H10A

Whats important for consistency and a good espresso: Machine: stable temperature Grinder: consistent grind (particle distribution and size) Other things: Same puck prep every time The problem: If your grinder doesn't have a consistent output and a good particle distribution then having a stable temp

Hibrew H10A was $200 last Black Friday. Probably as good as it gets for the price. [edit] FWIW, I own the H10A and it was a great beginner espresso machine for me. I use it daily to make flat whites. It's not built for life, but I haven't had an issues after a year of daily use. It's also well revie

Spend a bit more (200E), and get the Hibrew h10A. It has a 58mm portafilter, and a steel lined thermoblock (water is not touching aluminum, basically). With good care, it's a great cheap little machine, that will last you a long time, and make great coffee.

i'm so torn between the cipher and the hibrew g5. g5 is a fantastic deal when i get it as a set with the h10a, but the cipher looks like a better grinder on paper..

I have it for one month. My only comment is that you need to invest some time in learning the app. I have no experience with similar machines like the Decent, so I cannot compare it with those. The chinese in the app and in some explanation videos definitely add a layer of confusion but in the end i

Hey, for both of you, if you don't have a good espresso grinder already, get a good grinder first. With both of your budgets you can get a really good grinder. For 50k, I would suggest something like a baratza encore esp/DF 54 + hibrew H10A. If you want a better machine but cheaper on the grinder, m

If you are in the budget as mentioned of 50-60k Hibrew H10A + DF54 If you can stretch for a bit which will be more robust than H10A then a Gaggia classic Pro paired with DF54 Any machine you get will need maintenance and if you maintain it well follow proper cleaning schedules you can pretty clearly

Best in the budget. I watched a lot of Tom’s coffee on YT and found it the best in this segment. Hibrew H10A machine was another option but idk I felt it was a sport to use it. I didn’t go much deeper than this maybe with time I will upgrade. I also got timemore C2S grinder

In my opinion, you choose the right one. The delonghi 890 is better than Hibrew H10A in many ways. Excluding the steam wand (890's steam wand is good, just that it takes bit a more time to get the steam power up ).

I also noticed the Hibrew H10A which is priced similarly. But I ended up going with the 3003B because it looks sleek and modern. Plus, it doesn’t have the loud Gemilai logo on the front, which I prefer. I’m not a big fan of the "Let's catch up" engraving on the front, though. Right now, I'm just usi
