12 Cup Coffee Maker How Much Coffee

How much does it cost to run a 12-cup coffee maker?

I’m trying to find stats on the energy consumption of an average 12-cup coffee maker. How much energy does it use per brewing?
If possible, I need kilowatt hours so I can compute the average daily cost of running the coffeemaker twice a day for a year.
This is a coffee maker at work, so I never saw the packaging. I have looked up the brand and model number on the internet, and that information is nowhere to be found.
Sorry, I need better than just a guess. I have to compare the energy consumption of a coffee pot versus a small fridge. I have the stats on the fridge, but not the coffee pot.

You could get one of these to measure the Kilowatt hours.

Have you tried finding the power specs on a similar new one?

and fires.
