The portafilter popped out during espresso making, and splashed me with burning water. When a barista switched from his machine to mine, he didn't squeeze hard enough to lock the portafilter in. This prototype v1.3 machine locked its portafilter sooner than the other machines (that's since been fixed in later prototypes). If it's not countersunk, the steam wand is too high up to do "hands-free" steaming.

I designed the PRO steam wand for use when the DE1XL is countersunk. After 20 seconds of pushing it along the pavement, I'd sanded 5mm off one wheel, so it no longer rolled smoothly. I didn't notice that one wheel "locked" during transport. Two machines were basically steaming constantly, while the 3rd machine pulled long Blooming Espresso shots (15g in / 50g out) - The wheels on our IKEA BROR cart of made of fairly soft plastic. Once the baristas learned the "decent process" for steaming milk, we were able to crank out many more lattes per hour, and only needed one barista, instead of two, to keep up with orders.

Because, at the end of the time, the steam turns off, but then continues making gently "puffs" of steam every few seconds, to (a) keep milk from going up and (b) keep the foam slightly circulating and thus of higher quality. Use the steam timer and steam "hands-free". there's "a process" we programmed for steaming this much milk. This moves milk up the steam wand, and slightly clogs the wand, and cooks the milk on the next steaming.

I'm running "decalcificazione" (the tablet is still running in Italian) and cleaning cycles through my 3 machines. I just ordered a 2 liter "milk cleaner" detergent bottle from Amazon. The photo above is what happens when you make that much coffee with no cleanup facilities. Post-trade show wrap-up Arrived home last night with 3 espresso machines, after making 2000 lattes in 3 days at HOST Milano in Italy.

Here is a video showing how the SEP software works with Paul Pratt's awesome robot lever machine: Choice is good! And… this will be offered for free, to all our customers. a totally different concept for machine control, written by someone else who has a very different vision from mine. Thanks Miklos for suggesting this cool idea! This will incidentally be a great example of the benefit of a “software controlled espresso machine”, i.e. It also sounds like fun, and a much more hands-on experience than our normal “the machine does it all” approach on the DE1. This would allow you to totally emulate traditional lever machines profiles that SEP has in its software.

You’d use the circular controller on our upcoming v1.3 espresso machines to manually control flow through the entire espresso shot, and follow the curves on the SEP software display.

Here is his concept: instead of running the tablet app I wrote (to control the Decent), you’d run their app (I’d pre-load it on our tablet) and that would turn the Decent into a fully manual “lever machine”. It’s a cool idea, and we’re going to make it happen. Smart Espresso Profiler, running on Decent Espresso Machines Miklos at Smart Espresso Profiler “pitched me” on their porting the Android/iOS app to work natively with the upcoming v1.3 Decent Espresso Machine.
