Environmentally Friendly Espresso- and Coffee Machines (DE-UZ 136)

Coffee enjoyment without remorse about the climate
People in Germany like to drink coffee and they drink quite a lot. Besides the classical filter coffee, espresso machines are steadily gaining popularity in Germany too. In contrast to the traditional coffee-making, the advantage of the modern automatic coffee machines is - from the environmental point of view – the fact that they brew only as much coffee as is actually needed. This helps to save both energy and coffee. However, a fact that many consumers do not know is that quite a number of these single-portion coffee machines have high power consumption, for example, because of their need for constant water heating.
