Apr 27, 2017

When the morning rolls around, we often find ourselves looking for something to help wake us up. Most people would reach for a cup of coffee or a fresh smoothie not thinking about the amount of energy being used to make them! Below, we break down exactly how much wattage each appliance typically uses!

Let’s look at wattage.

Blender = 300 Watts < Espresso Machine = 360 Watts
