We live in the age of automation. Between our smart phones and our super automatic espresso machines, we almost never need to manually control anything! Which leaves us more time for the finer things in life, like savoring our freshly brewed coffee! But with all this extra time, we can get to thinking about those things we can't automate. Cue the Crossland CC1. An excellent espresso machine complete with a built in PID and 2 liter water reservoir. But can you set it to automagically turn on and shut off? Because as we know, when the machines abide by your schedule true happiness is reached. We asked Gail if this was possible and she told us that the answer was no. The Crossland CC1 does not have a built in clock, which is required for it to be able to know when to turn on and off. Sad, we know. But not to worry! Gail also said that she has a workaround for those that crave the auto on and off feature! Check out the Ask Gail video below to find out the workaround. You might just be surprised how easy it is!
