    Timers are a good workaround for most people with a machine that takes a while to heat up. But they don't help in the scenario where the machine, for whatever reason, doesn't happen to be on and you want a coffee asap. That's where a faster heat up time is a useful feature and a perfectly valid item for the wish list.

    An E61 will add some time to the heat up as will a heat exchanger. So a machine with an group head that's integrated with the boiler - either single boiler or dual boiler (eg Profitec Pro 300) will heat up pretty fast.

      I am so looking forward to having this problem when my Breville BES870 finally kicks the bucket. However, there is no indication of imminent failure anytime soon ;-(

        Yes Single boiler lelit or similar is good to go within a couple of minutes and can be accelerated using steam function.

        Not wise to put a single boiler on a timer incase you forgotten to prime and it burns out the element.

        Cheers

          Don't wait, upgrade now. Life is too short for average coffee! Or at least that's how I justify all of my ridiculous coffee purchases

            My first BES870 died after three years but being in the country and finding out about the long warm up time of the machines favoured in most postings I got another but with extened warranty. It came down to when I get up, did I want to go and turn the ubeaut machine on and then attend to toiletries, or turn on the appliance machine that worked to my requirements when I wanted my coffee. Yes, it is a consumer appliance but a very convenient one that works for me. As for what it produces, use great beans you get great coffee, put crap beans in you get crap coffee. I think the beans are more important than the equipment.

              I recently purchased a Bezzera BZ10 which has an electrically heated group head, it gets up to temp within 7 - 10 mins.

              I wouldn't say heat up time was a deciding factor however it did play a part in my decision. I'm extremely happy which my purchase

                I ended up getting the Profitec 300. So far I'm quite happy it
