H10A

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

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

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

If you are going to go the Breville route, it’s probably safer to get a new Bambino (edit to add: the HiBrew H10A is also getting a lot of attn) and something like an Encore ESP or DF54 grinder. “Well maintained” is relative and these machines have a spotty history.

I think more important than your espresso machine would be your grinder if you wanna make real espresso. Hibrew H10a has good reviews, but not sure how it would perform in a commercial scenario.

Yes i was planning to get that too but in flair I can Pressure profile the shots easily, whereas in hibrew h10a there is Machine maintenance, complex parts( chances of getting damaged) descaling etc, and then there were plastic pipes through which hot water flows, so i decided to go for a more simpl

Hibrew H10A/A plus would be good to add if you know about it. I'm curious about it as it is more feature rich than these other machines but I don't know about the long term quality but I'd get it over another Breville right now if I wanted that.

Build & Feel Dedica is sleek, compact, and feels solid for the price. Very popular globally, especially in tight Indian kitchens. HiBREW H10A is bulkier but comes with a 58mm portafilter, which is a game-changer if you’re planning to get serious. The metal finish looks decent but has a slightly more

Also, there is a new brand called HiBrew which has been getting positive reviews. Worth taking a look. The H10A is their entrance model from what I know. https://www.hibrew.com/products/semi-automatic-espresso-coffee-machine-temperature-adjustable-h10a

I got the Hibrew H10A after wanting a more automatic workflow (have a flair) for years. I went with the H10A despite the company not being very renowned because of good reviews I saw on YouTube and the fact that I got it on sale for less than $200. I would probably not have bought it at sticker pric
