Six years with their Decent; still hates the noise every morning but isn't interested in any other machine.

“I own mine for over 6 years and I still hate the noise every morning”

Loves their Decent: fast heat-up, great espresso, flexible pressure and temperature, easy pour-over and brew by weight; better than the Brevilles, Gaggia and Rocket they had.

“I love mine. Heats up really fast, great espressos, you can play around with pressure and temp to accommodate challenging beans”

Couldn't be happier with their DE1XL; quickly settled on a few favourite profiles.

“Others have captured it well, but I went with DE1XL for slightly faster steaming times and couldn’t be happier.”
positive

Five years with their DE1; the only issue, a swollen tablet battery, Decent fixed for free, and they love the saved profiles.

“I have had the DE1 for 5 years. The only issue i had was the battery swelling in the top tablet and decent replaced it free with a batteryless tablet.”
positive

First day with their new Decent: very impressed, and the steaming power is far beyond their previous machine.

“Mine came in yesterday. So far I am very impressed.”

Owns a DE1Pro but would buy a Fellow Espresso Series 1 today, citing faster heat-up, nicer design and a quieter shot.

“I have a DE1Pro, my friend got the Fellow. If i was buying right now I'd get teh fellow”

Moved from a modded Silvia to a Decent DE1 Pro, which still makes great coffee and is fun as a gadget.

“Got bored and bought a Decent DE1 Pro. Made great coffee (still does). I like the gadget aspect”
positive

Owns a Rocket R58 and a DE1XL, loves both but uses the Decent most of the time.

“I have 2 machines, Rocket R58 acquired in 2018 and Decent DE1XL since 2021. Love both machines but I’m using the Decent most of the times”
positive

Owns a Decent (plus a Meticulous and a lever, after E61s and a GS3) and finds the Decent's ultra-light profiles a big positive difference; no issues in over a year.

“Big positive difference - especially with the ULC profile on a Decent that does dramatic temp drops mid-shot. It’s magic.”
positive

Moved from an E61 to a DE1 Pro: compact, nicer in person, metal body with dishwasher-safe tanks, and easier, more repeatable shots.

“I shared some of your concerns before moving from an E61 to a DE1 Pro, and I can say that it looks a lot better real life.”

Owns a DE1 Pro and says it is all metal apart from the touchpad, though the water tank could be enclosed.

“Decent is not plasticky. It is all metal except the touchpad at the grouphead. I own a DE1 Pro”
positive

Has had a Decent DE1 for five years, finds it great fun and would buy another over any other machine.

“I also have a Decent Espresso DE1 and would happily buy another one over any other machine in the market. Had it 5 years now, it's great fun.”
positive

Loves their Decent: uses one of two profiles most of the time, easy to set and forget, and uses its shot data to adjust the grinder.

“I love my decent. 90% of the time I use one of two profiles. It's easy to set and forget.”
positiveeasy to use

Owns a Decent and values the presets and easy, accurate control of temperature and pressure through the shot.

“There a bunch of presets and you simply just tap one to try it out.”
positive

Makes three or four milk drinks every morning on their Decent and it does great.

“I make 3-4 milk drinks every morning on my decent - it does great.”
positive

Their new Decent DE1 Pro makes an odd noise that they've got used to.

“Noise is weird but you get used to it.”

Their Decent DE1Pro was worth every penny.

“I have a DE1Pro and it was worth every Penny.”
positive

Their Decent DE1Pro is everything they hoped: fantastic build, endless options and incredible espresso.

“I went with the De1pro and let me tell you, it is hands down everything I was hoping it would be. Build quality, fantastic.”
