This thing is going to be a phenomenal investment for your channel. I’ve seen some videos on the decent and man, I think you’re just simply going to love this thing!

Good investment. I got a Decent XL 2 months ago as my first espresso machine. Been learning so much already. The real time data and feedback has really helped me up my game. Even tried pour overs and it was delicious. Can’t wait to see all the content you will make with this beauty!

On my opinion, for this money, the Decent is the feature king. It might not be the most pretty or classic looking machine, but as you said, for experimenting and trying new things out it is perfect!

Absolutely awesome machine! The decent is truly a tinkerer dream. Looking forward to seeing some interesting experiments!

Wow what a coincidence, I also got this exact machine last week!!! I am pretty excited to see the king of videos you'll be doing in the future. Cheers!

Your presentations are easily the best on any channel. Very professional, in depth, and very helpful.

I love that first scene with the table rising up and the mic going out of view! Very cool!

You'll love it! I got one myself earlier this year and I think it was hands down one of the best investments I've ever made. Definitely a coffee geeks wet dream!

Congratulations! The possibilities of this machine is quite remarkable, and I am so glad for you. The default profile is the same as most espresso machine and they're great as a starting point. I bought an XL thinking that I could 'just' make a good coffee for me. Learning to dial in, via dose, yield, time and weight. After 200++ shots on mine, I came to realize that this machine actually helped me understand so much about.. coffee itself. The coffee region, roast level and also the importance of grind setting, relation of pressure and flow rate to the cup quality. For example, on a medium roast beans, I can count on a 1.5ml-2ml preinfusion stage, and a 2.5ml ish extraction stage will yield me a great tasting espresso, in which I could probably not know had I stuck myself with my Flair Pro 2. The future is also very exciting. People can make their own profile, in one instance i saw someone making what's akin to a "quality control profile". If you grind too coarse, the profile would realize by detecting a higher flow rate in the pre-infusion stage and compensates by lowering pressure (e.g 6-7 bars) to rescue the cup from becoming undrinkable. If the grind setting is too fine, the profile allows for a higher flow rate to compensate. I absolutely agree that this is a great learning machine! Please explore its versatility. And also get a bluetooth scale so you can stop automatically on weight. The decent scale is very well priced, while felicita arc and acaia lunars are known to perform well with the machine with interesting price points.

Love that case it comes in!!! 😍

Very nice machine...I was about to pull the trigger at 1st but I took into consideration some things (at least for me) like Serviceability, Ease of use, Upgradability, Customization. Finally I settled for the Profitec Pro 500 PID as it is E61, less expensive, great temperature stability, flow control, Wood finish (at a future date). But this is a very nice machine...

I unboxed my first machine last night, a gaggia classic pro hopefully in a few years I ll upgrade to a decent. Looking forward to the content you will be uploading with this beast. Hope it will bring you many subs and the investment pays off 👍

This is an amazing addition to your channel! So excited to see all of the videos you will be putting out on this machine! Congrats

I cannot recommend the Decent De1pro enough! It took me a long time to pull the trigger, I finally did a month ago and it was the best decision.

Love your content dude, keep it up!

Love it and can’t wait for the content. This is my dream machine, just haven’t been able to convince myself to pull the trigger from my BDB.

Very neat purchase, but for 4.5k and up I would have been pretty annoyed to have any DOA parts. 🙁 The experiment where you looked to see how its default profile operated had me thinking "he"s going to just have to position his head under the spout and start chugging, that's never going to stop..." It's interesting to hear the Flair 58 has led you to getting the Decent! I thought long and hard about buying a Decent a year ago, but in the end I couldn't justify the cost and have lately been thinking about something like the Flair 58 or the Cafelat Robot as a way to give me a lot of control (and with the added benefit of likely never needing maintenance). I'll be curious to watch the experiments you share on the channel!

Congrats on getting a Decent! It’s my dream machine, but way more than I would consider spending on coffee gear. I believe that Decent is truly driving espresso forward with their software and hardware innovation. The software -driven approach is for sure the future. I’m now doing a little DYI project, putting a microcontroller in my Silvia. My aim is to get temperature and pressure control, plus gravimetric dosing.

Looking forward to all the vidoes of this beast - btw. loving the face when you realise it is not stopping :D

Lifestyle Labs + The Decent DE1PRO = A Natural

Enjoyed your unboxing! :) I can feel your excitement hehe looking forward for your next videos!

This was thoroughly enjoyable. I’m subscribing. You’re incredibly real and that’s super refreshing. :))

Lifestyle Labs + The Decent DE1Pro = A Natural

Suction cup feet is a good idea for a machine that is not heavy enough to not dance on the countertop. Have seen this happen with many inexpensive home machines. Porcelain tank and tray good idea adds weight and wont rust. The Decent costs less than a Linea Mini and does much more in terms of flow/pressure stuff.

