can a coffee machine bought in the usa work in Ireland


can a coffee machine bought in the usa work in Ireland?
I don't think a step down converter will work due to the cycle ratio??

You may need a transformer to change the voltage, but you won't need to change the frequency of the electricity supply. Check the back of the coffee machine, some won't even require a voltage change as they're made to work in either one. I'd suggest though, that coffee machines are rather cheap (especially from Tesco or Argos), so it may be worth your while to just buy a new one instead of transporting one from the US and buying a transformer.
