I apologize if this is not the correct forum but, I was at an event that the mess cook had a large metal coffee dispenser almost like a over sized thermos with a spout on it like a water jug. I was wondering what the name of it would be as I would love to get my hands on one. Can anyone help? I know it's not much of a description but I'm not too sure how else to explain it, I do know that it was not a mermite though.

Surprisingly, the bottles are not listed with normal commissary equipment but only with AAF flight equipment - carrying coffee for crews on long missions.

 

I've seen a couple and the only difference from the commercial versions is they are painted a semi-gloss OD and have "Property of US Army Air Forces" stamped on the bottom.
