The DE1XL shares the profiling platform of the Decent family: 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.
It ships fully assembled, in a custom-fit travel case, with no assembly needed. It can be counter-sunk into a rectangular cutout with its bracket, or simply left sitting on the countertop; either way, the electrical and water connections stay hidden behind a rear panel that opens for maintenance. The tablet stand slides invisibly into the machine, or pulls out to sit on a table.
The tank holds 2 litres, enough for about twenty espressos, and the machine can connect to either a pressurized water source or an unpressurized tank, besides running stand-alone. A full warm-up with steam ready takes 270 seconds. A timed steam function makes foam in a few seconds and lets the machine finish heating the milk automatically; the steam wand, longer than the counter it sits on, has a cool-touch body and joint. The refill kit and the countersink bracket are not included: they're bought separately. It's the version built for a clean, built-in installation, where connections don't stay in view.

Seven grams, twenty-five seconds, twenty-five millilitres: Italian espresso has a written specification, and this is it.
The same dose as an espresso, less water in the cup. No institutional source fixes its volume — so here you will only find what is documented.
25 ml of espresso and 100 ml of steamed milk, in a 150–160 ml cup. The cappuccino has a specification too.
An espresso and a stain of milk. How much milk, exactly? No source declares it — and we do not invent it.
An espresso lengthened with hot water. The amount of water is set by no standard: it changes from country to country and from bar to bar.
Double espresso, sugar syrup and ice in a shaker. It has no specification: it has a house recipe.
