The DATA-S gives you the whole graph. A commercial-grade gear pump, driven by an app, lets you set and repeat pressure and flow anywhere from 0.1 to 12 bar in 0.1 bar steps — and then pull the same shot again tomorrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a dual boiler machine: a 1.8L stainless steam boiler and a separate 0.8L stainless brew boiler, each independently controlled. Brew temperature is set and held on its own boiler rather than borrowed from the steam side, and a saturated group head keeps the extraction point thermally stable. The steam is genuinely strong — owners report taking 10oz of milk to temperature in about 20 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a beginner's machine, and we would not pretend otherwise. If you want to press a button and get coffee, buy something else and we will happily point you at it. If you want to profile a shot, save it, share it and repeat it exactly, this is one of very few machines under $6,000 that will do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the gear pump matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVibration pumps pulse. Rotary pumps are smooth but hold one pressure. A gear pump is smooth and variable, which is what makes real profiling possible — the machine can hold 3 bar for pre-infusion, ramp to 9, then decline through the shot, and do it identically every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximum flow is 12 ml\/sec. Most vibration pump machines top out around 7. That headroom is what lets the machine hit a flow target rather than approximate it. Independent testing found the pump quiet and accurate at both pressure and flow, and noticeably quieter than a Decent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is actually inside it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where the DATA-S separates itself from machines at similar money:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGicar flow meter\u003c\/strong\u003e: A proper commercial flow meter that measures water to the group in real time, enabling accurate volumetric stops.

You build and store pressure and flow profiles, monitor brew temperature, shot timing and water usage live, get maintenance alerts, and share profiles with other DATA-S owners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImportant: the machine does not include a tablet or screen. Photographs of the DATA-S almost always show one mounted above the machine, but that is an accessory. The machine measures 370mm tall on its own; with a 10-inch tablet mounted, allow around 520mm. You can run it from a phone or mount your own tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Wendougee DATA-S Espresso Machine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Bottomless Portafilter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Precision Filter Basket, 18g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Precision Filter Basket, 21g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Backflush Cleaning Disk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote that the DATA-S ships with a bottomless portafilter only — there is no spouted portafilter, tamper or screen attachment in the box.

A gear pump delivers smooth flow that can be varied on demand, which is what allows genuine pressure and flow profiling rather than approximations of it. It is also quieter than either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does this compare to a Decent DE1?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are the two obvious profiling machines at this level. The DATA-S uses a gear pump where the Decent uses a vibration pump, and owners consistently report it runs quieter. The DATA-S also has a much larger steam boiler. The Decent has a longer track record and a deeper software ecosystem.
