    Does that plug in the photo look like a 10 amp
    if so it is not compliant
    Its very hard to tell from a photo like that one. The difference between an 10A and 15A is the width of the earth pin. People have been known to file down the earth pin on a 15A plug to make it run out of a standard 10A powerpoint, which as Brett (motocoffee) pointed out is very bad ju-ju.

    A standard (read un-modified) 15A plug SHOULD NOT fit into a standard 10A power

    Only if you dont want to burn the building down, essentially if you try and run 15 amps through a regular 10amp circuit you run the risk of overheating the wires and causing a fire. Big no no.Shocked

    If it draws 15 amps do you need a 15 amp power outlet ?

    CS sparkies could answer that

    What do you want to use this for? Office, cafe? I saw it on ebay and it is already pricey at the current bid IMHO.

    Hi blackbean,

    I used these in a past life at the coffee academy. I *think* theyre a rebadged San Marino :-/?

    FWIW, one of the least impressive espresso machines I have used. You could do a whole lot better...

    Doubt parts would be an issue but I wouldnt call it an espresso machine. More of a hot coffee flavored dispenser :-?.

    You mean this sort of equipment?

    http://www.douweegbertscoffeesystems.com/dg/OutOfHome/OurProducts/Coffee/Cafitesse/Machines/

    or this http://www.douweegbertscoffeesystems.com/hidden_eg/OutOfHome/OurProducts/Coffee/PiazzaDoroEspresso/Machines/

    Is this for your home or office? It looks like a vending solution where you are committed to buy their coffee and enter into a contract.
