- How long does it keep drinks hot or cold?
- Insulated steel dispensers of this size typically hold temperature for several hours, long enough for a party or a workday. Pre-chilling or pre-heating the interior first extends that further.
- Is it good for coffee and tea as well as cold drinks?
- Yes. The stainless steel interior and insulation work for hot coffee, tea and cocoa as well as water, iced tea and lemonade. Rinse well between different beverages so flavors don't carry over.
- How many cups does 5 gallons serve?
- About 80 eight-ounce cups, or roughly 40 sixteen-ounce servings. That makes it suited to events of several dozen people before a refill is needed.
- How do I clean the spigot and interior?
- Wash the interior with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly, then run clean water through the spigot. A bottle brush helps reach the bottom, and the spigot should be flushed after each use.
- Can it be used outdoors or commercially?
- It is rated for commercial use and works at picnics, job sites and catered events. Keep it out of direct sun and off hot surfaces so the insulation isn't fighting the weather.
- Where is the 5-Gallon Insulated Beverage Cooler Water Jug Dispenser cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $90.11, as of our latest check.
