turn the coffee maker off after brewing.

today we will turn the coffee maker off after brewing. WHY The hot plate on most coffee makers stays on after brewing*, increasing energy use by about 25% . We will reduce energy use by turning off the coffee maker sooner. *Pod coffee makers keep water hot all the time when on, so turning them off saves energy by about 34%. HOW After our coffee is done brewing, hit the power button on the coffee maker to turn it off. Or, unplug it.
