I’m only on my 2nd manual machine, but everything you say makes a lot of sense. I hope to one day be able to dial any kind of coffee bean in; my goal is to let the bean express itself - what I smell when I open the bag is what I want to taste in my cup. The flexibility the Decent machines offer is certainly enticing.

what's the right amount of milk?

Ich benutze einen Hammer und haue kräftig von unten drauf. 😂

why does that decent next to John have a vertical USB port and no AC cut off switch? prototype?

Sehr schön! ich arbeite gerade an einem Rest api für meine decent in Rust. Damit möchte ich dann alternative UIs bauen, die überall laufen und nicht nur auf dem android tablet. Ist wirklich ein erfreulicher Nebeneffekt, dass dieser computer nebenher auch kaffee produziert 😊

I can't believe I watched this whole thing but honestly I was at the 7 minute mark and next thing I know it's over lol. Great video, very informative, thank you. I'll be gentler with my portafilter going forward.

Many Thanks for such a content you made👌👌

Some narration would be nice ..

u are a savior my gasket was impossible to get out

Still think the 2 versions below the XXL should come with 2-3 holes on the steam wand. Upgrading soon and this machine is high on my list. But still using a single steam wand hole on a machine over 2k,kinda want to expand both my espresso shots and my micro foam.

Decent started a trend. Now other mod makers for other machines now bringing out similar sysyems to add to espresso machine's and yes I'm eyeing this machine as my upgrade and final machine. So many ways to adjust everything is like having multiple espresso machine's types in one unit.

Lol. Gonna tell my friends about my new egg cooking machine I got.

God damn, this thing is build as I would like it to build when I would think of concept for building something like this. I am impressed.

Did you perhaps mean "Milk flavor" instead of "coffee flavor", in regards to your comment about above 63 degrees C?

Curious, the reliability and longevity of decent is undisputed but is it an "appliance" (really good quality one) or is it an actual "machine"? Because from my understanding of the differences between the two, it seems like an exceptionally well made appliance?

why not resistance profile? shouldn't there be added pressure during the bloom, just a little?

My settings is a litle bit different from yours. Just wanted some clarification on this, so if I set the flow slower, it will give me a heavy body (towards bitter side) and vice versa. Is it correct? And how do I know if the flow is 'correct' or not?😅 Btw this is such a great video 😊

May i ask what preset settings you use and can it be used for different coffee beans as well? Thank you😊

I received mine last week (you’re almost up to 10K machines, I’m guessing). I made something decent on the third try. That third try was the third espresso I’ve ever made. I’m even more stoked after watching this video. The ultimate tinkerer’s machine that can also make espresso a few minutes after it’s turned on. As simple or complex as you want. Love the passion you guys have. Keep it up!

It looks identical with and without the spray

Thank you so much. This saved my life

I was able to change the intake filter without flipping upside down.

Butter? Now you need to apologize to all the Italians.

Mmmmm. Just went to your shop and only the black handle version listed. No info at all on any other options.

Good stuff. I’m a little surprised by some of the slightly angry comments. Hmm. Ah well. Keep going and solidify your long term legacy 👍

Half Decent scale - progress?

I saw you were making aha,f Decent scale. Great idea. Any progress?

Excellent changes. The standby switch caught me early on and I WAS upset and bemused by my otherwise wonderful machine. Thankfully you sorted my problem. Continue the great work 😊👍

Quick question are you using the XXL for this demo or the XL ( ie stronger steam wand ) does it matter ? Many thanks !

Did I hear it wrong when he says “…we’d rather not have any plastic in the water path…”?

No beggars, I subcribed.

where to purchase? Link please

Every, and I mean every device being constantly on power will kill the battery, no matter the brand or the operating system. It's in the nature of the batteries, and it doesn't matter what type they are - they'll degrade much faster than if they have charge/discharge cycles.

Absolutely awesome engineering and build quality. As a hobbyist DIY maker I can only imagine the years of hard work and many thousands of hours of R&D and prototyping required to get the machine to this level. Thank you for sharing!

it’s fishy cause your machine is dirty!!

Have you tried adding in some fresh ground espresso grounds into the ice cream to see how that affects flavors and/or adds a little texture and flavor punches?

Thanks for your efforts but it’d be much informative if you include a demonstration on an actual espresso machine instead of keep talking talking the whole video

Appreciate the indepth reasoning for the design change!

My steam wand is relatively cool, but the tip is always hot to the touch. Is that normal or a sign of an accidentally pulled out inner tube?

hello, need help please. what should i do if it didn't connect the light is yellow i don't know how to make it work

OMG... 4 seconds. We need before and after AT LEAST

Hey, thanks a lot for the video! One more question - how to properly clean the brass part which cannot be removed? Just with a wet towel? Thank you!

Your final design is half sickle half briault probe which is made by dental companies (eg Briault Probe - Double Ended by Aksim Surgical for £4)

Once again John you’ve concisely explained to us how to take care of our machines! It’s obvious this is a labor of love on your part and we thank you!

“It’s not going to let you make a bad espresso.” -legendary

For the people complaining that they can't afford a Decent machine are the very same people who buy a new $1500 iPhone each year, drive expensive cars, eat out at restaurants, go to the movies, have several paid streaming services, go to the barbers, shop at designer stores and pay high rent to their landlord..

you can literally do a great shot on a $30 dollar espresso machine..
