What is an "urn"?
An urn is a vessel typically used for serving hot beverages, such as coffee, tea, or hot water for beverages like hot chocolate or mulled cider. Urns are usually made of metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum, and often feature insulation to keep the contents hot for an extended period. They come in various sizes, from small ones suitable for home use to large ones designed for catering or events. Urns often have a spigot or tap at the bottom for dispensing the beverage, and some may include additional features like temperature control or automatic shut-off.
