H10A - 58mm Espresso Machine, Stainless Steel Body with Milk Frother, Customizable Settings, Smart Display + 20 Bar Pressure Gauge.

I've been using the H10A for a week and it's been a fantastic, powerful little machine. I’m using the H10A machine as an upgrade from the Hibrew H10B, which was a great mini version of this machine with a 51mm portafilter so I was already familiar with the simple design language and features. The H10A is an affordable espresso machine that offers some premium accessories and features that normally come standard on more expensive, higher end machines. This is a 58 mm group head so this machine gives you access to a variety of espresso accessories that smaller 51mm machines typically don’t have. It comes with a solid tamp made from metal and wood that is lightyears better than the standard plastic tamps that normally come with espresso machines as well as a milk frothing pitcher. One thing that stood out to me was the included portafilter. It’s heavy and solid and feels really nice to handle, adding to the “premium” experience. I plan on upgrading to the bottomless portafilter since it’s my preference to see how my shots are coming through to make any necessary adjustments as I dial them in, and I like the extra room I gain so I can use my bulky scale to weigh shots without the double spout in the way. The pressure gauge and LCD display is simple, clear and straight forward and allows me to control a lot of variables to dial in my shots just right. The temperature control is very helpful to adjust based on the roast level of the beans I’m using (higher temps for lighter roasts). The volumetric controls for the single and double shot buttons are very helpful and pretty consistent. Using a scale to weigh my yield is more accurate (I set the single shot button to about 40-45 ml and get about 36-40 ml output yield), but sometimes I like the convenience of a single button press and auto off, and my scale is a little too bulky for my to fit certain cups under. The most important aspect of the machine: the taste of the shots. In short, this machine makes excellent, delicious espresso! I mainly drink Americanos and the H10A does a fantastic job with them consistently. To get the best results make sure to use freshly roasted beans about 2-4 weeks out from the roast date; this needs to be the highest priority to get the best tasting espresso. In addition, you need to have a quality burr grinder that can grind fine enough for espresso to get the best flavor out of your beans. I am fortunate enough to have access to both fresh beans and a quality grinder. If you have that, all you need to do is work on your puck prep technique; this is where skill becomes a factor. Make sure you have an evenly distributed bed of coffee in the portafilter and tamp down evenly to ensure you won’t have any uneven extraction. I rarely drink milk based espresso drinks, but I did test the steam wand and it was pretty efficient. I only tested it with almond milk since that’s all I had and it got the job done. I’m not great at latte art, but this is a great machine to learn with and I imagine that using regular whole milk, or any other milk substitute specially designed for baristas, would make it so much easier to get the exact texture needed for latte art. It seems powerful enough to make great textured milk. One thing I wish the H10A had is a 3 way solenoid, which I notice the H10A plus has. That feature alone would make cleaning up so much easier. Although the H10A works wonderfully out of the box, I do highly suggest getting a coffee scale, dosing funnel, puck screen, WDT tool, distributor, and a calibrated tamper to make the puck prep process so much more easier. With the 58 ml portafilter, you can easily find many affordable options online. Overall, I have been having a fantastic experience with the H10A so far, and as long as it keeps working I’m completely content with sticking with this machine for the long haul. In my view, there are not many drastic improvements to be made even with a fancier $1000 machine with all the bells and whistles in terms of the tastiness of your espresso. It’s diminishing returns at that point unless you want to nerd-out and see and control every little variable of your espresso shot. As long as you have quality coffee beans, a good grinder and filtered water with your H10A you have everything you need for amazing espresso based drinks! Highly recommended!

With brushed stainless-steel finish, this espresso coffee machine blends seamlessly into our kitchen. It is superbly built, seen with much more expensive espresso machines. For example, portafilter is very heavy and solid, made from cast stainless steel. We definitely love this Hibrew espresso machine and we love its convenience. This Hibrew espresso machine comes in handy and is very convenient. It’s very easy to use and quite surprisingly it comes with very easy to read instructions. And it is really great because we can make our espresso shots in the comfort of our own home that is very convenient. It saves us money after all😉. The quality is very nice. The size is very nice, very functional, easy to clean, easy to assemble, easy to get the coffee quality we like. Again, this is a great product. We would definitely recommend it if you like espresso. If you really like espresso shots this is something for you, genuine espresso aficionado. Coffee tastes great and we love the convenience of having this coffee machine in our home. We definitely recommend it. I almost forgot, customer service is second to none, very prompt and very responsive. Ms. Helen, thank you.

