Each baseboard heater will draw a little over 4 amps at 120 volts or 2 Amps at 240 volts. The total number of baseboards on a circuit will draw the sum of these amps. Keep the load under 80% of the amperage rating of the breaker.

#6 wire is needed. If placing the subpanel in a garage at a good distance, it is recommended to also install a seperate ground rod .
A 1450 watt coffee maker will use around 13 amps at 110 volts.
Electrical breakers are sized by the conductor that is connected to it. The conductor is sized by the current that is drawn by the circuit. The formula for amperage is I = W/E. Amps + Watts/Volts. 325/120 = 2.7 amps. A #14 copper conductor is rated at 15 amps. This is the minimum size wiring that is used for house circuits loads. The breaker for this size wiring will be a 15 amp breaker.
A 12 gauge wire can support a load of approximately 2200 watts.
1/2 watt (In theory you could use a "0.27 Watt" resistor, however there would be no safety factory and there is no standard value resistor that size.)
