Key technology

Pressure profiling: user-drawn variable pressure curves during extraction; real pressure measured at the puck, not the pump
Flow profiling: adjustable water flow with automatic pressure compensation
Temperature profiling: 20°C–105°C range, ±1°C accuracy; proprietary hot/cool water mixing; mimics classic Italian commercial profiles
Tablet control: full touch-screen interface; open-source software with community skins
Real-time graphing: temperature, pressure, and flow rate displayed live; “God Shot” reference recording
Pressure range: up to 13 bar (beyond traditional 9 bar)
Bluetooth scale support (Decent Scale or compatible)
Plastic-free water path: glazed porcelain internals
Dishwasher-safe removable parts
Portable: ships with a wheeled suitcase

Purchase interest

Future equipment purchase for the project. The DE1PRO’s pressure and flow profiling, real-time graphing, and open-source tablet interface make it relevant to several project threads:

Education / Institute: the tablet display and real-time extraction graphing make the Decent an ideal teaching tool for the 601 Delaware education program — students see pressure, temperature, and flow as the shot pulls
Sensory documentation: precise, repeatable extraction profiles could serve the sensory chapter research — if the sealed tins are ever opened, a Decent machine could extract under controlled, documented parameters
The museum narrative: a Decent sitting next to the 1904 hand-drum story creates a legible 120-year arc from William Hoffmann’s bakery shack to tablet-controlled profiling
Beverages and flavor design: the DE1PRO is the entry point for a broader beverages and flavor-design practice that starts with coffee and expands into non-alcoholic beverages, botanical drinks, and flavor design with essences — the modern echo of H&H’s own Spice and Extract Department (33+ essences and extracts by 1932)