I wanted a small footprint machine for my boat, and the reviews all seemed to be pretty good. The adjustable temperature for Pre infusion, Espresso and steam has been fun to play with. Also the water/steam dial on the side let's you do things like reducing the pressure at end of the shot like a lever machine. It's been really fun trying all the tricks. You can make very good espresso with this little guy. For the money and counter space this is a great machine. What I don't like. Because I is so light it tends to hop around on the counter when you install and remove the Portafilter. Steaming milk is SLOW. I didn't crank up the steam temp and got it down to about 60 seconds. Definitely steam your milk first. Sloppy Puck. It doesn't release the pressure when the shot is finished. Open the water/ steam dial for a second when the shot finishes prior to removing the Portafilter, seems to help. I wish it had a bottomless portafilter. That seems like a no Brainer you would think it would be cheaper. This is a great starter machine and ideal for a cabin or boat where counter space is a premium. Way better than the Wacco, Flair, or any of the machines in the price range.

My research for a beginners espresso machine lead me to discovering the HIBREW H10A. The reviews I found showed that this machine had the right combination of capabilities at the budget I as looking for. I took the chance and paired it with HIBREW's G5 grinder. I am really happy with this pairing. The H10A's build quality is great. I found the outer shell of the machine to be metal. At this price point, I expected it to be plastic. I was also impressed by the included accessories. I purchased a puck prep tool kit that came with a tamp, but the included tamp was a much nicer quality. The milk pitcher that came with the machine was also impressive. I added HIBREW's bottomless portafilter to this machine and I highly recommend that accessory. The ability to see the expresso shots flow looks cool and is a great tool to diagnose any problems with your shot. The machine has really nice, easy to read controls and gauges. I've been working with the default setting, but you an tune your shot volumes, temp, and pre-infusion. I'm a beginner, so I've been learning the intricacies to the espresso process. It's been fun learning how to dial in my shots and this machine makes it easy to learn how. I've been very happy with the shots I've been getting and the steam wand does a great job texturing milk. 40-50 seconds gets me a nice pitcher of textured milk for my lattes. I've been very happy with my first month using the H10A. My morning coffee ritual has been so fun. I just have to practice my latte art.

I purchased this after several videos abs sites talked about how great it was for an espresso under $300. I never got a good flavor from it. Always sour/bitter (it's difficult for me to distinguish between the two) and 2 weeks after the warranty ended it stopped working. It started leaking from the steam wand and the water was not hot at all. I could keep my finger under it for the whole shot even though it was set at 93°C. I I originally thought that I just don't like espresso drinks. Whether it was an Americano, a breve or affogato, it was never very pleasant. Even half and half, vanilla ice cream or milk couldn't mask it. But, I still drank it hoping to get used to it. It wasn't until after it stopped working did I get another espresso machine that fir all my accessories (naked portafilter, IMS basket) did I find that I really do enjoy espresso drinks as ever single one from my new machine tasted fantastic. Is this indicative of the Hibrew H10A itself? No, I just think mine was poor quality from the jump. Especially when my new machine (Chefman Crema Deluxe) has produced nothing but fantastic espresso drinks.

For the cost, ease of use, and the espresso it can produce, this machine is worth it in my experience and opinion. I would recommend looking up some videos on YouTube on how to use this machine, prior to using it. Why not invest a little bit of time watching more experienced individuals operate the machine? By doing so, it definitely helped me get better results faster. If you purchase this machine and you are not having good results (before you start blaming it on this machine), I suggest you do some troubleshooting with your grinder setting and your puck prep. Once I was able to dial in the proper grind for the beans I was using, the espresso this machine can produce is really good. From a look’s perspective, it is sleek. I do not have a ton of open counter space in my kitchen, and this has a small enough footprint that it doesn’t require a ton of space. Are there better machines out there? For sure, but I don’t think you will find a better machine, right out of the box and at this price point, than the HiBrew H10a.

