  • Plenty of savings on coffee makers in workplaces

    Freshly brewed coffee made in automatic coffee making machines is undeniably popular. More and more workplaces are choosing coffee makers to replace their old ‘stewed coffee’ vacuum flasks and jugs. In fact, according to the Danish Technological Institute, there will be around 35,000 additional coffee makers in action over the next 2 years. However, there is a price to pay for using an appliance which is on standby to brew around the clock, day in, day out. This is why the Institute recommends that you check the energy consumption of a coffee maker before making a purchase or agreeing to a service contract. | 04.07.2008
