The Winco CD-64K is a 64-ounce coffee decanter with a black plastic handle, the universal restaurant industry signal for regular (caffeinated) coffee. Color-coded handles are the standard for commercial coffee service: black for regular, orange for decaf. The decanter sits on commercial coffee brewer warming plates and holds brewed coffee between pours.

Color-Coding Convention

Standard restaurant practice uses black-handled decanters for regular coffee and orange-handled decanters for decaf. This convention exists across virtually every American restaurant chain so servers can identify coffee type at a glance during a busy service. The CD-64K matches this convention.

Capacity and Sizing

64 ounces is the standard full-size commercial coffee decanter capacity, matching the brewing batch size of most commercial drip coffee makers (Bunn, Wilbur Curtis, Newco). Roughly 12-13 standard 5-oz coffee servings per decanter. For higher-volume operations, run multiple decanters on a multi-station brewer rather than scaling up decanter size.

Care and Replacement

Decanters are consumable items in commercial service - expect 6-12 month replacement cycles under heavy use as glass develops thermal stress cracks and handles loosen. Keep spares on hand. Dishwasher safe but hand-wash extends decanter life.
