Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Lavender Tea Rooms in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, wanted to streamline their summer drinks service and reduce their reliance on single-use bottles. They needed an attractive, high-capacity solution for their popular homemade elderflower cordial.
"The Kilner dispensers have been brilliant. They look the part on our counter and hold enough to see us through the lunchtime rush. Customers love serving themselves, and we’ve cut our refilling time by at least 50% during peak hours. A simple change that made a big difference."
Susan Clarke – Owner, The Lavender Tea Rooms
The business reported a noticeable increase in drink sales and a significant reduction in staff time spent on beverage service, allowing them to focus more on customer engagement.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before first use, wash the jar, seal, and tap thoroughly in warm, soapy water.
- Ensure the tap is securely tightened from both the inside and outside to prevent any leaks.
- Place the dispenser on a flat, stable surface away from the edge of the counter to avoid accidents.
- Fill with your chosen cold beverage, leaving a small gap at the top before sealing the clip-top lid.
Keeping It Going
- This dispenser is hand-wash only. Do not place it in a commercial dishwasher.
- To clean the tap, allow warm, soapy water to run through it, followed by clean water.
- Check the silicone seal regularly for any signs of wear and tear to maintain its airtight quality.
- Avoid using boiling water directly in the jar, as sudden temperature changes can cause the glass to crack.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this dispenser suitable for hot beverages?
A: No, this glass dispenser is designed for cold beverages only. Using boiling water or hot liquids can cause the glass to crack due to thermal shock.
Q: How do I stop the tap from dripping?
A: The tap includes a silicone seal. Ensure the nut on the inside of the jar is hand-tightened securely to create a leak-proof connection.
Q: Can I use it for carbonated drinks?
A: Yes, the airtight seal is great for keeping fizzy drinks fresh. However, pressure can build up, so it's not recommended for long-term storage or fermentation.
Q: What is sodalime glass?
A: It's a high-quality, non-porous glass that is perfect for food and drink as it has pristine clarity and won't leach any chemicals or flavours.
Q: Is the tap made of plastic or metal?
A: The dispenser features a durable, high-quality tap designed for frequent commercial use, typically a combination of robust plastic and metal components.
Q: How much does the empty dispenser weigh?
A: The empty Kilner CJ127 weighs approximately 2.29kg, making it sturdy on the counter but manageable to move for cleaning and refilling.
Q: Can I get a replacement seal or tap?
A: Yes, replacement parts such as seals and taps are often available for Kilner products to extend their lifespan.
Q: What does BPA-free mean?
A: It means the product is free from Bisphenol-A, an industrial chemical. This ensures the dispenser is completely safe for serving drinks to the public.
The Kilner Advantage: A Legacy of Trust in Every Pour

The Kilner CJ127 embodies this peace of mind, blending timeless design with the practical, hard-wearing performance modern businesses demand.
Explore more from KilnerWhy Sodalime Glass Makes a Better Brew
Ever wondered what 'Sodalime Glass' actually means? Think of it as the gold standard for food and drink glassware. Unlike some cheaper plastics or lower-grade glass, sodalime glass is non-porous and chemically stable. This means absolutely nothing from the glass itself can leach into your drinks, so your zesty lemonade tastes of lemon, not glass or plastic.
It's a bit like storing food in a high-quality glass container versus a cheap plastic takeaway box. One keeps the contents pure and untainted, while the other can sometimes impart a slight 'flavour'. For a commercial glass drinks dispenser, this feature ensures pristine taste and complete customer safety, every single time.
Who Should Buy This?
- Independent Cafés & Farm Shops: Perfect for showcasing homemade lemonade or iced tea on the counter, encouraging impulse buys.
- Event Caterers: A stylish and portable solution for serving welcome drinks or water at weddings and functions.
