Machine Overview

Both espresso machines are from the brand Decent and are classified as semi-automatic, targeting advanced skill levels. The DE1 PRO is priced at $3,599, while the DE1 XXL is more expensive at $4,399, making it a premium option. Both machines are designed for users who are already skilled in espresso preparation and seek features that support a high level of customization in their brewing process.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, both machines feature a touch screen activation system, a custom PID controlled group type, and a custom heating element. They have a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes, which ensures quick brewing readiness. Additionally, both units showcase a 2-liter water reservoir capacity and utilize a vibration pump type. Despite being similar in these aspects, they each have the potential for varied brewing experiences due to their configurability.

Features Comparison

The key features of both machines are comparable in many ways, offering a range of advanced functionalities. They both include an auto shutoff feature, boiler and steam pressure gauges, flow control, hot water access, and pre-infusion capabilities. Moreover, both machines are equipped with PID control for precise temperature management and possess a steam wand for frothing milk. Nonetheless, they do not feature an integrated grinder or overpressure valves, but they do provide smart connectivity and dual PID control in both models.
