Youtubing Coffee Coach Ryde Jeavons was here at our first Decent Espresso conference a few weeks ago, where we ran the first ever espresso on our upcoming Bengle model, and Ryde got to interview the lead people on this project.
In this video Ryde breaks down what his thoughts on this upcoming new model from us.
As an aside: at the end of the video Ryde talks about a problem he had, which he blames himself for. He was fussing with the cup on the scale while the espresso was being made, causing the espresso extraction to falsely stop.
As it happens, one of the great benefits for me, of meeting customers in person, is that I get a lot of honesty, and this came up as a big problem for cafes, and why they don't use the stop-at-weight feature on the DE1.
A week after De-Con, I had a solution, which lets people fuss with their cups on the scale, for around ten seconds while the espresso is being made. Now, as long as the shot is in preinfusion, you can fuss with the cup and this won't cause the stop-at-weight feature to trigger.
