The full review is available on Rendeljkinait

 

One of the most interesting features of the HiBREW H4D is that it is a completely independent Aeropress-type machine. It has no battery or heating element, but it can still make espresso — all you need is two hands, hot water and coffee. This puritanical simplicity is what sets it apart from other portable coffee makers: a device that doesn’t compete with technology, 

The package contains all the essential components for using the H4D, but without any unnecessary frills. The device consists of three main parts: the Upper Tritan and BPA-free water tankfrom the middle unitwhich receives the capsule holder or filter, and from the bottom, The from a drinking glass, which also serves as a coffee cup and is made of the same material as the water tank.

HiBREW H4D portable coffee maker test – Beyond electricity

The concept of H4D is specifically close to the environment where no socket, no thermostat, just a backpack, a little water heated on a fire and the human need to find something familiar even in the middle of the wilderness. This device was not born for comfort zone office coffee, but to Let there be a moment even in the middle of nowherewhen civilization returns in the form of a sip. The HiBREW H4D is therefore the simplest and most autonomous model of the H4 series. H4A is an electric version – operates from cigarette lighter or mains power and can boil hot water (our previous test here!). A Also has an H4B battery, like this cold drink from cold water can also be produced without electricity, but the hot drink still requires an external energy source. The H4C is the most advanced of them all: Features PID temperature control, replaceable battery and more serious extras. H4D, on the other hand, is completely mechanical.. There is nothing that can run down or fail. Weight Around 420 grams, water tank 80 ml and the whole structure assembled is no more than about 20×8 centimeters.

Only one type of capsule fits in the capsule holder, the Nespresso (OriginalLine) type, even though the product description says it is also compatible with Dolce Gusto capsules.

It also comes with a separate filter for ground coffee. These can be replaced depending on the type of coffee you want to make. A small measuring cup is also included in the package, which although does not exactly match the diameter of the filter, can also be used as a tamper if necessary, if no other tool is at hand. The pump is integrated into the device, so it does not appear as a separate component. There is no travel bag, no compactor or brush attachment – what you get is the essence: the machine, with all the components necessary for operation, in a minimalist design. This is also part of the concept:

here's nothing that can be lost and nothing that can run out. Even though the product page - completely wrongly - mentions a battery and a Type-C connector.

Most of the parts PCTG and stainless steel It is made from a combination of food-grade materials. The heat resistance and durability seem reliable, but The seals and silicone rings may wear out over time – it is recommended to replace them every six months to a year, but fortunately there are spares in the package. This is the only maintenance requirement, although fortunately these are standard, easily obtainable parts. The water tank and cup made of a new generation material called Tritan is made, which was developed by the Eastman Chemical Company and is primarily BPA-free, transparent, durable is a collective name for polymers. It is not a type of plastic like PET or PP, but a copolyester, i.e. a material made from two types of monomers. As a result, it is chemically stable and free of BPA, BPS and other bisphenol derivatives, therefore It was specifically developed for food and healthcare use.

Before use, the upper part – i.e. the water tank – must be unrolled and then removed the coffee filterThis includes ground coffee (approx. 10–12 grams), or capsule inserted into adapter, which For Nespresso type (OriginalLine) is meant. Although the product page also lists the Nescafé Dolce Gusto capsule, the H4D is unfortunately not compatible with it. If this is a purchasing consideration, then by no means force it! Then the filter cap you have to close it and then roll up the water tank. The pump head then unscrew it and pour hot (or cold) water in. Finally, close the pump and the extraction can begin.

Overall, the assembly and operation of the H4D is surprisingly simple, almost self-explanatory, even before first use.

 Its design clean and aesthetic, the color choice is particularly tasteful, and the material quality also gives the feeling that the average This is something more serious.. The joints are precise, they seal well, there is no wobble, there is no cheap effect. The external surfaces pleasant to the touch, they are made of matte plastic, so the coffee maker is easy to grip during use and the whole thing is solid, a lasting impression It is dated.

A Pumping is surprisingly pleasant mechanical experience. It's like performing a slightly servo-driven series of movements: each pressure only pushes a small amount of water through the coffee, the backward movement probably sucks in air to pressurize the system again.

Summary

Taking into account the "far from civilization"factor" as well, extremely enjoyable using the HiBREW H4D and the coffee made with it. The user feedback is positiveIf you don't mind having to make a few moves to get your coffee, you'll get an extremely flexible, reliable device. The HiBREW H4D so it's not for those who want to make coffee at the touch of a button, but for those who want it even when most people have long since given up on it. However, if you're basically a ground coffee fan - at most you'd throw in a Nespresso sometimes, because there's no option for a Dolce Gusto type - then you'll be an absolutely grateful H4D owner
