Machine Overview

Machine 1, the Decent DE1 PRO, has a MSRP of $3599 and is aimed at advanced users. In contrast, Machine 2, the Olympia Express Cremina, is priced at $3800 and also targets advanced skill levels. Both machines are categorized as semi-automatic, appealing to those looking for control over their espresso-making process.

Brewing Comparison

The brewing information reveals distinct activation methods: the Decent DE1 PRO uses a touch screen, while the Olympia Express Cremina operates via a lever mechanism. The Decent features a custom PID-controlled group and a primary heating element that is custom-built, with a heat-up time of less than 5 minutes. On the other hand, the Cremina has a single boiler with a stainless steel construction and takes between 5 to 15 minutes to heat up. Both machines have a 58mm portafilter and utilize a vibration pump.

Features Comparison

In terms of features, the Decent DE1 PRO is equipped with various advanced functionalities such as PID control, dual PID control, pre-infusion, and smart connectivity. It also incorporates gauges for boiler and steam pressure, a shot timer, and has a steam wand that promotes no burns. The Olympia Cremina, while lacking some of these features like PID control and a shot timer, offers flow control and has an over-pressure valve. It also features a steam wand, although it does not have the no-burn design found in the Decent machine.
