Upgraded to Hibrew H10A from a moka pot
I have been following the sub for quite some time and a Pigeon moka pot served me great for past few years but then decided to upgrade to an espresso machine. Did not want to spend too much on the machine but yet wanted flexibility to choose brewing settings. Hence went ahead and ordered this beauty.
The machine just arrived today after some delay from courier and yet to play with preinfusion timer and other settings but what a machine. Filter holder, tamper are well built and are heavy to hold.
Earlier was using a moka pot and seven beans dark roast filter coffee. Had bought Revolver Roasters from my recent trip. The best coffee I had so far.
Blue tokai packs yet to try.
Seven beans Arabica was a blind buy to test out machine but the shot came out to be a little bitter probably because of notes of citrus and ginger. Had an espresso shot and then later with milk.
Usually I have it espresso without sugar or with milk and sugar.
Currently using Agaro manual grinder and setting on 1, takes some real efforts to grind but I am OK with it for now as the grind is pretty fine and consistent. Probably will upgrade to encore esp later.
Any advice on brewing, please share.
