Ask The Experts: How Much Electricity Does My Espresso Machine Use?

Sure, our espresso machines give us energy, but how much are they taking from the planet? We ran a test on a few of our favorites to show examples of the electricity draw and cost involved with running these machines each year. Our cost estimates are based on a national US average of $.11/kWh -- you can find more accurate data for your specific area here.

Machine Name & Type	kWh Used	Estimated Annual Cost
Jura Ena 3 & 4 Superautomatic	.17/day 62.05/year	$6.83
Jura Impressa Z7 Superautomatic w/One-Touch	.24/day 87.6/year	$9.64
Rancilio Silvia V3 Semi-Automatic w/Single Boiler	.81/day 295.65/year	$32.52
Rocket Espresso Cellini Premium Plus Semi-Automatic w/Heat Exchange	1.91/day 691.15/year	$76.03

Incidentally, we measured how much kWh it took to make a one-touch cappuccino on the Jura Z7 and found that it was .02kWh -- at $.11/kWh, that means you'd need to make about 5 cappuccinos to rack up 1 cent in energy costs!