I recently switched to the HiBREW H10A after using a Breville Barista Touch because I wanted a setup with a separate grinder and an espresso machine that offered PID temperature control on a tighter budget (under $300). I compared several options, including the Breville Infuser, and felt this was the best fit based on features and reviews. The build quality is excellent for the price, and my 58 mm Mhw-3bomber impact tamper fits the portafilter perfectly. The ability to fine-tune temperature, pre-infusion, and shot volume has helped me dial in consistent extractions. I mostly drink straight espresso or an occasional americano, so I haven’t used the steam wand yet, but it’s nice to know it’s there. After several weeks of daily use, the machine heats quickly, delivers stable pressure, and pulls rich, flavorful shots. At this price point it’s hard to ask for more. I’m super happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable yet capable espresso machine with serious controls.

So, I've been living with the HiBrew H10A for about a week and a half now. It's one of those things you buy when you're tired of paying five bucks for a latte and decide, "I can totally do this at home." And honestly, so far, it's been a pretty good call. First impressions? This thing is ready to go right out of the box. It's not one of those setups that makes you feel like you're missing half the parts. It came with a nice, solid-looking 58mm double-spout portafilter, a couple of different baskets, a pretty hefty stainless steel tamper, and even a 450ml milk pitcher. The machine itself is surprisingly sleek. It's got this smooth, polished look that doesn't scream "cheap plastic." The water basin is big enough that you aren't refilling it every single morning, which is a small but important victory when you're still half-asleep. Plus, there's a little cup-warming tray on top—my mug's new favorite spot. The whole "jam-packed with features" thing isn't just marketing fluff, either. You can tweak the water volume in tiny 5ml increments, and even mess with the brew and steam temperatures. It's like having a little mad scientist's lab for your coffee. It heats up crazy fast, too. You flip it on, grab your beans, and by the time you've ground them, it's ready to go. The switch from brewing to steaming is quick, too. No standing around tapping your foot while it sputters and coughs its way up to temp. Now for the real-world stuff. This is where you find out if you're a barista or just a person who likes coffee. The espresso shots themselves have been pretty consistent, assuming you get your grind and tamp right. But the steam wand... this is where things get interesting. It's like the steam wand has a little secret. Before it gets down to the business of making perfect, silky microfoam, it likes to spit out a little bit of un-evaporated water, almost like it's clearing its throat. If you're not paying attention or you're a newbie to this whole milk steaming dance, that extra water can kinda dilute your milk and mess up your texturing. It's not a deal-breaker, just a little quirk you have to learn to work around. A quick purge into a spare cup before you start steaming does the trick. Another thing that's a bit of a head-scratcher is the portafilter spout. It's a double-spout, which is great, but the spouts don't seem to detach. I gave it a good, nervous tug, but no dice. This means cleaning is a little more involved. You can't just pop off the spouts and rinse them out. You'll need a good, skinny bottle brush or something similar to make sure you're getting all the old coffee goo out of there. Not a major flaw, but something to remember if you're not a fan of deep cleaning. And about all those fancy temperature displays—the machine uses a heating block system, not a traditional boiler. This is a common thing on machines in this price range. While the screen might say a certain temperature, the actual temp coming out of the brew head can fluctuate a little bit. It's not a huge issue, especially for a daily driver, but it's something to keep in mind if you're aiming for a super precise, competition-level shot. Bottom line: For someone just getting into the world of espresso, this machine is a solid starting point. It's got all the tools you need to learn the basics and then some. You can definitely see a real improvement in your technique and workflow speed with a machine like this. It's probably not an "endgame" machine for a hardcore coffee nerd, but for daily use, I honestly don't see a reason for anything more. It’s a great little workhorse that feels like it’s punching above its weight. Highly recommend.

Excelente máquina, solo que para aprovecha al máximo hay que comprar le molino Hibrew g5, esto es para tener una mejor molienda y que la extracción sea mejor. Obviamente usar café de especialidad.
