Thermopots with hand pump

Manual pump

— this type of pump is manually operated by a large button typically located on the lid of the thermopot. Unlike electric pumps, it does not require electricity to operate and is therefore useful in case of power outages. However, it can be inconvenient to use as it may require multiple presses of the button to fill a cup, and it is difficult to accurately measure the amount of water dispensed. While it is a simple and inexpensive option, it is often combined with other more advanced systems for greater convenience and accuracy.
