HIBREW H2B 5-in-1 Pod Coffee Maker - Compatible With 4 Coffee Capsule as Well as Espresso Powder, Makes Iced Coffee, Espresso, Cappuccino, Long Black. Hotel Kitchen Coffee Machine

I was surprised to find this gem buried in the endless pages of search results when looking for "pod espresso".. and to find a review saying "best espresso ever" got me curious - could this possibly be the holy grail I've been looking for? For weeks I've been looking for something to handle Nespresso capsules AND "regular" espresso grinds. Nada. Then I found this. OMG. So good. I don't own a "Regular" espresso machine. I have a Nespresso Original Line and a Keurig. This machine is replacing the Nespresso entirely. It's not replacing my keurig (although it could) but the water tank is too small.. info:+It makes better nespresso-based drinks than the Delonghi nespresso machine I have).+ The beverage from this machine is HOT. From my Delonghi - not so much.+ I swear the micro-foam from the nespresso capsule is actually crema - from the regular nespresso machines you only get micro-foam really+ 7 water level choices instead of the 2 in the Nespresso or the 5 in Keurig. (although my Keurig does 12oz)+ Nespresso, Keurig, ESE, Dolce, AND ground coffee? (there's even Lavazza adapters available on their non-amazon store)+ Quieter (not by much) than the Nespresso machine which is loud+ The machine warms up fairly quickly, no complaints+ Inclusion of a little syringe to pre-prime the water pipes? Brilliant. It worked well too!Not good- The instructions use tiny images and are a bit cryptic, I even realized there's a step missing from the ESE adapter - you need to remove the silver ground coffee cup from the carrier then you insert the ESE cup in its place (the instructions show putting the ESE cup into the ground cup - the lid won't close if you try)- Like my other Nespresso machine, this machine is nearly identical in size, but it also has a way-too-small water tank. It is roughly 25oz, enough for 2 mugs for me.- If you remove the drip tray to put a larger mug, the cup rattles ridiculously.- If they removed the plastic base under the drip tray, you could elevate this on a stand and use whatever size cup you want instead.- I'm seeing odd blinking lights under the light bars, near the brew button - something internally isn't behaving and I've contacted support. I shouldn't be having random anything the first week, especially something electrical- While technically possible to do just water, it's far easier in my Keurig - and I won't have to immediately refill the tankAs it is completely absent from the instructions or any documentation, here are the measured-by-my-completely not scientific analysis of what the water levels are using my glass measuring cup:7- 10oz (1 1/4 cup).6- ~9oz5- ~8oz (+- 1 cup)4- 6oz (3/4 cup) I tried this for luongo espresso and it's a bit weak, although it worked well for the ESE pod (more grounds in it)3- 5oz (2/3 cup)2- 2oz (1/2 cup). the Hibrew website shows this as the setting for Espresso. It makes a nice espresso1- 1oz (1/4 cup). I don't know who would use this, but it's here.I'm actually quite surprised by the results and how everything just tastes better. I am particularly impressed by the entire idea of ESE pods and how convenient they are. Pre-ground espresso in a paper pouch? Yes please. They are hard to find, but I found my Lavazza espresso on amazon - and it's cheaper than from Lavazza. However I did also try my first espresso using pre-ground coffee and it was easy enough with the included pounding thing. Cleaning a little awkward, but fine.

What a great product. Each attachment works great no issues. Using real bean grounds is GREAT as well & size is geat small. I happen to have a frother never used but now I do. Every impressive coffee proctuct. It is a bit noise but its not a big deal. I LOVE IT I would buy again.

Seems to work well with K-Cups and ground coffee. One full tank of water fills about 2 coffee mugs. The one thing that would be better is if the water was a little bit hotter. I would also recommend cycling it through 3 or 4 tanks of water as there was initially a plastic taste for a short while.

This is the one to get. I will use 5 different pod types and ground coffee as well. It gives you more control over the outcome for enjoying a cup of. Espresso or an espresso-chocolate drink. HIBREW customer service was slow and vague on solution first unit.

Smaller than the picture looks.Shakes so violently it knocks over the mugs while brewing.So short standard mugs cannot fit underneath the nozzle.

Está muy bonita pero el sabor del café no me gustó independiente del precio que tiene. Los aditamentos no están identificados ni para que son

Loved, each type of process coffee are absolute great makers, exelent taste in particular the fresh coffee

Awesome machine. Makes amazing coffee with lots of crema. The ESE pods work amazing especially the Lucaffe brand and the Illy intenso
