Full details
The HiBREW H13 Dual-Boiler Espresso Machine is an ideal choice for home baristas who prioritize precision and efficiency, offering a robust dual-boiler system that allows for simultaneous coffee extraction and milk steaming. While it provides professional-grade tools like a 58mm portafilter and PID temperature control to achieve cafe-quality results, users should be prepared for a slightly steeper learning curve compared to entry-level pod machines due to its manual settings and specialized features.

FAQs
Can I use ground coffee instead of whole beans?
Yes, the HiBREW H13 is compatible with pre-ground coffee, though for the best crema and flavor, we recommend grinding fresh beans immediately before extraction.
How do I make a Cold Brew with this machine?
Select the 'Cold Brew' mode on the touchscreen, which bypasses the heating elements to deliver water at room temperature or cool temperatures through the group head.
Is the water tank dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the water tank with warm, soapy water to prevent damage to the plastic or seals from high-heat dishwasher cycles.
Does this machine work with ESE pods?
The H13 is designed primarily for fresh ground coffee using the 58mm portafilter. It is not specifically engineered for ESE pods.
What is the warranty period?
Please consult the documentation provided with your specific unit or contact HiBREW customer support with your MPN for regional warranty details.
Troubleshooting
Espresso is extracting too quickly
Your coffee grind is likely too coarse. Use a finer setting on your burr grinder to increase extraction resistance.
Steam wand has low pressure
Check the steam tip for dried milk blockages and clean it with a pin. Ensure the steam function has reached its target temperature before opening the valve.
Machine screen is unresponsive
Ensure the power cable is securely connected and the machine is fully powered on. Perform a hard reset by unplugging the unit for 60 seconds.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure the machine is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate clearance for the water tank. Upon first use, prime the system by running a full cycle of water through the group head and steam wand to ensure internal lines are flushed.
Maintenance Tips:
- Daily: Wipe down the steam wand immediately after use to prevent milk buildup.
- Weekly: Backflush the group head using a cleaning disc and specialized espresso machine detergent.
- Monthly: Descale the dual-boiler system if you live in a hard water area to maintain internal temperature accuracy.
- Compatibility: The machine is optimized for a 58mm tamper and standard non-pressurized or pressurized 58mm filter baskets.
