how do coffee machines heat water so fast?
In: Physics
They don’t. They only have access to 120v of power. It just seem like they heat water fast because they only ever heat a small amount at a time. If you want to get a sense of how powerful they actually are, time how long it takes to run the whole amount of water through the filter as compared to how long it takes to boil an equal amount on your stove.
