Took some time to get it done, but it was worth it. Most of time was waiting for the Decent.

I use water from the machine. The portafilter I just rinse with water from the ground while I’m rinsing it off. For wiping the machine I use a microfibre cloth and water from the steam boiler. The decent doesn’t have a hot water from the steam boiler tab so you’d have to use group head water for that last part or something else I guess.
Admittedly emptying the drip tray is a little annoying. I should probably empty it more often then I do, which is probably every 2-3 days or so.

Does your Decent have the hot water spout behind the filter screen?
1
I don’t have a decent but it doesn’t have a hot water spot.

Ah, I misunderstood. Thanks

Awesome setup! Waiting because of budget, or does Decent have inventory issues similar to Niche?
2
At the time I ordered they were a little back logged. Now they have production spun up they are able to meet demand.
2
No, I ordered one today 😁👍

That’s great! Which grinder are you pairing it up with?
1
The grinder I have is a Eureka Atom 65. 65mm flat burrs. The bellow on the hopper is a must to clear any retention.
2
I have a Niche

Awesome setup! How long did it take to receive the Decent? I’ve been thinking of getting one sometime in the future, after I upgrade my grinder
2
It took about 2-3 months. But once it gets in the queue it goes pretty quick.
2
Opinions on the blow up hopper?
1
The blow up hopper is great to get that last bit of retention out of the grinder. I give I some good wacks and all the little light grounds come out.
2
I give it a month before you’re going to upgrade to a single dosing grinder.

I thought about it. Going down the route of a niche was a thought for a bit, but this works fine and makes consistent grinds.
2
What’s the scales setup you are using on the grinder?
1
I got a little portable scale and attached it to the portafilter holder. From Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089JYMRK6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_PBK563JP0599SJXB0XGE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It works well. Since I didn't get a single dose grinder this was the next best for me.
2
Ah, nice. I thought it might have been some kind of purpose built shelf. It looks great.

What's that mat that says "cafes do Brasil?" I like it!
1
looks like a cut up jute bag
edit: in fact, googling "coffee jute bag" shows that cafe do Brasil as the example image.
2
You are correct. Cut it up from a bag I got from a Sacramento CA roaster.

How lomg did you wait for the decent? Sitting on my ass waiting for the lagom before i order which apparently could be 'late 2021'!!!
1
The Decent took about 2-3 months. They are not back logged now so it will be pretty quick.
1
I love this! This would definitely help me get up in the morning and have something to look forward to

That’s a splendid Caf Lab

Look for kitchen carts on Amazon. That is what this one is.

How are you finding the decent?
The Decent Is awesome. I'm trying so many difference profiles. Extracting light roasts has been I fun exercise. Getting some real fruity Expresso. Definitely recommended.
That’s what I love about light roasts, I would love to try a perfectly extracted light roast just to see what’s possible to bring out of the beans. Definitely my dream machine.
I too would love to try a perfectly extracted light roast. I’m new to espresso so knowing that baseline would be useful. Just don’t really know how or where to get that
Yeah same. I found a semi local roaster that I might be able to buy light roast from and I’m definitely going to try. They have a really expensive espresso machine there too so I’m hoping I can get them to roast a naturally fermented bean for me and make me a perfect cup before I buy a kg…
Nice! Looks so fun to play around with
Congrats on your setup! If you really like fruity espresso I’d recommend checking out the Nu Skool Espresso profile by Dan once you get comfortable with the machine.
Thank you for the tip. I'll check it out.
