In January 2023, we started making v1.44 of our DE1 espresso machine.

What's new in DE1 hardware v1.44
Black machines will come with handles made from resin.
We're removing the 3 small front screws that hold the front faceplate
A new water intake filter, switching from the off-the-shelf mesh we've always had, to our own design.
We are moving off NBR rubber, which is the standard on Italian pro machines, to Silicone Rubber, which is preferences of the Home Barista community.
Torx screw heads for all group head pars
New standby switch design, to improve clarity of how it works
