Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Decent DE1 PRO, is a high-end semi-automatic espresso machine priced at $3,599, targeting advanced users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo, is a more budget-friendly option at $449, designed for beginners. This significant price difference reflects the varying capabilities and skill levels associated with each machine. While the Decent brand focuses on professional-grade equipment, Gaggia aims to make home brewing accessible to novice users.

Brewing Comparison

Regarding brewing capabilities, the Decent DE1 PRO is activated via a touch screen and features a custom PID controlled group. It has a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes and utilizes a custom heating element. On the other hand, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo employs a rocker switch for activation, with a heat-up time ranging between 5 to 15 minutes. Its single boiler system is made of coated aluminum, providing a different heating experience compared to the Decent machine's advanced heating features.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Decent DE1 PRO boasts advanced options such as PID control, flow control, pre-infusion, and a shot timer, alongside a steam wand with no-burn technology. It also includes smart connectivity, making it a versatile choice for users seeking precise control. Conversely, the Gaggia Classic Pro Evo lacks many of these sophisticated features, operating without PID control or a shot timer but does include a steam wand. Despite its simplicity, it does have essential functionalities like a hot water option and solid build quality, suited for beginners.
