I was on jury duty a few years ago and all of us prospective jurors sat in large
room. They used two Bunn coffee makers that brewed directly into these 'air
pots.' It was great idea to keep the coffee hot without it sitting on a burner
to burn the brew. However, two of these pots were not enough to satisfy the
yearnings of 50-60 people. I craned my neck to see how one of the court clerks
took the pot apart to make the coffee. After that when the pots were quickly
drained dry by the other prospective jurors I made coffee and I was a popular
girl that day for sure. Hahahahaaaaa
