I'm in Australia, and our power supply is 230V AC (+/- 6%) (240V was the standard before 2000, but is still within the acceptable limits). Most power outlets are 10A (max ~2300W) but I also have two 15A sockets in my house for the air conditioners (3450W - I also use one to power my coffee machine, which pulls 3200W when warming up!), and could theoretically get a 20A socket (4600W) installed. With an industrial outlet, you can get single phase power of up to 32A (7360W), but I doubt most electricians would install that for you at a house.
Oddly enough, I've got a 32A socket hooked up to a water pump. I'm not entirely sure why the electrician installed in, there's no way the pump draws more than an ampere or two.
Thanks for explaining the 240/230v difference, I'd always wondered why it existed.
And some parts of EU still actually have 220V. There's no major practical difference between 220V/230V/240V, it's just that different parts of the world came up with slightly different standards. As standardization has progressed, now all of EU is on a nominal 230V ± 6% 50Hz -- in practice the countries are still supplying their old voltages. 230 is presently 220 in Hungary and 240 in UK. Since both are within the mandated 6%, this doesn't cause problems. Eventually, as parts of the grid are serviced and replaced, it will be transformed into unified 230V.
It's a used commercial 2 group machine. I got it for less than $1000 and it makes better coffee than the $2000-$3000 automatic domestic machines in the shops.
It is a little cumbersome though (had to plumb it to a tank, etc)
