From one of my previous posts a while back:
"I had measured our Keurig single-cup coffee maker before (rated 1450 watts) which takes 90 seconds per cup, but decided to test it again just to make sure.
When first turned on, it pulls 12 Amps for 40 seconds, then drops to 8 Amps for 20 seconds. For the remaining 30 seconds there is essentially no power consumption."
The new coffee maker is a fraction the size and weight, and is rated at 800 watts on nametag. I have not had a chance to check actual current yet, but expect it to be considerably below 1,000 watts, and probably below 800 watts on average over the 3 minutes. I need that to estimate total energy requirements. I expect total energy to be about the same (since heating same amount of water) but slower rate should be easier on (future) batteries.
