The coffee maker I just received has a European plug, I am in the US. If I change the plug will it work on the lower voltage?

No, the European model is set up for 220 volts, US 110 household voltage will not be sufficient to allow for proper heating of the water and pump operation.. best to return the unit if you are able, exchange for a US model or give or sell yours to a friend going to europe!!

Dont think so, the whole machine needs to be on the american voltage, sorry

I was curios if you were able to resolve your problem? I'm in the same situation. I got this machine from Europe last week. I tried three different converters, no luck.

It is 110 v unfortunately iv had two and bot have quit working within a month. Amazon will not do anything about replacement or refunding my money and the manufacturer will not warranty the coffee maker. I would stear clear of this as I believe there are issues with this coffee maker. Bob Hinkle

Yes, the 3rd rounded plug is the ground, but I would assume your using the coffee maker in the kitchen which would be on a ground fault circuit anyway.

Have no idea? Mine works perfectly.Have you read the instructions? Are you using it with the adapter when using the old K-cups?

They may have a 220V version, but mine is setup with a 110V USA style line plug. Since 110V is less than 220V a simple 220-110V adapter, designed for your particular country, should be quite adequate to power the coffee maker. You can find these on ebay for $3-4 US.

I don't believe it is. If it 240 compatible, most companies will include the adapter and there wasn't one with this coffee maker.

I believe all of the plugs are universal--take your "coffee plug" to a store that sells coffee pots and see if it fits the different brands on display--if it doesn't fit, contact the company--Good Luck!!

Hi. I am English and have owned a Nespresso machine for 4 years and it is 220V. However I ordered one from Amazon.com (USA site not UK) for my son who lives in Texas and it has a US fitting. Hope that helps. Nespresso have a good website which you could contact for more information. Once you have drunk Nespresso coffee you will never enjoy coffee anywhere, ever again, believe me!! Good Luck, Jane Bond

If it looks similar to the one that you are trying to replace, then it will probably work. If it doesn't work, you can return it. I have found that it works with a number of brands of coffee makers.

Hello, I do not recommend buying that coffee machine at all, mine burnt out after 2 months of careful use. But if you still decide to make the purchase, make sure they send it to you with the right plug (or you get an outlet adapter), and compatible with the power in UK (220 V) versus 110V in USA ( a transformer/adapter will do the job). Good luck!

No, these do not change the voltage. They are just adapters to make the American plugs fit the foreign outlets. You would need a converter, as well, to change the voltage.

No, it will not MAKE coffee - it is only to keep coffee hot. Furthermore, you will need a voltage adapter to use this outside U.S. Having lived in Germany for several years, I found that our "little useful things" need a lot of help in Europe.

It looks identical, but the insides are different: it is made to run on 220 volts, which is what comes out of European outlets, twice the 110 volts coming out of US outlets. The plug is also a different size and shape. You can get an adapter to take care of the plug problem, but I'm not sure the machine will run properly on half the voltage. I made the mistake of ordering the machine without realizing it was a European model, but returned it after being advised that US voltage levels would be insufficient. It's too bad because it is an elegant design and nice size.

I am using mine in argentina To convert 220 to 110 and i have plug the coffee make to it. I do not know how many kw my coffee maker uses.

Mate; not sure what a UK socket is(should have paid more attention that one time in London...), so I'll go about it by saying the plug has 3 prongs: two flat blades and a third round one. The coffee machine works well and quickly.

The unit operates on 110 volt and will not run on 220 volt without blowing the machine. You would need to use a different power supply or transformer/converter. Additionally, different parts of Europe have adopted different standards regarding the configuration or type of plug. Perhaps a call to the manufacturer could be of some help regarding the European voltage/plug configuration.

Probably not, Nadine, unless your coffee maker is designed to operate on 240 volts. If it is, fine, but I expect your coffee maker needs only 120 volts, in which case 240 volts would likely blow it out. Also,if you will be plugging your coffee maker into a standard household receptacle--which I expect you are--this timer won't work anyway; 240 volt plugs and receptacles use a different prong arrangement. What I believe you need is the 110/120 volt version of this timer. CdeV
