The DE1+ is a digitally controlled espresso machine: you set water pressure by drawing the desired flow with a finger during the shot, and the machine adjusts pressure automatically to hold it. The same platform reads real pressure at the coffee puck, not just upstream at the pump, and a sensor detects when the puck is fully saturated to trigger the actual shot. Pressure reaches up to 13 bar, beyond the traditional 9, for anyone working with finer grinds.
It's built for up to 10 espressos a day, backed by a 10,000-shot warranty. Warm-up stays under 5 minutes, and once ready it can pull one shot after another with no pause, with steam available right after each shot.
The platform shows flow, pressure and temperature live for every shot, and can stop brewing automatically once a set water volume has been reached. It's the version for anyone making just a few espressos a day, ten at the most.
