The B140 brewer and our At Home brewers draw the same current and thus use the same power which is slightly below 1400 watts. UL certification requires us to state what the maximum power draw could be, and they allow a consumer product to be rated for a higher power draw than a commercial product. We chose to rate both the At Home and Commercial brewers at the maximum rating allowed by UL for a standard electrical socket. This will enable us flexibility to incorporate future changes should they be neededbut none are planned.
