I've toyed with the idea of a decent many times but I can't bring myself to give up the rotary pump and boilers. The interface is quite janky looking too, even with its limited customisability.
I feel like I'd prefer the mechanical options that will perhaps stand the test of time better. I have a Lelit Bianca currently so I'm no stranger to pressure profiling, but would like something with automation (like the decent or Strada) with a reliable extraction temp, really good quality dry steam and hot water on demand.
I wish I could borrow a decent for a week to try it out day-to-day and see if it beats out what I'd get in a similarly priced GS3 in the cup.
It's kind of frustrating you need to plumb the machine in with an extra kit sold separately, I don't think I'd have room the way my kitchen is laid out!
(If I had strada money, I'd make my kitchen fit the machine!)
