The 1.5-litre tank allows several cups to be prepared without frequent refilling. Before choosing a spot for the machine, compare its dimensions with the available counter space and allow room for operation and maintenance.
The pressure and power ratings describe the machine’s specifications; they do not by themselves guarantee a particular espresso flavour, amount of crema or heating time. The result also depends on the coffee and preparation settings.
Grinder and grind settings
The built-in stainless steel conical grinder offers 15 grind settings. This lets users adjust the grind to suit their beans and preferences without needing a separate grinder.
Grind size affects extraction and, in turn, the flavour of the drink. A finer grind can lead to greater extraction, while a coarser grind can produce a milder result. Flavour also depends on the coffee and other settings, so it is worth trying different grind levels.
Display and drink customisation
The 4.3-inch colour touchscreen is used to select and adjust drinks. The machine offers six types of coffee. Users can adjust the coffee and milk volumes, the amount of water and the drink’s intensity.
The Hibrew H16 can save individual users’ preferences, so they do not have to enter their favourite settings again each time they make a drink.
Heating and maintenance
The dual heating system allows coffee to be brewed and milk to be frothed at the same time. This can reduce the wait for milk-based drinks because the two steps do not have to take place one after the other.
The automatic cleaning system helps clean the internal components, but it does not replace all maintenance. The machine and parts that come into contact with milk should be cleaned according to the instructions, and descaling should be carried out as needed.
The Hibrew H16 is suited to users who want to make coffee from beans while adjusting their drink settings. Its practical features include the built-in grinder, saved preferences and automatic cleaning. Even with an automatic machine, however, regular care is still necessary.
