SYBO SR-CP-100B Electric Coffee Urn
Safety Instruction
When using your coffee maker, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- Read all instructions.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the cord, plugs, or coffeemaker in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to the manufacturer for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- Use your coffeemaker only for uses described in this booklet. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause hazards.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot burner, or in a heated oven.
- Caution must be used when moving an appliance containing any hot liquid.
- Always attach the plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, remove the plug.
CAUTION!
- NEVER RUN UNIT DRY. Liquid must always cover the inside bottom of the unit to avoid damage.
- NEVER IMMERSE BASE IN WATER.
- CLEAN COFFEE MAKER REGULARLY.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
- WASH BEFORE USING. Before using the unit for the first time and after each use, wash the coffee basket, percolating tube, and interior of the coffee maker with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth. NEVER IMMERSE BASE IN WATER.
- MEASURE WATER. Remove cover, coffee basket, and percolating tube, and fill coffee maker with fresh, cold water to the desired fill line. Do not fill the coffee maker past the top fill line. Never use hot water to make coffee.
- MEASURE COFFEE. Wet the bottom coffee basket to prevent grounds from filtering into the brewed coffee. Measure an appropriate amount of coffee (see chart) into the coffee basket and set the coffee basket on the percolating tube. Position the bottom of the percolating tube into the heating well, but DO NOT FORCE IT. Place the cover on the coffeemaker (no separate plate is necessary since the cover operates as a water spreader).
These are recommended amounts only—coffee strength can be adjusted to personal taste by adding or subtracting from those quantities.
COFFEE MEASURING GUIDE
- Allow approximately 1 1/2 minutes per cup brewing time. Voltage changes or variations in water temperature will affect brewing time. NEVER MAKE LESS THAN THE MINIMUM CAPACITY OR MORE THAN THE MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF YOUR COFFEEMAKER. TWIST TO SECURE COVER.
- Before brewing, place the cover on the coffeemaker and turn to secure it in the handle slots. Note the arrows on the cover for correct turning. To remove the cover, reverse the procedure and lift.
- BEGIN BREWING. Plug the cord into any AC outlet. The signal light glows when coffee is ready to serve. After brewing, the coffee maker automatically switches to low heat and will keep coffee at the proper serving temperature until the unit is unplugged. Coffee maker stops brewing automatically, but will remain at serving temperature as long as coffeemaker is connected to the outlet.
- SERVE. Push the lever down on the faucet and hold until the cup is filled; release, and it shuts off automatically. For continuous pouring (to fill a large carafe or server), pull forward to “lock” into place. To stop, push back and return the lever to the regular serving position.
Helpful Hints
- Make at least 12 cups at one time to insure best coffee flavor. Never make less than the minimum capacity or more than the maximum capacity of your coffeemaker.
- Use regular coffee grounds for all coffee makers for the best results. Do not use drip or finely ground coffee, as flooding of the coffee basket can occur. If grinding your own coffee beans, grind to medium coarseness for best results. Do not grind too fine (powder-like) as this can cause the coffee basket to flood.
CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
- Remove coffee basket and grounds as soon as the brewing cycle is completed. This also helps maintain coffee flavor. Use the coffeemaker cover as a carrying tray when disposing of the wet basket and coffee grounds.
- Before brewing a second pot, cool the coffeemaker by rinsing it thoroughly with cold water. If dripping occurs between the faucet and the coffeemaker body, tighten the nut inside the coffee maker. If the dripping occurs from the faucet spout, tighten the faucet bonnet.
- Before using for the first time and after each use, wash the coffee basket, percolating tube, and interior of the coffeemaker with warm, soapy water. Do not immerse the base in water. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry. Wipe exterior with a damp cloth and dry. Before cleaning, unplug the unit and pour out any remaining coffee.
- To clean the cover, coffee stains on the underside may be removed by scouring with a damp cloth and a non-abrasive cleanser.
- Clean the faucet after each use by pouring hot water into the coffeemaker and running the water through the faucet.
- The percolating tube should be frequently cleaned with a long, narrow brush to remove mineral deposits, which may impair the unit’s operation. The oily coffee residue will also affect the flavor of the next pot of coffee.
- Heating well of coffeemaker should be cleaned thoroughly with an abrasive pad. Rinse thoroughly and dry. This will remove mineral deposits, which may affect the coffee maker’s operation and eventually cause the percolating tube to stick in the heating well and break.
