In the coffee machine market, the dual boiler system is usually reserved for the premium category. However, the HiBREW H13 brings this technology to an affordable price. The essence of the system is parallelism: coffee preparation and milk frothing operate from separate heat sources, so there is no need for uncomfortable waiting times and temperature fluctuations.
5 reasons to consider the HiBREW H13:
- Independent dual boiler: The 2100W total power allows simultaneous extraction and steaming, significantly increasing efficiency when making morning coffee.
- Real-time control: The built-in pressure gauge and PID temperature control adjustable between 90–95 °C allow precise intervention in the cooking process.
- Industry standard portafilter: The 58mm lever with a heavy wooden handle ensures proper heat retention and compatibility with professional barista tools.
- Controlled pressure: In addition to the 20 bar pump, the OPV valve ensures that the extraction remains stable around ~9 bar, avoiding bitter over-extraction.
- Programmable pre-brew: Pre-soaking between 0-10 seconds helps evenly moisten the coffee grounds, resulting in a cleaner flavor profile.
Technical parameters and analysis
The HiBREW H13 has an aluminum thermal bridge between the heating element and the brewing head. This is technically critical, as it guarantees that the water does not cool down by the time it reaches the coffee. The touch panel control is modern, although fans of traditional rocker switches will have to get used to the intuitive interface.
Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Why is a dual boiler better than a single boiler system?
A: Single-boiler machines need time to bridge the temperature difference between brewing (~92°C) and steaming (~130°C). In the HiBREW H13, both temperatures are available at the same time.
Q: What type of coffee should I use it with?
A: Due to the 58 mm portafilter and precise pressure control, the HiBREW H13 is best recommended for freshly ground, specialty coffees, where the fine-tuning options are outstanding.
Q: How durable is the design?
A: The machine has a full stainless steel construction, which is not only aesthetic but also the basis for longevity in this price range.
Q: Does it have a hot water function?
A: Yes, the HiBREW H13 has a separate hot water dispenser, so when making an Americano, clean water does not flow through the used coffee grounds.
Q: Is it recommended for beginners?
A: Yes, the three steam levels and preset drink programs (Espresso, Americano, Cold Brew) help with the learning process.