Lifestyle Labs + Decent DE1PRO = A Natural

I’m 27, i get into speciality coffee maybe 2 years ago, beginning with pour overs, and i get a Flair 58 on June this year, few months after i bought a X54, i feel so glad to having this. And i feel lucky too cause I’m 27, the flair 58 was announced at the exact same time i was looking to buy the flair pro 2, and i feel so lucky, especially thinking that what my parents or grandparents could have at the same age as mine. For now my budget is not matching that kind of machine but it is a real goal for me, since the day I’ve seen some review of the Decent Machines, i felt in love and felt the same way they announced the flair 58 for the first time. I might get it in few years maybe 5, and in 5 years, at the time where the coffee industry gives more and more innovations , i am really wondering what would be my purchased.

Looks good. Can't wait to see more videos on this!

I started with a flair and decided to upgrade to a decent espresso machine as well. I’m new to the espresso game and really wanted to learn how to pull a ‘decent’ (pun intended). The only logical way to achieve this, it appeared, was with the information provided by this machine. I’m wondering why you did not use a scale when you pulled that first shot and how the shot tasted? I’m looking forward to following you on this channel to see future videos using the decent machine. I feel this is going to be an interesting journey. Thanks for the video.

Hahaha I love your puns! And hey, you've got a Wall-E, it auto-checks itself 😂

I've bought two machines that you've recommended. As a favor to my personal finances and my marriage, I'm skipping this video. 😁 Congratulations on a great piece of kit.

great, can't wait to see more content with this machine !

Finally, machine that you deserve! Just for keeping style and quality of your videos!

If you have a tablet or even from your phone, you can load the decent app into your tablet/phone and start pulling shots from there. Check the decent diaspora for links on how to download and install the app. Hopefully that you have a spare android tablet/phone that is and not apple. The default profile is probably a 9-bar with declining pressure, but because you don't have a scale, I think the machine don't know when to stop. But since you are working blind, you could just put the cup on a scale and stop the brew accordingly to the weight you want

huh, this was the exact same path I took. I was looking for something that wouldn't feel like a downgrade from the Flair and this was really the only option when I bought it.

Looking forward to seeing more content with this, great investment! On another note, will you be reviewing the new Eureka Oro Single Dose?

Congrats on the purchase, looking forward to the upcoming videos.

Your investment already got you another subscriber. I've been watching your videos over the pandemic and have been watching a lot of Decent videos over the last few months. I think the biggest negative for me is probably the sound the Decent makes, but that isn't a deal-breaker.

I hope one day I'll be able to grab one of these! 10 years on I'm sure it'll still be running here on the channel and maybe they'll be cheaper haha. What a great machine, hopefully the tablet arrives soon so you can play with it!

Very impressive machine and great quality content! All the best to your channel growing and thriving!

Merry Christmas!. I look forward to some great experimentation with the Decent in 22

Exciting to see this and I’m looking forward to future updates. Love and peace. Tim

Nicely done!

super interesting looking machine

ENJOY!

This machine looks incredible. I'm jumping in to espresso this week with the Silvia Pro and I've got my sights on this as a reward if I stick with the craft for a while. Excited to follow along your journey with it.

Congrats Matt.

It’s a perfect choice for your channel and I hope it is profitable for you. I have a dual boiler E61, so I’m set for life. But I am looking forward to learning from your upcoming videos. You do a great job!

I've got S/N #003 of the Decent, and it has been going strong for 3+ years. Endless possibilities for experimentation and there are a lot of things I haven't tested or explored yet. One of the most interesting question I have is around temperature profiling - that is adjusting shot temp throughout a pull. I've yet to really toy with this in any great way, but I do wonder if ramping up or down the temp throughout a pull makes a noticeable difference.

You make great content! Thank you!

Congrats! You must feel like a kid in a toy store right now …. a dream machine for any engineer 😉

Looks just gorgeous and high quality. Definitely a bit different from the other prosumer machines- a welcome change actually. Have a great time with it and can’t wait to hear more of your observations. Thanks for sharing your excitement straight-away. I actually appreciate the real-life element to this video. As a human, I can relate 😆

i just ordered this exact machine. will you release a "first impressions" video soon?

I had a similar experience. My tablet arrived with a shattered screen. I let them know and they shipped a replacement which arrived in 3 days

Very cool video. Congrats on the Decent. Looking forward to your insights. Saludos, !!!

Congrats! The Decent is my end game machine. It's truly the antithesis of the past direction of espresso: bigger, more boilers, shinier. All that is great for high volume cafes that need to pull the exact same shot time and again, but get in the way for home users that want to pull 3 different kinds of shots at odd times of the day. I'll be watching your upcoming videos, jealously and working out where a Decent would fit in my small kitchen :) On simultaneous brew and steam, also something that always struck me as odd for home users. Makes complete sense for a cafe to get drinks out quick, but for a home machine with flow control, you'd need three hands to pressure profile and steam simultaneously

😂😂😂 @7:13 you think a big truck with its engine breaks on coming down hill.

