EspressoBot Comparison

Machine Overview

The Decent DE1 PRO is a high-end espresso machine priced at $3,599, designed for advanced users seeking precision brewing capabilities. In contrast, the Breville Barista Touch is more accessible at $1,099.95 and suited for beginners, making it a more affordable option for those new to espresso-making. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic, but they cater to different skill levels.

Brewing Comparison

Both machines utilize a touch screen for activation and share a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. The Decent DE1 PRO employs a Custom PID Controlled Group and a Custom Heating Element, while the Breville Barista Touch features a Thermoblock heating element. The portafilter size differs; the Decent machine uses a 58mm portafilter, while the Breville model has a smaller 54mm. Additionally, the water source for the Decent can be converted, whereas the Breville relies on a reservoir with a water reservoir capacity of 1.9 liters compared to Decent's 2 liters.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Decent DE1 PRO is equipped with advanced functions such as dual PID control, flow control, and a shot timer, enhancing its overall brewing precision. On the other hand, the Breville Barista Touch comes with an integrated grinder, but lacks features like flow control and a shot timer. Both machines feature a steam wand and have auto shutoff for safety. However, the Decent offers more detailed pressure gauges and smart connectivity, which are absent in the Breville model.
