We also use the board only for the espresso maker. This works fine. Absolutely no objections. Only I would have liked a small light that indicates the operation. We have a small turn-off and glowing outlet retrofitted, so that we can see at a glimpse, if it is well made. Otherwise great. Supplement September 28: the switchable luminous outlet we have the plate only served about it and now found that the adjuster to the plate clamps itself and can no longer be off. I think that's a bit disappointing, after less than a month operation.
