Lets see the nameplate. I'll bet a small lunch that it ain't 3 phase.

Better get your lunch money ready cause if you Google 3-phase coffee makers a whole bunch of commercial size units come up. I saw one that is 12kW.

Aside from filter coffee makers, many of the espresso machines can be wired for three phase. Pumps and controls might be wired 120V or 208V and the (usually 2) elements in the boiler can be split among the phases. Probably rare, but I've seen it.

Three phases coffee tastes so much better than single phase coffee.

Wouldn't that depend on the wattage? I like it strong.

Yes, but if the phase rotation is wrong, it will put you to sleep.Three phases coffee tastes so much better than single phase coffee.

Read the manuals. They use 2 phases of a 208/120 volt system, 120 Volts or 240 Volts - all single phase connections.

How could you know that? Do you have knowledge of every coffee maker that is made?

On large ship the rotation to the coffee maker had to be switched when crossing the equator. IF their wasn't a savy electrican or maintenance officer on board the whole ship could fall asleep.

3 Phase Coffee Machine:
Interesting that it needs 4 wire with a ground for 3 phase or single phase. I suspect on single phase one wire isn't used. Without a diagram it would be hard to know if the elements are 3 phase or as the other posted stated .

Is it 3 times better, or is it 1.732 times better?Three phases coffee tastes so much better than single phase coffee.
Is that the Jack Sprat nursery rhyme?

Page 5 of the manual clearly indicates 3 phases, plus neutral connection on 3-phase models.
Regardless of what it may use internally, the power connection required on a 3-phase model is all three phases.
Some people will try anything to not pay up on a bet

Take a look at the power output.
