Bravo Tamper vs Force Tamper - what's more foolproof?
I have used both and have a Bravo which I think is better. Lots of recent discussion on this at the Decent diaspora and recent testing shows Bravo is better. YMMV

Demonstration class on Decent Espresso DE1+
I took the class for that same reason and will be ordering a DE1Pro soon. The class is a one-on-one two hour class with Paolo, the founder of Regalia. There is a presentation with lots of hands on the machine by the student. He has both a Peak and EK to use with the machine. I got

Comments on Decent Espresso DE1+ Review
Nice write up so far. Looking forward to reading the rest. For those of you in the NYC area, I recently took a great class on the Decent at Regalia Coffee in Long Island City. It was fun to play with the machine for a few hours, and the class provided lots of information useful

Grumpy and Sweatleaf are a must. I wouldn't bother with Gorilla

Help me to love the Versalab M3

I've noticed some of these clumps on my M3 as well. I don't get it every time and the clumps break up easily when I tap the PF to settle the grinds. Doesn't seem to affect my shots-- not like the clumping that I experienced with my Rocky pre-WDT
