how do coffee machines heat water so fast?
In: Physics
Drip coffee machines only heat a tiny bit of water at a time, right before it drips out. So all that power goes to just the small drip of water. If you look at how long it takes to heat all the water(i.e. finish brewing), it will be about the same as an electric kettle with the same power heating element and the same quantity of water.
