Running it on 240V would double the wattage (assuming you are now on 120V)
but it also would likely burn out the element.


Google or Frank would appear to be your best answer.

Been unable to locate 25 watt one. All the new ones which have little
more than half that wattage don't keep coffee hot enough for me. My
old Dazey 25 watt one did a great job, but it died. What controls
wattage? Would like to convert one of the new
lower wattage ones to 25 watts. What would I have to replace to do
that?

Never realised that coffe was such a dangerous substance!
But by the way; DOUBLING THE VOLTAGE!
Doubling the voltage (of a resistive device such as a heater) will
also double the current.
Twice the voltage and twice the current will result in FOUR Times the
wattage!!!!
Absolutely basic Ohm's Law; ....... Volts times Amps = Watts


You are confusing two equation he P=IE (power or Watts) and E=IR
(Ohm's Law, volts=current x resistance)
