Product Information
Full details
The HiBREW H10B is designed for home baristas and coffee enthusiasts who demand granular control over their extraction parameters to achieve café-quality results. Its primary strength lies in its extensive customization options, including adjustable pre-soak, temperature, and volume settings, allowing you to tailor every shot to specific bean profiles. However, users should note that the technical nature of these settings requires a steeper learning curve compared to simple, one-touch pod machines.

FAQs
Can I use ground coffee and pods?
The machine is designed for use with ground coffee via the 51mm portafilter handle.
How do I change the extraction temperature?
Use the machine's control interface to navigate to the temperature settings and adjust between 90-95°C for hot shots.
What is the maximum volume I can pull?
You can program the machine to dispense between 35ml and 300ml of water.
Is the water tank dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the water tank with mild detergent to prevent warping or damage to the seals.
How long does the machine take to heat up?
Thanks to its efficient internal heater, the H10B typically reaches operating temperature within a few minutes.
Troubleshooting
Coffee extraction is too slow or dripping
Your grind may be too fine. Use a coarser setting to improve flow rate.
Weak or watery espresso
Ensure the coffee is properly tamped in the 51mm basket and check that the dose is sufficient. You may also want to increase the pre-soak time.
No steam coming from the wand
Check that the steam function is activated and the system has reached the set temperature (125-150°C). If it still fails, check for clogs in the wand tip.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-pressure 20-bar pump for quality extraction
- Deep customization for temperature, volume, and pre-soak
- Space-saving slim design
- Versatile hot and cold brew extraction modes
Cons
- Requires manual effort for every shot
- Learning curve for programming advanced settings
- Smaller water tank may require frequent refilling for high-volume use
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure the 1.3-liter tank is securely seated and perform a flush cycle by running water through the group head without coffee. The machine utilizes a standard 51mm portafilter; ensure your grind size is optimized for a 51mm basket to avoid over-extraction or flow issues.
To maintain longevity, empty the drip tray daily and descale the internal heating elements every 2-3 months, depending on the hardness of your local water supply. Always wipe down the steam wand immediately after use to prevent milk proteins from hardening and clogging the nozzle. Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the exterior, avoiding abrasive cleaners that may mar the grey finish.
