A NEMA # 6-20R receptacle, for example. 'Fits nicely in regular 110V switch/receptacle box and absolutely will NOT take a regular 110 plug - one slot is turned 90 degrees.

That's what I did, plug is spec for 220, 20 or 30 amp. Cannot plug in a 110.

If you have an electric stove or oven in the kitchen you have 220V
right
there, just run another outlet off it (but make sure it is hard to
plug in
a 110 thingie.  Or you can take it off your dryer plug but you would
have
to make coffee by the laundry.  I wired up a 220V plug next to my
dryer
outlet to run a regular 12g extension cord to my compressor and
jointer in
the garage (painted red with dire warnings placarded on it).
