Well, the wife is a little frustrated that I have even more countertop space taken up, but I received my v1.0 decent DE-1 yesterday. Just using the basic settings right now, but have got a couple of good shots out of it already. Was worried that i wouldn't like the tablet controls, but so far so good.
 
Good thing they named their machine the decent and the decent pro...
They coulda gone with the decent model as the flagship and then released a defeatured little brother: the halfway decent... 😝
No but seriously, pics or it didnt happen 😉
 
Big day today. Sold Miss Silvia and a mazzer mini. Put in a deposit on a KafaTek flat max. Talking to a potential buyer for the HG-1, and another potential buyer for the other mazzer mini.
 
how are you liking the new machine?

Recently thoughts of upgrades have started to pop into my head on a regular basis. I think the Rocky may need some regular maintenance too. it's been 10 years of daily service without any TLC.

Definitely new burrs for your rocky, I put that off on mine for way too long.

...but you can also do way better than that for a grinder now.
 
Oh, and to answer the question, I love the DE-1. Better more consistent espresso and more convenient switching between steam and brew.
And I have barely scratched the surface with what it can do.
 
what did you settle for on the grinder?
Not settled yet. When I get the KafaTek flat max, that will be it, but that won’t be for at least a few months. I’ve been using the HG-1, but I think I’d like to sell it now,so I’m going to try the Baratza vario this morning and see if that will hold me over until I get the KafaTek.
