Redla Just to clarify …
As I understand it, Decent are playing around with the idea of alternative pumps but as per John Buckman’s policy of making no machine obsolete, if they do come up with a better option, it will likely be able to be retrofitted. So not a “new machine” as such. Apologies if I seem a little pedantic but thought it was worth clarifying for the sake of anyone who may be considering a Decent.
And I’ve yet to see anything from Decent Land that would have me believe that it’s any more than an idea at this point. From memory, their new group head diffuser and spacer kit took over two years to test and another six months to get to market so I won’t be holding my breath waiting for an announcement about a new pump.
While I’m here I may as well add my two bobs worth on the subject of inconsistency of pour times featured in Lance’s video. Strangely, I have had exactly the opposite experience. I know of other Decent owners who share Lance’s experience so I don’t think its a one off. I’m at a loss to explain why my machine performs with such extraordinary consistency and Lance’s later version does not. Go figure. I don’t have a clue as to why the difference but I’m following a thread on the subject in the Decent Diaspora platform so if any conclusions are reached I’ll try and remember to post an update here. Doubtless it’s also a hot topic in the independantly run Decent Discord platform so any non-Decent owners who are interested can doubtless follow the conversation there.
