Re: plugging espresso machine into timer?
Fwiw, I asked WLL about leaving the machine pluggedin and they don't recommend it.
They say it reduces the life of the Patsy as well as the prongs and grouphead gasket. Who knows how accurate that is...

If you use a timer just have it click on with plenty of time to warm all the brass up. 1400 watts will do it in half an hour but if you compare the portafilter temp to that of when it has been on 45-60mins you'll pull better shots. You don't want anything to reduce the temp of the water. My Oscar says it is ready in 10-12min but the shots taste like crap and even though 30min is much better 45 is prime. |

Re: plugging espresso machine into timer?
I'm sure I'll figure out a system that works best and am thinking about just leaving it on at night then shutting it off all day when I am at work.
Just noticed a typo, I meant to say Pstat, NOT patsy. I know that all the coffee shops and restaurants keep theirs on all day...
