14 posts held, back to 25 March 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 pageof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 14 posts for this entry, the most recent from 19 May 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
45 reactions across 9 posts, in 4 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 51.1% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.
Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.
Coverage. Reactions were read on 9 of the 14 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 45reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 14 most recent posts we hold, published 25 March 2026 to 19 May 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.
Espresso Profile Generator preview Several years ago, coffee researcher (and roaster known as "The Picky Chemist") Stéphane Ribes wrote a Decent Espresso Profile Generator, which asked questions like "roast level", "origin", what flavors to highlight, then making an appropriate profile for those beans. Amazing! However, being standalone, and needing you to import the generator file into the app, it didn't get as mu…

Miklos from Pressensor sent me this video of new features that he added to our half-decent scale. He's able now to connect to a pressure sensor that you plug into most any older espresso machine to get live pressure, flow and weight readings directly on the scale display. He tells me he entirely vibe coded it and he's going to release it publicly shortly. It's a really great example of how open source and AI Can a…

BengleWand on the DE1: our hands-on experience Our redesigned Bengle steam wand is now available as an upgrade for all our DE1 espresso machines, in 3-hole or 1-hole versions. It's also available as a customization option for new DE1 owners, at a lower price than the DIY upgrade. - The 3-hole version of the Bengle wand 20% to 30% steams faster than the default versions. - It has a non-stick tip: milk wipes clean o…
Heater capability simulator Our DE1 and Bengle espresso machine models are available with 3 different heater wattages, for a number of different worldwide electricity voltages. People have been asking us: "how fast can I heat water?" The answer is complicated without a bunch of mathematics and a physics model. So we wrote one for you. Find this simulator on our blog: https://decentespresso.com/blog/heater_capabili…
Here is the BengleWand vs DE1 steam wand test data. Default tip, vs 1 hole tip vs 3 hole tip. - Improvements range from 28% to 40% faster on XXL. - Improvements range from 27% to 35% faster on 220V XL. - Improvements range from 26% to 25% faster on 120V XL. - Note that 1 tip on XXL results in worse results. This is because the heater cannot dissipate its own heat fast enough, so it overheats and shuts itself off temp…

BengleWand is now available as a CUSTOMIZATION option for new DE1 purchases. In this case, the cost is much lower, since we deduct the price of the original steam wand. https://decentespresso.com/customize_de1?sku=DE-DE1PRO110V8-00552
BengleWand is now available as a DIY upgrade to DE1 owners. https://decentespresso.com/accessories#BengleWand%20for%20DE This is a designed-from-scratch steam wand. We were surprised to be able to find so much heat loss in the standard steam wand (we buy it off-the-shelf) and with a ball joint redesign, were able to recapture most of that lost heat and funnel it into steam. tldr: on 120V, you can expect Bengle to b…

Bengle's Dual Lever Pump Explained Our Bengle espresso machine model features a new pump of our design, which is entirely silent, has very fast flow rates (currently at 20mL/s), accurate water volume displacement volume, and super smooth flow. Here is an animation to show you how it works. We call it a "dual lever pump" because it is essentially two lever machine piston pumps, joined together. This has all the adv…

Here are examples of new pages in the app, which I put into the "ugly but works" camp. These will be cleaned up by release time.
Note: The blue line represents what the pump thinks the water flow is. The dark brown line is Bengle's internal weighing scale The thin brown line is our bluetooth weighing scale Some things to point out: internal flow estimations are now extremely accurate (blue line is very close to brown line), even at low pressure situations, which is a situation where the DE1 really struggles to provide accuracy. Bengle's inter…

I was asked on Home Barista: Hi John, June is coming up soon. Will Bengle be released as scheduled? Yes, we're on target for that. We're going into beta with Bengle in a few weeks. We're feature complete now (everything works correctly) even if some of the new app user interface elements are a bit ugly (ie, setting the external LED colors) and will be made nicer before release. Our plan is to take orders in late …

A lot of people asked us to build a Bengle model in black with walnut wood. We've made one to see how it looks. What do you think?

Showing the 12 most recent of 14 posts we hold for @decentespresso. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
Citation-graph rank — 850,983 of 1,169,250entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 7 August 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
