edit, got that wrong: a Rancillo Silva V3 draws 1100 watts, if you have it on for 24hrs a day, that's (1100*24)/1000=26.4KWH per day. So depending on your electricity tariff, a good price is something like 10p/kwh, so it's 26.4*10 = £2.64 per day. I assume however you'd only actually have it on for at most 3 hrs a day (cost £0.33 per day), and even if you did have it on constantly, it's not constantly drawing 1100 watts as the thermostat will cut out the power once that water's hot enough.
