- Top Asset: Its portability is fantastic; the folding legs and handle are a real plus.
- Keep in Mind: This is a passive dispenser; it holds temperature but won't actively chill drinks.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lakeside View Café in Keswick needed a better way to serve hot chocolate to hikers and cold juice to tourists on their busy outdoor terrace. Their old plastic jugs weren't keeping temperature and looked unprofessional.
"We needed something tough, portable, and that didn't need plugging in. The Olympia dispensers have been brilliant. They keep our hot chocolate steaming for the whole morning rush and look the part. Our customers have noticed the difference, and it’s made service so much smoother for the team."
Michael Edwards – Café Owner
The café eliminated complaints about lukewarm drinks and reported a 20% increase in hot beverage sales during their first autumn using the dispensers.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the interior and tap components with warm, soapy water.
- To set up, simply unfold the three legs until they lock firmly into their stable, wide-stance position.
- Check that the tap's silicone washer is seated correctly inside to prevent any drips.
- For best results with hot drinks, pre-heat the dispenser by swirling some hot water inside for a minute before filling.
Keeping It Going
- Always clean thoroughly after each use to prevent residue build-up.
- The tap can be easily unscrewed and disassembled for a deep clean.
- Use only soft cloths and non-abrasive detergents to protect the stainless steel finish.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to maintain its condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can this dispenser be used for hot liquids like soup or coffee?
A: Yes, absolutely. The double-wall stainless steel insulation is designed to keep hot liquids, including soup, coffee, tea, or mulled wine, hot for several hours.
Q: How long will it keep drinks cold?
A: Performance varies depending on the starting temperature and ambient room temperature, but it will typically keep pre-chilled drinks cold for an entire service period (4-6 hours).
Q: Is the tap difficult to clean?
A: Not at all. The tap assembly is designed to be easily unscrewed from the body, allowing you to take it apart for a thorough clean and prevent any flavour contamination.
Q: Are the legs sturdy enough for outdoor use on grass?
A: Yes, the three-legged design provides a stable base on a variety of surfaces, including slightly uneven ground like grass at an outdoor event.
Q: Can I carry it when it's full?
A: While it has a carry handle, we recommend transporting it empty to the serving location before filling to avoid spillage and for safety, as 13.5 litres of liquid is heavy.
Q: Does the lid lock for transport?
A: The lid sits securely on top but does not have a locking mechanism. It's designed for stationary service rather than transport while full.
Q: What is the main body made of?
A: The entire body, inside and out, is made from durable and hygienic stainless steel.
Q: Can I put pulpy juice in it?
A: Yes, the tap is robust enough for juices with some pulp. For very thick drinks, you may need to stir the contents occasionally to prevent settling.
The Olympia Promise: Reliability You Can Count On
When you choose an Olympia product, you're investing in more than just a piece of equipment; you're buying into a reputation for straightforward, dependable performance.

This stainless steel drinks dispenser is a perfect example of that philosophy. There are no complex electronics to fail or confusing features to master. Its value comes from its sheer resilience and simplicity. This is a workhorse designed to endure countless events, breakfast services, and functions, providing consistent results every time.

Explore more from OlympiaHow Double-Wall Insulation Keeps Drinks Perfect for Hours
Ever wondered how this dispenser works its magic without a plug? The secret is its 'double-wall insulation'. Think of it like a high-quality thermos flask, but on a much larger scale for your business. The unit is built with two layers of stainless steel with a vacuum or air gap trapped between them.
This gap is the key—it's a very poor conductor of heat. This means that on a hot day, the heat from the outside can't get in to warm up your chilled juice. Likewise, when you fill it with hot soup or coffee, the heat can't escape. It's a brilliantly simple, effective piece of physics that gives you temperature control for hours, allowing you to serve quality drinks anywhere, anytime.
Who Should Buy This?
- Mobile Caterers: Ideal for serving welcome drinks at weddings or corporate functions, whatever the location.
- Hotels & B&Bs: A smart, self-service solution for the breakfast buffet, keeping juices perfectly chilled for guests.
- Conference Centres: Provide hassle-free refreshments for delegates during breaks without needing multiple power points.
- Outdoor Event Stalls: Perfect for serving mulled wine or fresh lemonade at markets and festivals.
