Important information about your Decent gear
This page provides essential technical guides for Decent gear. Key topics include maintenance tutorials (like changing puck rake needles), and how to power the portable pitcher rinser with a battery.
1. How to power your Decent Portable Rinser with a battery
Source: How to power your Decent Portable Rinser with a battery
The Decent Portable Rinser can be powered off-grid using standard 18V power tool batteries (like Makita, DeWalt, or Milwaukee). Since the rinser requires a steady 12V DC input, the setup involves three key components:
1. 18V Tool Battery: A rugged, rechargeable power source most users already own.
2. Voltage Adapter: A "DC-DC step-down" or "buck" converter. This device clicks onto the battery and converts the 18V output down to the required 12V.
3. DC Cable: A cable with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm male barrel plug to connect the adapter to the rinser's power jack.
Critical Safety Note: Never connect the rinser directly to an 18V battery, as the excess voltage will destroy the pump. When shopping for adapters, ensure they are rated for 12V/3A. This setup allows for professional-grade pitcher rinsing at festivals, markets, or outdoor events without needing a wall outlet.
2. How to change the needles on your Decent Puck Rake

To replace needles on a Decent Puck Rake (V1 or V2), follow these steps:
1. Disassemble: Twist the metal base anticlockwise to separate it from the wooden handle.
2. Remove: Push old or damaged needles inward (use tweezers if needed).
3. Install: Insert new V2 needles until the heads sit securely in the base.
4. Reassemble: Screw the base back onto the handle.
Note for V1 owners: V2 needles are 4mm longer. You must either replace all needles for a uniform length or trim the new ones with pliers to match your existing set.
3. How to keep your milk jug nice and scratchless

To keep your milk jug looking pristine and scratch-free, follow these essential care practices:
Cleaning: Avoid using abrasive sponges, steel wool, or harsh scouring pads on both the interior and exterior. Hand wash using a soft microfiber cloth, warm water, and mild dish soap.
Handling: Prevent scratches by avoiding contact with metal utensils—use silicone or plastic spoons if stirring is needed.
Storage: Store the jug separately or on a soft mat rather than stacking it directly inside or against other metal tools, which can mar the surface finish over time.
4. Making height adjustable feet for your DE1

This guide shows where to source height-adjustable feet for the Decent Espresso (DE1) machine. Adding these modified feet allows users to easily level the espresso machine on uneven countertops, ensuring proper water flow and optimal espresso extraction while maintaining the machine's aesthetic appeal.
