Video: How to replace the mirror on your Decent Espresso Machine
I don't know of any other espresso machine that has a mirror on it, which helps you watch the espresso shot come out of a bottomless portafilter. This means you don't have to bend down (ouch!) to watch your espresso. Just take a step back, remain standing, and watch your espresso flow out.
Weber (and others) sell smaller mirrors that you can place on the drip tray. Those are popular, but I prefer an integrated approach.
We use a die-cut mirror, that is attached with double sided tape, and we put it on the upward-facing lip on the drip tray. The mirror edges can become degraded with time, or scratched with use. We expected that, which is why we made it easily replaced. And, as long as you're under warranty, we'll send you a free mirror lip if yours should ever become damaged (even if you caused the damage!).
This video shows you how to remove the mirror, and replace it with a new one. The process just takes a few minutes, and requires a hair drier, and a knife.
