My concerns when previously looking at Decent machines in particular the DE1 were a lack of UK repair agent and the general longevity of the machine. There is absolutely no doubt it’s geek heaven.
Anyone been to London Coffee Festival today, or planning to over the next few days?

Yeah longevity is a valid concern. My gaggia class D was manufactured in 2006, had god knows how many previous owners and it lived until 2022 before it became uneconomical to repair. Touch screens become redundant every few years...
I'm driving from Glasgow to London tomorrow. A chap who is making me a custom tamper is going to be there, thought it would be nice go say hello to him but I also can't be arsed with traveling into proper London. If I can be bothered, I might have a nosey on Saturday.

Whatever I buy is going to be situated in Singapore, and I have no idea what that's going to be like for repair/parts. There are a lot of the usual suspects there in terms of big Italian machines in cafes, but whether that translates to support for domestic machines I do not know.

This is a good point that I hadn't considered. I agree that you can see more of what the money has went into with the Decent compared to a La Marzocco Linea or similar.
