How to lower the cost of running a coffee maker
Drip coffee makers use most of their energy heating water during the 5–10 minute brew. Keeping the pot hot on a warming plate draws another 50–100W for as long as it's left on. Single-serve pod machines draw 1,000–1,500W while heating and some keep a reservoir hot all day unless auto-off is enabled.
- Brew into a thermal carafe instead of leaving the warming plate on.
- Enable auto-off on pod machines so the reservoir doesn't stay hot all day.
- Brew only as much coffee as you'll drink.
