Here's a fun one that I see get asked all the time. The Linea Mini or the Decent DE1? I cover: what I like about the Linea Mini, practical differences between the Linea Mini and Decent DE1, and other miscellaneous things to think about. This is less of a conversation of which machine makes "better" coffee, but rather about what it's like to own and use these machines day-to-day.

If you wanted to know about quality of espresso, the Decent can do everything the Linea Mini can and more. You can run a flat profile on the Decent and make it taste exactly the same. So it's really a moot point to talk about quality of coffee and you realistically should compare other things. Just quick and dirty comparisons between both machines.