- To remove discolorations caused by coffee stains, oils, and mineral deposits, clean the inside of the coffeemaker frequently by filling the unit to the top fill line with cold water. Add 1/2 cup cream of tartar, insert the percolating tube and the empty coffee basket. Cover the unit and plug it into the wall outlet. When the brewing cycle is completed, unplug the unit, allow it to cool, and discard the contents. Wash and rinse the coffee basket, percolating tube, and inside of the coffeemaker thoroughly. If the coffeemaker is used daily, this procedure should be followed every two weeks.
- If the coffeemaker is used daily, a special cleaning every 2 weeks is necessary to remove mineral deposits. Fill the coffeemaker with 1 quart each of water and distilled vinegar. (If a white mineral buildup has formed inside the unit, use an additional 2 cups of vinegar.) Please stem and empty the coffee basket in place, secure the cover, and plug in. Allow the coffeemaker to complete the brewing cycle, then let it stand 10–15 minutes.
- Unplug and drain the coffeemaker. Allow to cool and follow general cleaning instructions.
- WARNING! If cleaning instructions are not followed, the operation of this unit may be seriously impaired.
- Do not wash coffeemaker parts in an automatic dishwasher.

SYBO SR-CP-100B Electric Coffee Urn-FAQs
How do you properly fill the SYBO SR-CP-100B coffee urn?
To fill the SYBO SR-CP-100B coffee urn, open the lid and pour cold water only into the inner tank up to the desired cup level marking. Do not exceed the maximum fill line, as overfilling can affect brewing performance. Insert the coffee basket and pump tube correctly before placing the lid back on. Using cold water ensures the heating and percolation cycle works safely and efficiently.
How does the SYBO electric coffee urn work?
The SYBO coffee urn works using a percolation brewing system. Water heats inside the urn and travels up the pump tube, then spreads over coffee grounds through the perforated basket lid. The brewed coffee drips back into the main chamber and continues circulating until brewing is complete. Once ready, the urn automatically switches to a keep-warm mode to maintain serving temperature.
How much coffee should I use for a 100-cup SYBO urn?
For a balanced flavor, use about 2 to 3 cups of coarse ground coffee for a full 100-cup brew. This amount can be adjusted based on taste preferences. It’s better to brew coffee slightly stronger, as it can be diluted with hot water if needed. Using coarse grounds helps prevent sediment and ensures smooth circulation during percolation.
Does the SYBO SR-CP-100B require a coffee filter?
Yes, using a paper or mesh filter is recommended. Filters help trap fine coffee grounds and natural oils, resulting in cleaner, smoother coffee. They also make cleanup easier and reduce internal buildup, which can extend the lifespan of the urn. While the urn can function without a filter, using one improves both taste and maintenance.
Are coffee urns safe to leave on all day?
Coffee urns are designed with safety features and automatic temperature control, but they are not intended for continuous all-day use. Leaving an urn on for extended hours can affect coffee quality and increase wear on internal components. It’s best to turn the unit off when not serving and brew fresh coffee as needed.
What is the warranty coverage for SYBO coffee urns?
SYBO coffee urns typically come with a 1-year limited parts warranty covering manufacturing defects. In some regions or promotions, warranty coverage may be extended. Warranty applies only to products purchased through authorized sellers, and proof of purchase is usually required for claims.
Can you heat milk or make hot chocolate in the SYBO urn?
Yes, the SYBO SR-CP-100B can be used to heat milk or prepare hot chocolate. Add liquid first, allow it to heat fully, then stir in cocoa or mix after the heating cycle completes. Avoid adding powdered mixes during the percolation phase, as high heat can cause scorching. Always clean thoroughly afterward to prevent residue buildup.
Is vinegar or descaling solution better for cleaning?
Vinegar is a convenient and affordable option for removing mineral deposits, especially with light buildup. However, commercial descaling solutions are more effective for heavy scaling and often work faster. If you use vinegar, you may need to repeat the process and rinse thoroughly to remove lingering odors.
How do you clean and descale a SYBO coffee urn?
Always unplug the urn and let it cool completely before cleaning. Remove the basket and pump tube, rinse thoroughly, and wash with warm soapy water. For descaling, fill the urn with a mixture of water and white vinegar, run a partial brew cycle, then rinse well with clean water. Regular descaling prevents mineral buildup and keeps performance optimal.
