Airpots & Labels

Commercial airpots and thermal beverage dispensers are essential kit for busy UK cafés, restaurants, and catering operations serving hot drinks throughout the day. These professional-grade insulated containers keep coffee, tea, and other hot beverages at perfect serving temperature for hours—without electricity or heating elements. With capacities typically ranging from 2.5 to 5 litres and tough stainless steel construction, they're built specifically for commercial demands. After 50 years in the business, we've seen how proper airpots paired with quality coffee machines dramatically reduce service time while maintaining drink quality. Perfect for hotels looking to offer self-service options or catering companies needing mobile hot drink stations!

How Commercial Airpots & Labels Work

Commercial airpots are clever bits of kit that keep beverages hot without external power. The magic happens thanks to double-walled vacuum insulation—creating a thermal barrier that prevents heat from escaping. Most feature a pump-action mechanism where you simply press the top lever to dispense drinks, while others use a push-button system. Inside, a vacuum-sealed chamber (usually stainless steel or glass-lined) maintains temperature for 8-12 hours—brilliant for all-day service! The accompanying label holders attach magnetically or via clips, allowing you to identify contents clearly without constantly opening the airpot and losing precious heat.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Airpots & Labels

For maximum heat retention, always pre-heat your airpot by filling it with hot water for 2-3 minutes before adding coffee. Clean thoroughly daily using a bottle brush to reach all corners, and descale monthly to prevent build-up affecting beverage taste. Create a rotation system with multiple airpots during busy periods, and use clear, consistent labelling with magnetic holders for different coffee types or tea varieties. Finally, remember to check and replace gaskets annually to maintain that crucial vacuum seal.