My only mod is using the ECM portafilter from my Classica machine. I prefer its looks to the wooden handle on the Decent and also removed the group head handle as it's not necessary whatsoever. Not a fan of those wooden handles from Decent as I consider them ugly. My one and only complaint regarding Decent gear. Machine is now 14 months old and I've never had it so good. Lovely machine! Just started playing around with the adaptive profile and got a new tablet sent because of battery swelling. I've decided to unplug the tab from time to time to allow battery to get used properly. Not good for lithium battery to stay at 100% at all times. Tab should have better battery management software. I can go from complete shutoff on the Decent to extracting to the cup quicker than regular warmup on my ECM machine. IMO, any coffee reviewer must have a Decent machine. To not makes them dated and irrelevant. Your tab being DOA is awful!!! Should never, ever, ever happen!

biggest concern with the Decent: are you afraid of obsolescence? given the company is relatively small with a super niche audience and current global supply-chain issues example, I'd have no fear of buying a $10K LaMarzocco machine and being able to have it repaired or fixed in 5-10 years from now, but can't say the same with the Decent

I'm jealous.. there.. I said it. Honestly, if money was no object this is it for me. I'm way more of a coffee nerd looking for precise and repeatable data than fancy looking machines. For now I'll stick to my BDB until maybe one day... Looking forward to see your videos working with the Decent!

Your face says it all… Nice Christmas present 👌🏻

Hello there since you bought a decent I have a question about steam flow rate in the decent I want to reduce it to match breville bambino steam flow rate because I can't steam yet in the decent Looking forward for your decent reviews

Can feel your disappointment and anticipation! Such a bummer tablet arrived non-functional. Can’t wait to see what you create with this new machine

that computer makes me shake in my boot!!! No way!

A Porcelain Water Tank isn't such a novel idea, though .. you had at least one in your home already, before you got that beautiful machine 🙂

WoW Amazing all about it ! Hope you show us all of it soon 🦾 P.S. price in euro 3350.. not much at all !

Matt you really make a coverage!

It's gonna be a decent Christmas for you my friend

Does the machine not have a fixed water connection?

So where are all your flair 58 videos?!? I just got one and really want to see you doing some shots with it!

when brewing , it sounds like a creaky hammer drill....and the crema resembles a Nespresso

Great first impressions and bummer of a tablet. Quick question, with which grinder are you going to be pairing it?

Damn! congratulations!

Hope you do a flair 58 and Decent compare. I am looking to make my first machine purchase and the Flair 58 vs. Decent is oddly or not so oddly what I am evaluating.

When will you be doing more videos with the DE1?

This is amazing!

3400$ and the screen is dead on arrival. What a sad state of affairs in consumer products.

wheres your laptop case from? looks amazing

Please make more videos about decent espresso. Thank you

I got this machine since November 2020 and it’s still killing all other machines I know

Make sure you write this off as a business expense when filing taxes (if that’s allowed, I think it is but not sure)

I'm on the Bazaar and waiting until I have enough money to also get a discounted one :D!

Holy shit. He’s only gone and done it.

When you use the manual controls without a functioning /turned on tablet, you’re just using manual controls. So the user starts and ends the shot

Let’s just see what it does 😂

15:20. It’s not dual boiler and it’s not a single boiler either. No boiler.

Personally, I can't get over those sounds and general feel of it. So this is not for me but sure hope it serves you well.

Man I wish the tablet worked …. I want to see what this thing can do

I'm just gonna come out and say it, you look like pete from Mad Men

Question for everyone: Do someone see Decent coming with a commercial machine in the future ?

I am testing the Decent for a friend of mine. For any reason, he disconnected it for a certain period of time. Result, the tablet died itself, as yours. It is only 2 months old! Sounds for me the tablet brand Decent is using is shit and cheap quality, not to say crap. I was frustrated, as you should have been, to not know the latest setup recorded in it. So by the time I will receive the replacement tablet, this high technology machine is useless. Otherwise, a lot of fun in perspective, with a usable tablet. So, keep in mind, the tablet shall always be charged, unless it will die!! Weird isn’t it?

Is this machine not a dual boiler?

For thousands of dollars it better be Porcelain

Very disappointing that the tablet was DOA. You would think there is a check before shipping.

Good job I have seen the machine myself already as you did a bad job making it look good.

If I squint my eyes you kiiiind of sound like you could be Tim Mosso’s brother

😱😱😱

Water and drip tray seems odd

I have yet to have a decent shot from a slayer machines. Way overrated imo

Buy a Decent Pro espresso machine... Get a free suitcase 🙃

Really cringey, the fit of the water tray, the grill on top of it, the dead on arrival tablet (this is a common thing) or people need to find a powerful charger that has 2.5 Amps or more to charge it for a few hours, and other little stuff. I'm amazed you did not struggle with the on/off front button that needs to come out for the machine to circle on.
