Best of: Inside the DE1 Zoom call

My assistant Ihti has chopped out the best parts from our recent 2 hour zoom call “Inside the DE1”

If you don't have 2 hours available to watch the entire video (grin) here are 5 short-and-to-the-point videos that will get you the best from that conversation:

2 pumps for accurate temperature : John shows how the “water mixing” system in the DE1 works, with superheated (110ºC) water in one path, mixing with room temperature water.

The early designs: Along with first Decent mechanical engineer Brad Larson, John shows the early designs of the DE1 and their evolution.

Why was the flow meter was removed? : For 4 years, the Decent espresso machine had a flow meter in it. Now, with v1.4, it does not.  Why not?

Will you ever include a boiler? : John explains why Decent will never use a boiler to make steam, and why he thinks that's the right decision.

Are we working on a vibration dampener? : Decent uses “vibratory pumps” and we've previously announced we were researching dampening their sound with “vibration dampeners”.    We've given up on that approach, and here we explain why.
