Description
Consistency Is A Café’s Hardest-Won Metric
A shift change shouldn’t change how your espresso tastes, and an untrained hand shouldn’t cost you a wasted shot. The WMF Espresso NEXT is built to remove that variance—automating dosing, tamping and extraction while keeping the tactile, portafilter-led ritual customers recognise as real espresso.
Automation That Keeps The Barista’s Hand In The Cup
The WMF Espresso NEXT sits between a fully manual espresso machine and a bean-to-cup automat. It keeps classic portafilter handling and the option to foam milk by hand for latte art, while automating the parts of the workflow that cause inconsistency—dosing, tamping and grind adjustment. Built on WMF’s German engineering heritage, it is designed for daily commercial use with low maintenance overhead and energy-conscious operation.
Engineered For Busy Counters
- Two integrated grinders with precision-honed burrs feed automatic, 100% consistent tamping
- Dynamic Coffee Assist monitors dose and grind degree, adjusting automatically for correct extraction time
- Auto Steam produces three milk foam consistencies at the touch of a button, plant-based milk ready
- Parallel coffee and hot water dispensing saves time during peak rushes
Every Detail, Engineered For The Cup
Three Portafilters
Sized for single or double shots, each portafilter is automatically detected by the machine, which then displays only the coffee selections possible for that filter.
Dual Grinders, Auto Tamping
Two integrated grinders with precision-honed disks feed the group head. Tamping is fully automatic, delivering 100% consistency regardless of who operates the machine.
Air-Cooled Bean Hoppers
Two concealed, air-cooled 550g hoppers hold two different beans—espresso and café crème, for example. Larger 1100g visible hoppers are also available.
Auto Or Manual Milk Foam
The Auto Steam wand produces three foam consistencies at the touch of a button. A second, basic steam wand lets the operator foam manually and pour traditional latte art.
Height-Adjustable Cup Trays
Dual cup trays on both sides adjust for height, giving clearance for any cup size, serving each beverage at the right temperature and keeping the machine clean.
Heatable Cup Storage
Integrated cup storage sits on top of the machine alongside the bean hoppers—cups stay warm and within reach without needing extra counter space.
Bean Hopper Options
Choose the hopper setup that matches your bean rotation and counter footprint.
| Configuration | Capacity (each) | Visibility | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Concealed Hoppers | 550 g | Hidden | Clean, minimal countertop look |
| Visible Hoppers | 1100 g | Transparent | High-volume counters, longer bean runs |
Café Counter Or Premium Home Bar
On a busy café counter, the WMF Espresso NEXT lets any trained staff member pull a correctly dosed, correctly tamped shot—every time, across every shift. In a serious home coffee bar, it offers the same portafilter craft as a manual machine, minus the guesswork of dosing and tamping by hand.
