In the EU it’s no longer even possible to buy a machine that stays on and keeps the coffee warm for longer than about an hour due to new regulations designed to cut power usage & emissions.
I have mixed feelings about that - but ultimately I guess it’s good for the planet.
- doublemint2203 3y agoisn't like, an enormously overwhelming % of climate change just caused by corporations, though?
- Sebb767 3y agoCorporations producing things for consumers and having devices in stand-by. It's not like those things are unrelated or that you can completely ignore one side.
- thworp 3y agoYes of course, it was all the evil corporations, they forced us to buy nice things, eliminate most hard labor and be able to travel orders of magnitude faster than pre-industrial people. Let's dissolve all corporations and problem solved. Thanks!
- doublemint2203 3y agonot at all where i was going with that, just think a personal "carbon footprint" is dumb chill.
- SOLAR_FIELDS 3y agoFor a drip machine, I have a Mr. Coffee that uses a stainless steel carafe that uses its thermal properties to keep the coffee hot. I find that I prefer that over the more typical glass carafes anyway for multiple reasons. Two include that there is no chance of breaking the carafe and also I think coffee continuously heated by the glass machines develops a kind of nasty burnt flavor, which is making the already bad drip coffee taste even worse. Ultimately the steel carafe only keeps the coffee hot for about 3 hours after brewing but for something with zero heat applied after brewing it's not bad, and the flavor stays decent. I guess one downside of the steel carafe is that if you have coffee older than that there's no way to turn the heater on to warm it back up, but I just pop it into the microwave if that's the case.
