3 Ways to Cut Your Espresso Machine Energy Bill
- 🌱
Use the auto-off timer to power down after the morning routine — the boiler maintaining temperature draws significant power.
- 💡
Preheat cups with hot tap water instead of using the machine's cup warmer tray, which draws constant wattage.
- ⚡
Descale monthly if you have hard water — mineral buildup insulates the boiler and increases heat-up time and energy.
The heating boiler draws stable, high wattage with no surge — the pump motor adds a small, brief spike when engaged.
