2.2 Product Types

2.2.1 Fully automatic coffee machines

Fully automatic coffee machines operate automatically at the touch of a button and

contain a complete preparation system with mill and pumps. Coffee beans are grinded

to coffee grounds and are then compressed. With a pressure of at least 900 kPa

, the

heated water (about 90°C) is pressed through the coffee powder. The coffee grounds

are then automatically thrown into the pulp container and the brewed coffee goes

directly into the provided cup/cups. Some automatic coffee machines even have an

automated milk frothing, water filter and self-cleaning system. Most of the appliances

can operate both with coffee powder and coffee beans.

There are large differences in power consumption of the respective technologies:

appliance without integrated auto power down function

could have an energy

consumption of 196 kWh per year - due to the high power consumption in the

machines’ ready (keeping hot) and standby mode. The keeping warm function may

consume up to 75 % of the total energy consumption per year, depending on user's

switching off practice. High efficiency coffee machines with an auto-power-down

function, a better insulation of boilers and low standby only have a consumption of

about 34 - 44 kWh per year

. The price of a fully automatic machine ranges between

400 and 1300 Euros, with a lifetime of aout 10 years
