for me... I am a coffee snob.

I brew starbucks and dunkin donuts coffees in it after I grind them without a problem. Had to adjust the amount used, first pot could walk on its own.

Q: What size filters does it take??

3/20/21 Seller has changed this listing. Description/questions/answers don't match the current product. The urn I received (45 cup single spout) has a PLASTIC BASKET that DEFINITELY NEEDS A FILTER for standard automatic drip coffee. There's no mesh in the basket - grounds go right through. If you grind your own, then you can adjust to suitable coarseness.

Q: can you travel with this? i.e. - could i make a pot of coffee in it at home then transport it to my event? any other products work better for that?

I have done catering events where you either have a personal hot drink dispenser already full. Or you show up prior to the event/guest arrival and start the coffee there in the urn as long long as you can plug it in. Depending on the amount of people this may not make enough coffee if you can't plug it in.
