‘Ultrasonic espresso’ made with cold water and high-frequency sound waves uses less energy than the traditional version – and taste tests show it’s just as good.
Depends what context. For environmental reasons it’d be a negligible impact, but every bit counts. From a business like Masters Coffee Chill probably a nice little boost to productivity by swapping ongoing electricity costs for a one time capital allocation and 25% the ongoing cost for brewing than before.
I suppose for matketing 'green’credentials its technically useful as well, but you’d not design a whole campaign around it otherwise you’d leave yourself open to credible allegations of greenwashing.
Is coffee-brewing energy use even remotely a concern?

The cost of brewing includes the machine cost over its lifetime. The electricity cost is near zero.
