I've been remote working since 2000 but as an EE I agree with your employer: they have a duty to remove unauthorized electrical appliances from their premises since they present a fire risk. In addition an espresso machine obviously presents a risk of injury and associated lawsuits from numbskulls who don't know how to use it.

My office requires equipment to be tested by a recognized laboratory (UL/ETL/etc). Fire safety requirements are reasonable and easy to satisfy. What you describe is nonspecific reactionary FUD.
