As someone who is a mostly a latte/americano drinker, would getting the Decent be a waste of money since adding lots of milk would pretty much cancel out all the subtle flavours of the espresso anyway? Would a straight 9 bar machine be a better purchase for a latte drinker?
The DE1 can still do great milk based drinks, but if you know you perhaps love the Italian style but just in a larger size then stick with the 9bar machine for now and explore flow profiling later on in your journey.😉
Lever machines would also be great. Lots of control over bloom/pre infusion and you can get excellent expresso for affordable price. Plus it will last forever. You have the cafelat robot and flair 58 are good affordable lever machines. Theirs also lots more
It's kind of confusing, because you tip the ceramic cup in two different directions when talking about in in the video. I'm assuming that the way you mean for it to be used is as you demonstrate when actually holding the cup to your mouth to demonstrate (drink from the more vertical, shorter-looking, inwardly-curved side while letting the outward-extending side hold captured scents for your nose), but when holding the cup in midair later you seem to demonstrate drinking from the other side.
Really cool to get your insights into why the drink-ware is like it is
But what about the pointed nose compare to flat noses will it affect it?
Do you also offer latte size cups? I’m seeing a video on your website indicating such but not seeing any for sale
years ago, we used to, but they broke too often in shipping!
but we're thinking about a latte sized ceramic cup...
Looking forward to it :)
