- Pros: Virtually indestructible compared to glass, making it much safer and cost-effective.
- Cons: Heat retention is good for service, but not for all-day warmth.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle Tea Room in York was constantly replacing their glass coffee carafes due to accidental drops and chips during their hectic lunch service. They needed a more robust, long-term solution that still looked professional for their table service.
"We were spending a small fortune on replacement glass jugs. Switching to these Buffalo polycarbonate jugs was a fantastic decision. They look smart, our staff find them much easier to handle, and we haven't had a single breakage since we brought them in. They just bounce!"
Susan Davies – Owner
The tea room eliminated replacement costs for coffee jugs entirely, saving an estimated £200 in the first six months and improving staff confidence during service.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the jug thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse well.
- For best results, pre-warm the jug by swirling a little hot water inside before filling it with coffee.
- Ensure the lid is seated correctly to maximise heat retention and prevent spills.
Keeping It Going
- Hand-wash daily with a soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratching the polycarbonate.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners, as this can cloud the material over time.
- Regularly check the lid's seal to ensure it remains tight and effective.
- To remove coffee stains, soak with a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Buffalo CY339 dishwasher safe?
A: To maintain its clarity and prolong its life, we recommend hand-washing with a soft cloth. Abrasive dishwasher detergents can cause polycarbonate to become cloudy over time.
Q: How long will this jug keep coffee hot for?
A: As a thermal server (not vacuum insulated), it's designed to keep coffee at a good serving temperature for around 1-2 hours, making it perfect for breakfast service or meetings.
Q: Is the lid included with the jug?
A: Yes, the jug comes complete with its matching easy-pour lid.
Q: Can I use this for cold drinks too?
A: Absolutely! It's great for serving chilled water, iced tea, or juice, and the shatter-resistant design makes it ideal for outdoor or event use.
Q: What is polycarbonate?
A: It's a type of strong, shatter-resistant plastic that is lightweight and transparent, making it a much safer and more durable alternative to glass in commercial settings.
Q: What does 'BPA Free' mean?
A: It means the plastic is made without Bisphenol A, a chemical some studies have linked to health concerns. It ensures the jug is safe for serving beverages to the public.
Q: Does the stainless steel base make it heavy?
A: No, the jug is still very lightweight at only 0.45kg. The base adds just enough weight to provide excellent stability without making it cumbersome to carry.
Q: Will this jug fit on a standard filter coffee machine hotplate?
A: With a base diameter of 208mm, it's designed to be a free-standing serving jug. It is not intended for use directly on a brewing machine's hotplate.
