HIBREW H10B Professional Espresso Machine, 20 Bar Compact Espresso Maker with Powerful Steam Milk Frother, Stainless Steel Coffee Machine with LED Display, Adjustable Temperature & Cup Volume

This HiBREW H10B Espresso maker is an excellent choice for beginners or as an affordable alternative to more expensive brands. I am not the type that likes to overspend on machinery and equipment if I am not sure I want to fully invest in a hobby. One would think this would mean a budget friendly machine like this would be lacking in quality. Not so, and could not be further from the truth. The build quality is superb for the price point and has a small footprint for countertops. This espresso machine allows inexperienced individuals like myself learn the espresso / cappuccino workflow with ease. I started with the pressurized 2 shot basket first with preground coffee. This still made what I thought were very decent cappuccinos which is what I primarily bought this machine for. It was easy to learn the milk frothing technique and dilute the coffee down a bit without needing creamer. The adjustable heat settings are great and allow for tweaking of different styles of coffee. A cold brew function is also possible at 25 degrees Celsius. There are no leaks, and the steam wand works great for milk frothing. The simple design of the machine keeps itself very clean as long as you purge it after every use and take care to clean it and not abuse it. I advanced later after buying a grinder for "true" espresso shots with Kona Hawaii coffee whole beans and it is simply amazing. The learning curve was not bad as it functions very similar to the preground basket, you just have to change to the bottomless basket for espresso grind and carefully tamp, and monitor the process. All the portafilters for this machine are for 51mm size and it seems only hold about 14 grams of espresso ground coffee. Any more than 14 grams will overfill it and it won't want to seal. The pressure gage is fantastic for diagnosing what grind setting and other variables for making your espresso better and learning the process. This is a fantastic value espresso maker for the money! I wanted to get into homemade espresso making to reduce the amount of overly sugary and expensive coffee drinks bought at coffee shops. If you follow the math of buying coffee at shops, this machine pays for itself after a few short months and even sooner if you buy multiple coffee drinks a day! At this price point, it allows one to enter the espresso making process at a reasonable price point with amazing quality and features. Plus, for the money, you wind up making better tasting coffee at home. Finally, the Hibrew company reaches out to you directly after purchase and seems to have great customer support! That is very rare nowadays, and is very comforting to know a company doesn't leave you high and dry after purchase! Keep it up!

I purchased the H10B several days ago after reviewing YouTube videos. I'm a coffee rookie. This is my first 'expresso' machine and I love it. I have successfully used it each morning since it arrived. The instructions read easily and it is simple to use and makes an outstanding expresso and the frother adds to my morning cappuccino. First thing I noticed is that the machine comes extremely well packaged and the construction appears to be very good. I'm impressed with all of the features (PID), temperature selection for coffee and cold brew, and the ease to select the steam selection for frothing. This machine reaches temperature quite quickly both for coffee and steam. Another nice detail, the suction cups on the bottom are a nice addition and really do work quite well. Overall, I am very impressed with the quality and really look forward to having that first burst of caffeine in the morning. The H10B is well worth the money. This is a 6 week update. I REALLY REALLY enjoy this espresso coffee maker. I look forward to going through my morning ritual to make my cappuccino. The H10B makes it easy to get the right temp and the perfect taste every time. As I stated right after my first use of the machine the temp rises to 95 (my selected temp setting) quickly (<25 secs) and the steamer hits 130 in under 30 seconds after brewing as well. I received a bottomless portafilter from the manufacturer 2 weeks ago and enjoy using it for a bit of variety. Don’t laugh but those little rubber feet on the bottom of the machine really do help hold the machine in position. I’d buy this again in a heartbeat if I was just starting out. Based on what I’ve experienced with this machine I’ll definitely try one of their high end machines when the time is right (and my wife wants a gift idea from me). August ’25 After 6 months this machine is still going strong. It is used every day that I’m home and it never disappoints. January ’26. I still love it. It has been almost a year since I purchased this machine. It is still going strong and making a great espresso/cappuccino most every morning. I find it interesting that numerous people on line want to sell their more expensive (complicated?) high end machines and are searching for an easy to use machine. This HiBrew would be an obvious choice.

I have been using the H10B for a while now, and it has really impressed me. Here is my breakdown of the key features: Coffee Quality: It pulls a surprisingly rich shot with great crema. Brew Speed & Temperature: The machine heats up very fast. The coffee temperature is hot right from the first cup, which isn't always the case with machines in this price range. Noise Level: It’s quieter than I expected for an espresso machine. You won't wake up the whole house making your morning latte. Ease of Cleaning: The drip tray and steam wand are very easy to wipe down and rinse. The Coffee Maker: Overall, it’s a solid, compact unit that looks great on the counter. Most importantly, I have to mention the customer service. My pressure gauge stopped working recently, and the support team went above and beyond. They didn't make me jump through hoops; they replaced the machine immediately. It is rare to find a company that stands behind their product like this!

