Cuprajake Well, I watched it. Compared to other reviewers style, he seemed to take this one quite seriously and I enjoyed it. He made me see the Decent in a whole new light. It is still a Marmite machine but I appreciate what it can do now.

Are there any other Decent owners on here apart from you Jake?

Cuprajake

think theres three of us, maybe four now @Grahamsphillips has one

they are marmite as you say, and before i got one i was quite critical of the machine, the sound and the sale method, but you cant argue they stand by the product, listen to customers and the support is probably the best in the business.

theres also this i posted the other day

I am sure I would prefer a decent espresso machine to Marmite any day.

Can’t stand the brown sticky messy stuff!!

Anyway, it’s not me You need to convince to buy a decent. It’s my wife.

I had more chance of buying an MC6 😎

Cuprajake I have had one for 18 months or so.

Similar to you I was initially very sceptical, then less sceptical and now I am a total convert!

Interestingly my children happily use the decent and find it intuitive/natural because of the table. My wife was more comfortable with the bianca so there is a generational difference (at least in our house!).

Am assuming there is a likely itch which may have be addressed some time in the future. If one of those grinders were to go, this may tuck into the place nicely. Perhaps, for decaf or as an add on 😂😜🫣

Have a good week end!

I was very close when they had that clearout of cosmetic seconds last year, but wasnt brave enough 🤭🥴

Adrianmsmith With the high-command approval assumed in place, hope you get another opportunity. Haha.

The name and the design are not to my tastes at all. I think the current Decent looks far far better.

It just looks a bit awkward to me. I say this as a designer, it feels ‘over designed’.

I really like the current one, it feels more considered and resolved.

Each to their own though.

Where did that name come from??

quick run through - showing its not as complex to use as you think, even when editing profiles

I’d be interested in how many people’s partners/non-coffee nerds use their coffee machine and what that machine is. I also have a DE1 and my wife uses it every day. She would balk at an E61 mainly due to the fact the DE1 is gravimetric and stops both the shot and the milk steaming at the right time without her having to do anything.

Mine will happily do a low-effort pourover but not espresso. I don’t think it’s the machine though rather just a lack of interest in learning.

She’s an interior designer and interestingly the Decent and the LM are the only ones she actually likes the look of rather than the ‘chrome boxes’ as she calls them.

I’ve always thought the Decent is nicely designed enough to appeal to ‘non coffee’ people given its smaller size and inoffensive looks.

Cuprajake

my mrs used the bianca and the decent, she wouldnt use the evo at all.
