Scratch and Dent Cambro 250LCD186 Camtainer® 2.5 Gallon Navy Blue 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'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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

Does the job!! Keeps hot drinks hot!

LOVE THEM

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

Work perfect for transporting hot or cold drinks to events

i have used this for everything. its just perfect on the farm, and for a big crew. from anything to a ice cold drink on a scorching hot day- to a nice hot cup of cocoa on a cold day. Or just a plain ol' cup of Joe anytime, anywhere. a must have for a lunchroom.

These things are workhorses for our Boy Scout Troop to hold hot cocoa on campouts and hot coffee at our pancake breakfast event. We typically fill it with hot water and it holds it nice and hot for hours (4-6) until we're ready to mix up the cocoa. For our Pancake Breakfast we fill them up starting around 3 am and they are still nice and hot for our guests at 6:30 am. I'm so glad we could purchase them from Webstaurant at a great price and fast shipping!

solid product. We love how it holds things hot or cold. I highly recommend this product and get the base for it if you like things taller underneath the spout. Works fine

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

Perfect for catering

This is a good product, nothing fancy but does the job of keeping beverages cold or hot.
