Decent Espresso

Next year's DE1 model (v1.46) preview


New in this DE1 v1.46 revision:

  • black resin handles (same material and appearance as piano keys)
  • black front plate
  • the shot mirror is optional
  • internally, the “manifold” (how the water gets directed to where it should) is changing from a CNCed part that is not repairable, to a moulded part that can be repaired (ie, a bad valve can be swapped out).  The benefits of this are lower cost. Also the flush valve has changed to “normally open” (currently it is “normally closed”) which will help with longevity in café environments.  The new “All in One” (AIO) manifold is backward compatible with all previous DE1 models, and will be what we use if we need to repair your machine.
  • that's all that is new.
  • ETA August 2025.

Note that these new aesthetic parts (front panel and handles) are available to existing owners now, for purchase, if you prefer them to what you have now.
