Dr Coffee H1: A Bean-to-Cup Machine With a Real Steam Wand
Most automatic machines at this price make the milk for you, and that's exactly the problem. The H1 grinds, doses, tamps, extracts and cleans itself, then hands you a proper steam wand to texture milk in a jug, the way a café does.
Built for one or two people at home or a small office, rated at 20 cups a day, with six programmable drinks.
Key Features:
- Manual Steam Wand: Real microfoam and latte art.
- Fully Automatic Extraction: Grinds, doses, tamps and brews at a press.
- Six Programmable Drinks: Volume, strength and temperature.
- Adjustable Grinder: Change with your beans; pre-ground option for decaf.
- Independent Hot Water Outlet: Separate from the steam wand.
- Removable Brew Unit: Proper cleaning.
- Compact Footprint: Only 240mm wide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make latte art with it?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose this machine over other automatics. It has a manual steam wand rather than an auto-frother, so you texture milk in a jug and pour it yourself. Your milk will only be as good as your technique, but the ceiling is much higher than any automatic frothing system.
How long until it is ready to steam?
Around a minute and twenty seconds from switching on, per independent testing. Considerably faster than any E61 machine.
Does it grind the beans?
Yes, it has a built-in adjustable grinder and grinds fresh for every cup. You can also use pre-ground coffee, which is useful for decaf without emptying the hopper.
How many people can it serve?
Dr Coffee advise 20 cups a day, with a maximum of 50 cups an hour in short bursts. That comfortably covers a household or a small office of a few people. For a busier site, talk to us about a larger machine.
Can it be plumbed into a water line?
No. It runs from a removable water tank, which you fill at the sink.
How much cleaning does it need?
Less than a manual machine. It rinses itself on start-up and shutdown, empties spent pucks into a dregs box you tip out, and has wash and descale cycles built in. The brew unit comes out for a proper clean, which we would recommend doing regularly. The steam wand needs wiping and purging after every use, same as any machine.
Will it make better coffee than my current machine?
That depends what you have. It will beat a pod machine or a cheap automatic comfortably. It will not beat a good grinder feeding a proper espresso machine — an integrated grinder and automatic brew unit give you less control over the shot, and that limit is real. What it will do is make consistently decent coffee with no skill and almost no effort.
A note on the warranty. The H1 carries a 1 year manufacturer warranty, which is shorter than the 2 year cover on the Italian machines we sell. We would rather tell you that up front than have you find out later. Your rights under Australian Consumer Law apply in addition to the manufacturer warranty regardless.
Supplied as genuine Australian stock and serviced by our own Illawarra-based technicians. We are not a drop-shipper — if something needs attention down the track, you have a real workshop to call rather than an email address overseas.

We Aim to Match, But Conditions Apply!
We strive to offer the most competitive prices in Australia for all your coffee brewing needs. While we're confident in our pricing, we're human, and occasionally, a competitor might slip a lower price past our radar. That's where you come in! If you spot a better deal elsewhere, we'll gladly match it, with some fair conditions to ensure a level playing field.
Here's the scoop:
- Aussie rivals only: The competitor must be an Australian retailer with prices in AUD and shipping from within our great nation.
- Brand buddies: They must be an authorised retailer of the specific brand you're eyeing.
- Twinsies, please: The product needs to be an exact match, brand new in its box, and readily available.
- Delivery included: We'll factor in the competitor's delivery cost for an apples-to-apples comparison.
Now, for some exceptions, where our price-matching magic might not work:
- Cashback & discounts: We can't match deals involving cashback offers or special discount coupons.
- Bulk buys: Commercial quantity pricing is a different beast, so we won't match those either.
- Clearance frenzy: Stock liquidation sales are temporary deals, and we can't keep up with their ever-changing prices.
- History can't be rewritten: We can't adjust past orders that have already been processed.
- Auction arena: Prices from auction sites like eBay or Catch of the Day aren't eligible.
The rare exception:
In extraordinary situations, we might not be able to match a competitor's price exactly. But don't worry, we'll still offer you the best possible price we can, because your coffee happiness matters to us!
So, there you have it! With these guidelines in mind, feel free to share any lower prices you find, and let's brew up some fair competition!
