Hi there, thanks for the message. I’m open to starting a conversation here to see where we might end up! Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Thanks

No problem regarding the late response- I’ve been away in any case.

I have 2 people who are already interested on Decent’s own forum (Basecamp) and I’m just waiting to hear back from one of them about a potential visit.

I’ll get back to you shortly when I have heard back. Is £2k your maximum offer?

 

[tj893]

Right, I’ve heard back from one of the other interested parties and they need another week before they’d be able to come by and view. Price drop to £2,100- @truecksuk if you can offer this then you could collect today or in the evenings/weekend.

Thanks

@truecksuk No reply to DMs for 3 days and I thought we were arranging to meet this weekend per your messages?

The buyer notified me this morning that they are withdrawing from the sale and so the machine is now available again. It’s all cleaned up and ready to go.

The 4 day delay leaving me hanging on what day they were going to collect this weekend and then pulling out is pretty disappointing to be honest. C’est la vie.

Hi there, yep it's still available.

Ha, funny the differing journeys that we go on with this coffee thing ey!

In the end I actually picked up a Micra late December and have been enjoying the "does one thing really well" approach. But a couple of years ago when I bought the Decent I was very much in a place where I wanted to experiment with every possible parameter and would not have even considered a machine like the Micra at the time. For me I think this recent change has come down to moving on from a big interest in playing with the process of making the coffee in combination with many different types and styles of coffee beans, to more recently an appreciation for the simple ritual of "making" coupled with the same bag of coffee for a couple of weeks at a time.

It goes without saying that both machines have given me fantastic coffee of course! I would guess you'd get good money for an almost new Micra should you decide you're interested in making a switch.

The roast of the beans is an important point- over the last 2 years I’ve gradually realised I only want to drink medium-dark. The decent excels at lighter roasts.

The steaming is slower but also very forgiving, especially with the room to position the jug however you want.

Yes the chip mentioned in the post is the only mark of significance that I can see. Whereabouts are you based? You’re welcome to drop in and have a look.
