plugging espresso machine into timer?

floydpink · 08-07-2009, 07:48 PM

Has anyone done this?

Reason I ask is because my soon to be new machine supposedly likes a 20 minute warmup and they say to NOT pay atention to the "ready to brew" light or you won't like the results.

The main reason I want this is for early mornings when waking up 20 minutes early would not be my favorite thing to do.

I am thinking of a heavy duty 3 prong timer able to handle the 1400 watts.

Anything to cause concern?

Thanks as always for the great insight.
