Is Bengle worth it? Comparing to the DE1 espresso machine.

In this video, we compare Decent’s new Bengle espresso machine with the well-loved DE1. Both machines make the same high-quality espresso and run the same tablet app. But Bengle adds a number of refinements, conveniences, and design upgrades. Here’s a detailed look at the differences: Built-in scale Bengle: Scale integrated into drip tray. DE1: Requires a separate Bluetooth scale placed on top. Pump technology & water flow DE1: Large piston movements, more audible, slightly splashy flow. Bengle: High-frequency micro-movements, smoother flow, ~50% faster peak water output. Cup warmer & storage Bengle: Heated cup warmer for up to 25 cups, thermostat controlled. DE1: Cool top surface, not usable for cup storage. Milk steaming & thermometer Bengle: Built-in thermometer in the steam wand, plus commercial-grade steam power (as fast as 14s for a latte on 240V). DE1: Requires external milk thermometer; slower steaming times. Tablet & interface DE1: 8-inch, 1280×800 tablet, USB-A charging. Bengle: 11-inch Samsung tablet, 1080p, dual USB-C charging ports. Warm-up time DE1: ~4.5 minutes. Bengle: ~2 minutes. Water tank & refilling DE1: Porcelain tank, heavier, requires lever + back access. Bengle: Enamel-coated stainless tank, lighter, easier front access with integrated lid. Handles & finishes DE1: Black resin “piano key” handles. Bengle: Oak handles (or sculptural options on special models). Steam wand & safety DE1: Metal tip and ball joint get hot; more cleaning required. Bengle: PPS plastic tip stays cool, easier to clean; direct boiler-to-tip design removes burn risk and boosts efficiency. Adjustable feet DE1: Fixed rubber feet. Bengle: Height-adjustable feet for uneven countertops. Shot mirror DE1: Plastic mirror, adhesive, replaceable. Bengle: Polished steel mirror, screw-mounted, more durable. Grouphead & internal parts DE1: Brass grouphead. Bengle: Cast stainless steel grouphead, built-in LED lighting to illuminate espresso as it pours. Cost Bengle: ~50% more expensive than DE1. DE1: Still the lower-cost entry to the Decent lineup. Takeaway: Both machines deliver Decent’s hallmark precision espresso. Bengle adds higher-end materials, faster steaming, smoother water flow, and a more premium user experience. Learn more about Decent Espresso at https://decentespresso.com
