Huh.

Welcome to the first of what might be several videos about a brand new espresso machine that I am very excited about.

Now, this is not gonna be an in depth review.

This is gonna be a first look at the new decent espresso machine, the D E one plus packed full of features and something I'm very, very excited about.

Quick disclaimer.

While I know the founder of Decent Well, we've corresponded over the last few months.

I paid for this machine because I want to support someone doing something very cool.

And I think this machine is doing something very cool.

I'm gonna talk about it mostly from a home breast perspective.

It is by no means particularly cheap, though for the future said you get I'm not sure there's anything quite a the same price point.

Well, what's interesting about machine?

Well, first and foremost, it is run from an android tablet that you have on top of the machine on.

This is exciting, because for me, the phrase software is eating the world is very true.

You know what you can do with software enables Maura, Maura, Maura, from hardware.

If you can create a software update.

You can unlock new features.

You can take feedback from your community, and you could improve the hardware through updating software.

So that's one aspect of this very excited about.

Secondly, that tablet provides a totally unique graphical display of what's actually happening during your espresso shot.

That, to me, is kind of mind bending and the thing that I'm pretty excited about and really, really want to get into now this machine is capable off pressure profiling.

But that's not necessarily the super interesting part of that.

What this machine also does is it.

Measures float now.

Flow is a function off pressure and resistance.

You can have a load of pressure, but if you've got a lot of resistance in that coffee cake, your coffee cake is very fine, very hard, so tightly packed together, your flow will be very slow, and in fact, lower pressures may produce a higher flow because they weren't compact.

The cake as much here for the first time, we have during the shot a graphical representation of flow so you can start to see what's happening when you change pressure.

You can see what happens if you use a different grinder.

How does the flow changed during the shot?

You could see something like a channel form in that flow data.

His ray gets more exciting.

We've worked out, I think, increasingly, that the thing you should be controlling an espresso is not necessarily the input variables but the output variables.

In the past, we had Volumetrics to control the size of an espresso shot on a volumetric, controls the man of water sent towards the puck into the group and input.

But that doesn't correlate exactly with how much water ends up going through the coffee and into the cup.

More recently, we've been doing stuff like measuring the weight of the liquid espresso and controlling that, which is kind of an output variable.

Now, pressure has long been input variable, and manipulating the pressure has has had an effect.

Unquestionably, though I would argue, I'm not sure I've had notably better espresso from manipulating pressure.

What's really interesting here is that this machine will allow you to control fluff.

It will make the necessary pressure adjustments tohave the flow that you want happen during your espresso shot.

This is controlling an output, and this is totally new In theory, if a channel opened up in your espresso in, the flow increased because there was less resistance.

The pump here would reduce the pressure, potentially allowing channel to close before bringing that pressure back up, because for a second your flow got too high.

So it pulled back on the pressure, This sort of stuff, we don't really know too much yet.

There's a few people around the world experimenting with this playing with this.

But right now, this is why this is just a quick first look.

As for the machine itself, it's not huge, actually, a pretty small machine, and it's also pretty light.

One nice little detail on here is the second handle, allowing you to hold the machine while you lock in the porta filter without necessarily dragging your machine across the counter.

That's a nice little detail to me.

It plugs in.

You have a water tank underneath the machine.

There will be a plum diversion in the future.

This one is just tanked, however, doesn't matter to me.

I'm pretty happy with it, especially because I can move it around.

Oh, on on that front, this thing comes in a flight case that's just obscene.

That's amazing.

This comes in a custom made phone cut out suitcase.

You can just drag around the place that that from the moment you get this is pretty exciting.

And I've already used mine to drag it around London between different spaces.

This machine is steam capable.

Also, it's perfectly capable of steaming milk drinks, though I think it's probably the investment of someone who desperately loves espresso.

Chances are, though, if you have it this at home.

Someone in the household may also want good milk drinks, and this is more than capable.

Like I said, I will be doing a deep, deep dive on this thing in the future when I spent a little bit more time with it.

If there's things that you want me to test, if there's things you want me to look at, leave a comment down below and I will try and build it into my friend test of this thing.

I'm excited to dive into a machine in a whole new way, and so this is gonna be a really fun, uh, espresso machine for me to get to know that will be more again soon.

Thanks for watching be.
