Newly revised DE1 Drip Trays

We've totally redesigned our drip tray and cover, based on the years of your feedback.

What's new?

1. the drip tray cover has two vertical bars that serve as a cup centering guide, but also greatly increase stiffness and strength.
2. the drip tray drain is now stainless steel, offered in both straight and 90º bent. It's sealed with multiple gaskets.This provides a much stronger connection than the previous design where the drain was moulded into the ceramic and the silicone drain tube could slip off.
3. besides the central hole, you can choose to have one that is offset. That gives you space to put a bluetooth scale underneath the drip tray, with a tray that comes around where you can rest your espresso cup. The central hole we've always had, prevents that idea.
4. the ceramic is made with in higher precision, high pressure mould, for better fit.
5. These upgraded parts work on all DE1 and can be bought at https://decentespresso.com/refill
