Ten minutes after unboxing the unit, the stainless steel casing feels solid and the LCD display lights up. MYLEK Catering Urn supplies regulated hot water between 60 and 100 °C for cafés, offices and small events. Clear controls and a steady-flow tap keep service moving on busy counters.
⚡ At a Glance
- • Temperature Control: Digital LCD thermostat, adjustable from 60–100 °C for precise serving heat
- • Top contender for: Small cafés, office kitchens and hosts who need continuous hot water for around 40 cups between refills
- • Less effective for: Marquee caterers running continuous service for 150+ guests; the 10-litre capacity (≈40 cups) forces frequent refills that interrupt service and increase staff time
A 10-litre, 1500 W stainless steel urn with an LCD thermostat and safety features. Ideal for steady service in small to medium hospitality settings.
Unlocking consistent serving temperatures with the LCD digital thermostat
The 1500 W heating element brings large volumes up to serving heat quickly, while the LCD-controlled 60–100 °C thermostat maintains the chosen level throughout service. Direct impact on outcomes: steady heat removes guesswork when switching between tea, coffee and warm drinks.
Accurate heat settings ensure every drink leaves the counter at the right warmth. If multiple drink types are on the menu, the thermostat holds each setting reliably so staff do not need to babysit the urn.
The stainless steel advantage in detail
Robust stainless steel resists scuffs and cleans with a wipe, while safety elements such as boil-dry protection with automatic reset and a lockable cool-touch handle reduce downtime and accident risk. In a busy conference, the vented lid and removable drip tray keep spills controlled and counters clear.
Durable construction keeps the unit presentable through repeated service and transportation. The empty weight of about 3.10 kg, roughly the weight of a 3 kg bag of potatoes, makes moving between prep and service tables straightforward for one person.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many cups does a full 10-litre fill make?
A: Approximately 40 standard cups from a full 10-litre tank, and the removable drip tray collects spills so counters remain tidy during busy service. Pro-tip: empty the tray between heavy shifts to avoid overflow and speed up preparation.
Q: Can the urn be used for mulled wine or low-heat drinks?
A: The adjustable 60–100 °C thermostat accommodates lower serving heat, allowing warm drinks such as mulled wine to be held without continuous boiling. Practical caveat: choose a lower set point on the LCD and check the heat occasionally to keep flavours steady.
Q: What safety features reduce the risk of damage or burns?
A: Boil-dry protection with automatic reset prevents the element from running dry, and the lockable cool-touch handle makes lifting safer while the vented lid reduces spluttering. Pro-tip: position the urn on a heat-resistant surface and use the drip tray when pouring to protect countertops.
