The DE1PRO extends the Decent profiling platform with components sized for continuous duty: upgraded internally to handle thousands of shots with steady consistency and reliability. Like the rest of the platform, you draw the desired flow with a finger during the shot and pressure adjusts itself to follow it, up to 13 bar for anyone working with finer grinds; a sensor detects on its own when the puck is saturated and triggers the actual shot.
The tank holds 2 litres, enough for about twenty espressos, and the machine can be plumbed straight into the water mains with the optional connection kit, or left stand-alone with its own tank. A full warm-up with steam ready takes 270 seconds (135 if only coffee is needed). The shower screen is of a higher grade.
The rear panel leaves the electrical and water connections visible, and the brushed-steel front panel with its mirrored lip lets you watch the shot pour while standing, handy with a bottomless portafilter. The machine is warranted for 200,000 shots: it's the version built for continuous, not occasional, use.
