Most appliances are off when you plug them in.
So, even though the timer turns on at a certain time, you would still need to turn it on.

The machine does indeed have a power button.

The timer would work like the lights in your house on a timer when you go on vacation; they are switched on, but the timer switches them off, then on again at the preset times to give the impression someone is home.

In the case of the espresso machine, I would turn it on before bed, but the timer wouldn't actually let the machine turn on until 6:00 am, or whatever time the operator decided.

Does this make sense?
