Filter coffee machine QUEEN 1103184

A serving thermos maintains hot liquids at serving temperature without reheating, using a double-walled vacuum construction that traps heat inside. The inner and outer walls are sealed under vacuum, so heat cannot escape by conduction or convection. This method keeps contents hot for hours, allowing staff to serve directly from the unit without returning to the stove or bain-marie.

The operator fills the thermos through the top opening, then closes the lid to create the vacuum seal. When a portion is needed, the pump lever is pressed to dispense the liquid through the spout. The pump mechanism draws from the bottom of the container, ensuring the oldest liquid is served first and reducing waste. No electricity or external heat source is required once the thermos is filled.

The body is made of stainless steel, chosen for durability and resistance to corrosion. The pump assembly is also stainless steel, with a silicone seal that withstands repeated use and high temperatures. The lid locks securely to prevent spills during transport or when the unit is tilted.

The 2.2 litre capacity allows the thermos to hold enough liquid for a service period without frequent refilling. The footprint of 160 mm by 200 mm fits on a standard worktop or counter, while the 412 mm height clears most shelving and overhead cupboards. The compact shape also makes the unit easy to store when not in use.

Cleaning involves disassembling the pump and lid for washing. The stainless steel surfaces can be wiped or scrubbed, and the silicone seal is removable for thorough cleaning. Regular maintenance ensures the pump remains free of residue and the vacuum seal is not compromised.

The thermos is designed for front-of-house service, where hot liquids are dispensed directly to customers or onto plates. It is commonly used for soups, sauces, gravies, and hot beverages in cafés, canteens, and buffet settings.