They've done a nice job making such a good machine at a low price. Makes great coffee - lattes, and cappuccino especially. It takes a little bit of effort compared to your automatic drip machine on a timer but definitely worth it, especially if you enjoy the process and tweaking. Just be sure to find your local coffee roaster and buy freshly roasted whole beans ground right before extraction. I briefly had a DeLongi machine but everything about it was not as good. I've been playing around with latte art which the Hibrew machine does well and makes me look like a pro barrista. I did have one issue with the machine after months of heavy use but the support from Hibrew was great and they sent a new machine.

This mighty little machine makes really good espresso. My husband was disenchanted with our Keurig saying it doesn't make his coffee strong enough. We already have a frother and burr grinder so we just needed a good espresso machine. Right out of the box we got an E-2 error but I searched reviews for "E-2" and found a customer who fiddled with the steam button and voila, success. Wish it produced crema on top of the espresso but it's not necessary the way my husband mixes it with steamed chocolate almond milk. Did lots of research and purchased a 51mm bottomless Portafilter as well as Hugh basket but they did not fit this machine so I returned them. Also based on previous reviews, I run a short cup cycle without the portafilter after brewing and it removes excess grounds left behind. I wish the clearance below the portafilter once inserted was a tad higher. I have to untwist the portafilter then remove it together with my short espresso pitcher or I end up spilling espresso into the tray below by tilting the little metal pitcher to remove after brewing. It heats up quickly, easy to use, stays put with suction feet, and has a small footprint on my counter next to the Keurig I still use most mornings.

Echoing other reviews: - easy to use - crazy fidelity of controls (temp, dose, preinfusion time, etc) to dial in your shots - multiple baskets to suit your grind (I use the pressurized one most days since I buy ground coffee to save time) - frother is excellent…the timer helps you dial in the exact temp for your milk The baskets are a little small and max out at 14.5-15g of coffee, but that’s fine for morning latte or cappuccino. I bought a better tamper and a frother pitcher. It gets excellent extraction for a tiny device. My kids are coffee nerds, and even they were amazed at the quality of the shots and how easy it is to dial in their shots for the beans they buy. Looks nice on the coffee bar, and if you’re a minimalist you’ll love it! Yes, my wife still uses her $20 Mr. Coffee for the last 25 years. Don’t be a hater.

Excellent value & quality in a compact espresso machine. Compared to my Breville, its not as sturdy and doesn't hold as much water, but it still makes the same quality espresso & milk froth without filling the water tray, although the space under the portafilter is a bit smaller so you can't fit as large of a cup, and the portafilter itself is not as solid or smooth around the edges causing coffee grains to get caught between the edge & the gasket if you are not careful when filling it. Also, the double-cup holds a little less coffee compared to the Breville so you can simply brew a little less water to maintain the same consistency as the Breville. There is a plastic filter inside the bottom of the portafilter that can be removed only if you are using the non-pressurized cup (otherwise water will jet-stream without that filter), but if you remove it, you also lose the dual cup adapter (whereas the Breville portafilter doesn't have these issues). A better portafilter could be purchased to solve these problems, but for my purposes, I only use the regular double-cup, so I removed the plastic filter & it works fine without it. I needed an inexpensive machine I could use at work, and this was a perfect solution. Its compact, and also makes hot water for tea (you can remove the tip from the frothing wand to dispense hot water without the jet-spray effect when needed). It heats up very quickly and stores enough water to make multiple espressos and several cups of tea throughout the day. . Overall, I am very satisfied with this purchase, and recommend it to anyone that needs a personal espresso machine for work, student dorm, etc.

Great little machine!! I did have an issue with mine about 5 months in and reached out to the company. They very promptly responded to me and I was sent a brand new, working one! It’s so easy to use and feels much more expensive than it really is. It’s compact and easy to learn. The steam want is also awesome and creates great micro foam. Highly recommended!

It is efficient, easy to use and makes good coffee.

Llego en buen estado falta probarlo, pero el tanque de agua tenia un poco de agua, y en el cuerpo de la cafetera tenia mancha de agua, haber si no se mojo el interior

J’adore ma nouvelle machine. Le qualité finale est incroyable. C’est comme dans le café en Italie. Je prendrais 4 café par jour. Mon meilleur achat au niveau du rapport qualité prix.

I love it!

This is a great coffee machine for beginners! Unfortunately, the steam wand is quite small, and although the pressure is decent, it struggles to froth milk consistently. You can even try drawing some latte art, but it’s still not strong enough to get that perfect microfoam texture needed for professional latte art. The angle for steaming is tricky to get just right, but overall, I would still recommend this machine for home use! However, I am returning it because I initially bought it specifically to practice latte art, and the steam pressure just isn’t strong enough to compare to professional espresso machines.
