What makes it serious?

A pro 58mm stainless-steel portafilter, a thermoblock that heats in about 35 seconds, adjustable brew temperature (90 to 95ยฐC), and a steam wand for milk. The 20 bar pump is regulated to a real 9 bar at the group, which is what counts.

What are the trade-offs?

This is a semi-automatic, so there is a learning curve to dial in grind, dose, and timing. It is also mahal at around โ‚ฑ10,300.

Does the price make sense?

For an enthusiast who wants to learn real espresso and use standard 58mm accessories, yes. Casual users who just want a quick cup will find it more machine than they need.

Who should buy it?

Buy this if you want to learn espresso properly and grow into it, with pro-size gear. See our best espresso and coffee makers roundup and the coffee maker buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

The HiBREW H10Plus Espresso Machine adds dual PID and pre-infusion for more control. The HiBREW H10B Espresso Machine is cheaper with a smaller 51mm portafilter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 20 bar pump matter?
