The 19-bar figure refers to the pump’s pressure, not necessarily the pressure applied to the coffee during extraction. A higher number alone does not guarantee better espresso or more crema; the preparation settings and coffee used also affect the result.
The 1,350 W power rating and thermoblock heating system allow the machine to reach operating temperature in approximately 35 seconds. Power alone, however, does not guarantee a stable temperature during extraction. The 1.8-litre tank provides enough water for several drinks without frequent refilling. Check that the 220–240 V power supply is compatible with your local electricity supply before use.
Extraction and pre-infusion settings
The extraction volume can be set from 35 to 150 ml for one cup and up to 300 ml for two cups. This allows you to adjust the amount of coffee to your preference, although a larger volume does not automatically mean a better extraction.
The extraction temperature is adjustable from 90 to 95 °C. Changing it lets you explore how different temperatures affect the taste of different beans and recipes. Steam temperature can be set from 125 to 150 °C.
Pre-infusion can be set from 0 to 10 seconds. During this stage, the coffee is moistened before extraction, which may help the process proceed more evenly. The result also depends on the coffee and how it is prepared.
Portafilter and milk drinks
The 58 mm portafilter uses a diameter also common in professional machines. When choosing accessories, check that they are compatible with this particular portafilter: diameter alone may not guarantee a fit.
The steam function lets you steam milk for a cappuccino or latte. Cups can be warmed on top of the machine; a preheated cup helps prevent the drink from cooling too quickly after it is poured.
Dimensions and finishes
Measuring 320 × 230 × 260 mm and weighing 4.35 kg, the machine is intended for use at home or in a small workspace. Listed finishes are stainless steel, black and yellow (cream).
The HiBREW H10A is suited to users who want to adjust temperature, volume and pre-infusion when making espresso at home, while also having steam available for milk drinks.
