HiBREW H10 Plus Vs Gemilai G3007L - Which Is The Better Espresso Machine for You?

[@joshdeleon3341]

Thanks for the upload! You're currently the only one who has reviews on the H10A, H10B and H10 Plus. Keep up the good work, I'm still trying to choose between the three!

[@brewcoffeehome]

Hi, thanks for the comment. The H10B is a smaller version of the H10A (51mm vs. 58mm portafilter). The settings and functions are basically similar to the H10A. The H10 Plus comes with a 3-way solenoid valve (for pressure release), adjustable pressure settings, some internal component upgrades, and an improved drip tray that’s more user-friendly. Maybe I should make a video to compare these three. ☕

Similar to the Gemilai espresso machine are the Miicoffee Apex (€341) and the Legato v2 ($479).

Hello, thanks for review. As a owner of Hibrew H10a, want the tell, a big plus of hibrew t is thermal block, instead of boiler. It is really helpful for cold-brew drinks, especially at summer.

Is it more common to start the timer once the espresso starts flowing or at hitting the start button? There's a considerable difference in time and if the former is true then I need to grind finer

[@brewcoffeehome]

Hi, it really depends on personal preference. I think it’s more consistent to start timing when you hit the start button. At the end of the day, it’s all about how good the coffee tastes!

Does either one have an insulated steam wand?

[@brewcoffeehome]

Hi, no, they don't have no-burn wand. They are very hot to touch.

@@brewcoffeehome Thank you!

It will be interesting to compare them with the Ninja Luxe Cafe coffee maker.

[@AmsterdamSigma]

It would be nice if you also compared coffee grinders.

[@brewcoffeehome]

Hi, which grinders would you like me to compare? I do have lots of hands grinders. 🤔

[@AmsterdamSigma]

@@brewcoffeehome There may be comparisons between Eureka and its alternatives.

[@AmsterdamSigma]

Gemilai seems to have the advantage in this comparison. However, Hibrew also has its own advantage. These are quality kits that come with the espresso machine.

9:57 What is the name of this scale, where is it sold?

[@georgielol]

Looks like the Subscale from Subminimal.

[@brewcoffeehome]

Yes, it's the Subminimal Subscale.

For what it's worth, my Hibrew H10 Plus broke within 2 weeks of receiving. Tried working with the vendor to get it replaced or fixed, but the best they could do was replace it with the lower model and refund the price difference. I'm guessing they are having lots of problems with the Plus model and prefer to just replace with the older, proven model.

[@brewcoffeehome]

Sorry to hear about your experience. I’m guessing they have more stock of the H10A than the Plus. From what I’ve seen of the internal design, the Plus isn’t very different from the H10A, except for the addition of a 3-way solenoid valve and an upgraded copper fittings. Hope the H10A is working well for you!

[@AmsterdamSigma]

If you don't want to replace it with H10, you only have one option. There are five important systems that can break down in an espresso machine: power unit, motherboard, thermoblock, pump and pipes. You need to find the problem and replace the broken product with a new one.
