A coffee server for serving brewed coffee is insulated with a partial vacuum pulled in a void (36) between the walls of an outer vessel (20) and an inner vessel (32). The outer and inner vessels are fabricated of metal and have a top narrow neck opening (22) and (34) that are attached together with
A coffee server for serving brewed coffee is insulated with a partial vacuum pulled in a void (36) between the walls of an outer vessel (20) and an inner vessel (32). The outer and inner vessels are fabricated of metal and have a top narrow neck opening (22) and (34) that are attached together with a hermetic seal (42). The partial vacuum is for minimizing heat loss conducted through the combined vessels permitting coffee placed inside to retain its useable heat content for at least six hours without additional heat being added. A pour spout neck (44) is fitted to the vessel necks and provides a liquid flow path when the server is tilted to pour coffee that is stored inside. An offset brew though stopper (52) including a hinged cover (58), is removably attached to the pour spout neck with the cover pivoted to permit coffee from a brewer to enter the server through an offset portion of the stopper during the filling process. A handle (68) is attached to pour spout neck on one end and to the bottom of inner vessel on the other end for lifting and handling the server. A transparent tube (78) with a nozzle (80) on an open end is in communication with the bottom portion of the inner vessel and the tube is encased within the handle permitting visual indication of the liquid level through a slot in the handle.

The computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein selecting the transmission mode includes: determining whether the data information is real time or non-real time data; if the data information is real time data, then selecting an IEEE 1394 isochronous channel for communicating the data information to the particular node; and if the data information is non-real time data, then selecting an IEEE 1394 asynchronous channel for communicating the data information to the particular node. 7. The computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein preparing the portion of the data information for transmission comprises: reading an address mapping table and retrieving node address information for the particular node; and appending the node address information for the particular node with the portion of the data information in the second digital format. 8. The computer-readable medium of claim 5, wherein the data packet is received at the gateway device through an external network interface configured to use an asynchronous transfer mode protocol and wherein the data packet is router to an internal network interface configured to use an IEEE 1394 protocol. a first module, comprising: a first hub having a vertically extending longitudinal axis, said first hub having an upper portion, a lower portion and a middle portion intermediate said upper and lower portions; a first flange attached to said middle portion of said first hub and extending horizontally from said first hub; and a first skirt attached to said first flange and extending downward from said first flange, said first skirt having a plurality of keyways adapted to receive and hold a bottle by a neck of said bottle; and a second module, comprising: a second hub having a vertically extending longitudinal axis, said second hub having an upper portion, a lower portion and a middle portion intermediate said upper and lower portions; a second flange attached to said middle portion of said second hub and extending horizontally from said second hub; and a second skirt attached to said second flange and extending downward from said second flange, said second skirt having a plurality of keyways adapted to receive and hold a bottle by a neck of said bottle, said upper portion of said first hub being smaller in dimension than said lower portion of said second hub so that said second module receives said first module to stack said module one atop the other. 8. A modular display device, as set forth in claim 7, wherein each of said keyways has an arcuate upper portion and an arcuate lower portion larger in dimension than said upper portion. 9. A modular display device, as set forth in claim 8, including a generally straight intermediate portion connecting said upper and lower arcuate portions. 10. A modular display device, as set forth in claim 7, wherein each of said skirts has an upper portion and a lower portion, said upper portion extending downward from an associated flange at an acute angle from horizontal, said lower portion extending vertically downward from said upper portion. 11. A modular display device, as set forth in claim 10, wherein said upper portion extends a greater distance from an associated hub than said flange. 12. A modular display device, as set forth in claim 7, wherein said lower portion of said second hub rests on said first flange. 13. A modular display device for holding a plurality of bottles by necks of said bottles, comprising: a first module, comprising: a first hub having a vertically extending longitudinal axis, said first hub having an upper portion, a lower portion and a middle portion intermediate said upper and lower portions; a first flange attached to said middle portion of said first hub and extending horizontally from said first hub; and a first skirt attached to said first flange and extending downward from said first flange, said first skirt having a plurality of upper openings each adapted to receive a bottle and a plurality of lower openings each adapted hold a bottle by a neck of the bottle; and a second module, comprising: a second hub having a vertically extending longitudinal axis, said second hub having an upper portion, a lower portion and a middle portion intermediate said upper and lower portions, said upper portion of said first hub being smaller in dimension than said lower portion of said second hub so that said second module receives said first module to stack said modules one atop the other; a second flange attached to said middle portion of said second hub and extending horizontally from said second hub; and a second skirt attached to said second flange and extending downward from said second flange, said second skirt having a plurality of upper openings each adapted to receive a bottle and a plurality of lower openings each adapted to hold a bottle by a neck of the bottle, each of said upper openings of said first skirt mating with one of said lower openings of said second skirt to form a keyway adapted to receive and hold a bottle by a neck of the bottle. 14.
