I guess.

It's the smaller Eurolux. Silver and black. I paid double for it because I wanted a smaller one, and not white.

It does the job.

Zojirushi. An earlier version of this one:

I generally only use it on Shabbat and holidays, and its been going strong for about 10 years now, maybe a little longer.

How hot is the water? My dh likes coffee scalding hot. Is it drinkable straight from the urn, or must one wait a bit?

I had a similar one and after a year the pump stopped working and though the water was nice and hot we simply couldn't get it out. Have you ever had this problem with yours?

we have a magic mill. I bought this one because it was the largest one that didnt require tvila that they had in the local store.
I like it. it keeps the water hot and has a nice automatic feature so you dont have to pump the water, but also a shabbos setting that disables the auto dispense.

Right now we have a GE coffee urn. we've had it a little over a year. Sometimes it leaks. And one of the handles fell off last night. Sad

Before that we had a pricey Magic Mill pump pot. It failed after a year. Sad

And before that we had a cheap no-name pump pot that lasted at least 6 years.

It claims to be 208 degrees, which is quite hot.

Nope. No problem. But you can try to contact Zojirushi. They sell replacement parts; you could probably replace the pump,

The pump pots get very close to boiling. The coffee urns are not nearly as hot.

I have the standard metal (stainless steel) Israeli style urn, I think about 15litre capacity which is good as we are very much into hot drinks after the meals as well as in the mornings. It does its job, heats up ok, keeps it warm. Though they do have rather short life (our last one went kaput after 3-4yrs), and I *HATE* having to use descaler to get rid of limescale. I do see pump-style jars(?) thermos(?) but not enough capacity for us.
