Boilerless
What Does the Future of Coffee Brewing Look Like?
We've thought about it and we believe we know the direction we're going. And it is boilerless.
There are so many advantages to having a boilerless machine that we simply can't stop talking about it.
For filter coffee, we put the spotlight on the Swedish boilerless brewers from 3TEMP. They are incredibly clear about their ambitions to brew in higher quality but with less energy consumption.
Their boilerless machines can reduce your energy consumption up to ~90%, compared to a standard filter coffee machine with a boiler.
Decrease Your Electricity Bill
Huge Reduction
In many cafés, hotels and offices, the coffee machine typically sits and keeps water hot all day and even overnight.
This results in a far greater waste of energy when the coffee machine is on standby.
The visualization above speaks for itself. There is a significant difference between the energy consumption of a boilerless machine compared to a standard machine.
From Skagen to Sicily
A modern electric vehicle travels 5 km per hour. kWh. This means that the total annual standby energy consumption of a standard filter coffee machine could drive an electric car up to 3066 kilometers.
It is actually the distance between Skagen in Denmark all the way down to Sicily in Italy.
If you like to bake, you can turn on the oven and bake for 245 hours without stopping.
Or you can binge your favourite series at the same time. On 4 different TVs at the same time. For a whole year. Just to achieve the same standby energy consumption as a standard filter coffee maker.
Water and Heat
Now It's Getting a Little Geeky...
Not only does the conventional filter brewer waste a lot of energy, it actually also makes a worse cup of coffee.
This is because water changes when it sits for so long in a boiler under constant heating.
More specifically, the water's mineral content begins to separate and it actually begins to lose its oxygen content as well. Overall, it simply means that the taste of the water changes.
Minerals in the Water
When the water sits in the kettle under constant heat, it becomes dull and flat – and the taste of your coffee is affected by this.
Calcium and magnesium are the most common soluble substances in hard water. The amount of the two substances is what determines the hardness of the water. In some water you can also find iron and manganese ions.
What happens in a conventional boiler when the water is heated is that the amount of magnesium (which is actually suitable for the taste of the coffee) and calcium is reduced. This can cause damage to the brewer while also affecting the taste, which can be avoided if the boiler is removed and you use filtered water.
Water Quality Is Essential in a Good Cup of Coffee
As you may already know, water is a crucial factor in a cup of coffee and its taste affects the final result of your brew. If you have invested in a good water filtration solution, it would be a shame to lose all that work in the boiler.
This is where 3TEMP comes to the rescue, because it saves not only on your energy bill and your carbon emissions, but also on the quality of the water.
By drawing only fresh water through the system for each brew and heating it seconds before it hits the gruond coffee, 3TEMP helps you get the most out of your quality beans. Then both the water and the coffee can taste delicious.
