Decent Espresso DE1XXL
CoffeeSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The DE1XXL shares the DE1XL's chassis — same dimensions, 23.2 x 40.2 x 42.9 cm, and the same 13.4 kg weight — but carries a stronger steam element, 2200 W versus the 1500 W of the DE1XL and DE1PRO, wired for 220V only rather than the 110/220V dual option on the other models.
That extra power translates into more than halved stated times: full warm-up in 178 seconds versus 270 for the DE1PRO and DE1XL, and a three-hole steam tip (versus the single hole on the other two) for faster milk work. Otherwise, the DE1XXL inherits the full Decent software platform: a flow profile drawn by finger with pressure auto-adjusted to follow it, puck-saturation detection, and pressure that goes up to 13 bar.
Like the other DE1XL-family models, it can be plumbed to a pressurized or unpressurized water source, or left stand-alone with its 2-liter tank. The manufacturer does not specify pump type, portafilter diameter, or group type.
