Heating-element power

1500 W heating supports quick brews while maintaining stable brewing temperatures.

The copper heating system is consistently reported to hit proper brew temperatures, and this review measured roughly 200°F at the shower head (within the 195–205°F target range), supporting its reputation for stable heating, while the hotplate keeps coffee hot and then shuts off automatically after about an hour.

A powerful copper heating element rapidly brings water into the ideal 195 to 205 degree range, holds it around 200 to 204 degrees through the brew, and supports a full 10-cup cycle in under six minutes while staying within SCA guidelines.

Breville’s thin film, flow through ThermoJet heater draws short bursts of up to about 1560 watts to heat water almost instantly and maintain tight temperature control, while sipping very little power when the machine is idle.

A 1,450W thermojet heating circuit provides powerful, instant brew and steam performance while still consuming significantly less energy than traditional single-boiler machines like the Rancilio Silvia.

The heater is rated around 1190W and delivered brew water near 187.5°F in testing, which is very hot compared with competitors.

Brews within the optimal temperature range (about 198-205°F), giving confidence in correct brew heat and supporting consistent extraction as reflected in its SCA certification focus.

Runs very hot for a budget drip maker; testing and user checks put brew water around the mid-to-high 180s°F with readings near ~190°F up top, producing a very hot cup.

Thermoblock system (1450W) heats quickly for short warm-up times and supports milk drinks at a pleasant drinking temperature without long waits.

Previous tests found the thermoblock delivering milk around 60–65°C and hot water close to brewing temperatures while transitioning smoothly between steaming and espresso. This review confirms milk in the low-60s and espresso or hot water in roughly the low-80s°C feel properly hot for most users, though anyone chasing extra-hot milk may still prefer a traditional steam-wand machine.

Drink temperature is generally acceptable out of the cup and the machine offers adjustable temperature levels, helping users tune heat to preference without much effort.

The heater is rated around 895W and delivered brew water near 179.2°F in testing, which is adequately hot compared with competitors.

The heater is rated around 950W and delivered brew water near 181.5°F in testing, which is adequately hot compared with competitors.

The heater is rated around 965W and delivered brew water near 177.1°F in testing, which is adequately hot compared with competitors.

Despite its price, the brewer holds water temperatures mostly between 195°F and 200°F at the shower head, aligning well with recommended brewing ranges.

Heating performance is mixed: the keep-warm system avoids scorching the coffee over hours, but heat retention lags some competitors, with coffee dropping to around 159°F after a couple of hours.

Brew temperatures landed around 179°F and the warmer increased heat after an hour, keeping coffee very hot, though the warming plate can run extremely hot to the touch.

Heating is framed as effective for everyday use, with this review measuring coffee output around 187–189°F and highlighting a warming plate with selectable low/medium/high settings plus adjustable auto-off duration.

The heater is rated around 975W and delivered brew water near 176.0°F in testing, which is adequately hot compared with competitors.

High-power heating around 1,000W brewed hot water near 183°F, and the warmer ran even hotter after an hour, which helps keep coffee very hot but can risk overheating if left too long.

As a battery-powered unit, it brewed water near 173.5°F in testing, which is cooler than most plug-in machines but still adequate for a basic cup.

Temperature performance is generally steadier than low-cost rivals (often around the mid-200s F), but it isn’t flawless—occasional dips or spikes can occur, so preheating and stable workflow help.

In this test the heater brewed midrange-hot water around 178°F and only cooled a few degrees after an hour, suggesting steady warming even though it did not reach the hottest temperatures.

The heater is rated around 935W and delivered brew water near 169.0°F in testing, which is on the cooler side compared with competitors.
