The new v1.43 Decent tablet stand

In August, we started to make a new version of the Decent Espresso Machine, numbered v1.43. All our XL/XXL models are now in stock with this.

We still had about 200 machines of v1.42 DE1PRO to build, which is why this newer version wasn’t immediately available in the DE1PRO model.

Yesterday, I change the "choose a model" page https://decentespresso.com/model to let you choose v1.42 or v1.43, and wrote up a page about the difference. The only change is the tablet stand, and this video shows how it works.

If you’re indifferent to the tablet stand improvement improvement, you can save USD $100 by buying the v1.42 model now.

I’ve started taking pre-orders now for the DE1PRO v1.43, and they’ll ship toward the end of November.

We’ve been working extra hard since July to build up stock of machines for the Christmas season. At the moment, we have stock of all Decent models.

The barrage of news about chip and parts shortages has spooked me, and we’ve been investing virtually all our profits into building up stock of parts. We’re paying a premium, of course, but that’s much better than risking "factory slowed down or closed", which surprisingly many companies are having to do.
