Fully automatic coffee machine: This is how much electricity it consumes

This is how much electricity a fully automatic coffee machine consumes

With a fully automatic coffee machine, you can expect the following electricity consumption:

• The range of functions of the machine, the duration of use and also how long the water is kept warm have a significant influence on the electricity consumption.
• In general, the fewer functions, the less electricity is consumed. Switching the machine off instead of in standby mode also reduces power consumption.
• On average, a fully automatic coffee machine consumes 1,400 to 1,500 watts of electricity. In comparison, a simple filter machine consumes about 1,000 watts.
• Calculated over a year, this results in costs of about 90 euros per year if the machine is used for 30 minutes a day, at an electricity price of 32 cents per kilowatt hour.
• In standby mode of a fully automatic coffee machine, the power consumption is about 3 watts.
• If you have an older machine with a large water tank, the consumption can be two to three times higher. It might make sense to switch to a new and more energy-efficient machine.
