WMF Perfection 680 Fully Automatic Coffee Machine

Setup/Exterior: The coffee machine is incredibly easy to set up. It's relatively slim, with the grounds container and drip tray accessible from the front. The water tank is located at the back. A white ambient light is included. Coffee Variety and Taste: The machine offers numerous coffee variations. Unlike other fully automatic machines, for example, the breakfast coffee is brewed in batches. Espresso is brewed classically. As a discerning coffee drinker, I was impressed by the taste. There's also an Italian cappuccino option, which brews the coffee first and then froths the milk. Some criticize the espresso as being rather watery, a criticism I don't share. However, preparing coffee with milk takes a long time. The taste, however, makes up for the wait. Cleaning: The coffee machine requires frequent cleaning, which is noticeable because the drip tray fills up quite quickly. The milk system should be cleaned after each use. This requires re-plugging it, which is somewhat inconvenient. After a week, manual cleaning is necessary, but this is easy: a step-by-step guide on the display provides excellent assistance. At the time of this review, I haven't yet had to perform any coffee system cleaning or descaling. Conclusion: I would buy the machine again.

We've been using the WMF Perfection for about three weeks now. Initial setup was quick and easy. The large water tank and grounds container are a real plus, in my opinion. This means you don't have to constantly refill the water or empty the grounds container. Unfortunately, I've experienced this differently with other manufacturers. This is invaluable, especially when, like us, you drink around 10 cups a day. There are plenty of coffee variations available, and they're all customizable. You can adjust the quantity depending on the cup size or save your preferences in profiles. The same applies to the coffee strength. The included milk container makes it easy to prepare cappuccinos and lattes. The milk hose and frothing nozzle are then cleaned automatically at the touch of a button. The brewing unit is also cleaned automatically. No more disassembly required. The machine is incredibly quiet. We've certainly had much louder experiences with other machines over the last 20 years. We're absolutely delighted with our new fully automatic coffee machine and don't expect to be parting with it anytime soon.

I've been using the WMF Perfection 680 for a few weeks now, replacing an older DeLonghi model, and I don't regret it at all. First, let's talk about the setup: The coffee machine is extremely compact and therefore doesn't take up much space. The coffee grounds container and water tank are easily accessible. A water filter, cleaning supplies, and the instruction manual are included. The 680 model also features a glass milk container, which looks really elegant. After a quick setup (including a software update via Wi-Fi), I was able to start making coffee. There's a really wide selection of coffee specialties, which can be customized. My favorites are the cappuccino and café crema (with extra hot milk). The cold drinks are also a highlight; I sometimes find the nitro coffee a refreshing treat in the afternoon. Maintenance and cleaning are also incredibly easy. Every step is displayed on the intuitive touchscreen, and thanks to the new Click&Clean system, cleaning the milk hose is even simpler. Overall, I can say that I am extremely satisfied and very well equipped for the next few years. Not only with very good coffee, but also with many customization options and a stylish machine.

After some time of intensive testing of the WMF Perfection 680 fully automatic coffee machine, I am absolutely thrilled. From the very first glance, I was impressed by the machine's simple yet elegant design with a brushed stainless steel front. It blends seamlessly into any kitchen and exudes high-quality craftsmanship. But the machine's appeal wasn't limited to its appearance. Setting it up was refreshingly straightforward. The display guided me step-by-step through the necessary settings, from determining the water hardness to establishing the Wi-Fi connection. I was able to enjoy my first cup of coffee in no time. I was surprised by the remarkably quiet grinding noise compared to other machines I had previously tested. However, the WMF Perfection 680's real strength lies in its impressive range of beverages. With a total of 21 different coffee variations, including cold drinks, it truly leaves nothing to be desired. I found the ability to save individual beverage profiles for up to eight users particularly impressive. The coffee quality was consistently excellent. I always received an aromatic and piping hot cup. The milk froth was also of impressive quality and held its shape well. Another plus was the self-cleaning brewing and milk unit, which ensured consistently hygienic cleanliness. Minor criticisms only slightly marred the overall very positive impression. Unfortunately, ground coffee cannot be used, and there was no separate storage for the milk hose and wand. In conclusion, I can say that the WMF Perfection 680 fully automatic coffee machine truly delivers on its promises. With its high-quality workmanship, ease of use, and impressive beverage selection, it completely won me over. Despite these minor criticisms, the overall positive impression is hard to beat.

A compact and stylish fully automatic coffee machine equipped with everything you need. Easy to set up. User-friendly touchscreen. The 21 available coffee varieties can be saved by name in the profiles. The grinder operates at a reasonable noise level. Preparing the various milk-based coffee drinks is effortless. The milk froth is stable. The integrated Easy-Clean system makes subsequent cleaning quick and reliable. Cleaning the entire machine is also straightforward. Everything is self-explanatory. We are very satisfied and enjoy the coffee specialties.

My WMF Perfection 680 arrived two weeks ago. This compact yet fully equipped automatic coffee machine impresses with its uncomplicated and quick setup. I performed a water test, installed the filter, filled the 3-liter water tank, ran six rinsing cycles, set up Wi-Fi via the display, downloaded an update, and filled the bean hopper (covered with a rubber lip). The display shows the various beverage options with very clear images and text. The 21 different options can be selected via touch control and saved directly to a user profile, which can be named. This saves time for multiple users, allowing for personalized service for guests. The grinder operates at a tolerable noise level, and the grind can be adjusted to five different settings. Milk-based specialties can be prepared quickly using the included milk hose, which connects directly to the coffee machine, and the included glass milk container. Following preparation, the milk hose is connected to the easy-clean system. Hot water and steam are then passed through the hose and cappuccino maker to remove milk residue and clean both the hose and the cappuccino maker. The cappuccino maker can be quickly removed for thorough cleaning. Simply take it out of the inlet and rinse it under hot water. The drip tray, including the cover, and the stainless steel grid are dishwasher safe. The rest is cleaned by hand. The machine makes a solid impression. Everything is easy to understand and use. The flavor profiles and various preparation methods were tested and found to be good. The adjustable water temperature is a major advantage. A powder compartment is missing. Adjusting the volume to the cup size is also difficult with some variations. The coffee mugs require 250 ml. All in all, it's a solid appliance that comes highly recommended so far. The price-performance ratio is also excellent.

The WMF Perfection 680 comes with a starter kit (descaler, water hardener, water filter) so you can get started right away. Aside from the machine's wide selection of coffees, you can further customize various settings such as coffee strength, water volume, temperature, and pre-infusion time. It's a shame that for milk-based drinks, you can only choose between small, medium, or large, and the milk quantity is given in milliliters. However, the information available for each drink is very helpful, allowing you to easily select the appropriate cup or glass size. The machine is visually appealing and very compact. Unfortunately, the ambient light doesn't extend across the entire base, which slightly detracts from the overall effect. Nevertheless, the machine boasts a modern design and is definitely a striking addition to any kitchen. The noise level is a definite plus. The machine isn't too loud when grinding coffee beans, and when cleaning is required, a detailed instruction manual can be displayed on the screen, making the printed manual unnecessary. Unfortunately, on the second day, we encountered a software update immediately upon switching on the machine, which involved a bit of a wait. This is rather counterproductive if you're short on time in the morning. It would be more helpful to have a notification that an update is pending and to install it when you have a chance. Twice now, our profiles have simply disappeared while we were creating them, and we've had to start over. A prompt asking if we want to delete the profile would be very helpful in this situation. Otherwise, we continue to enjoy our coffee and café latte and will try the other varieties when we have the time.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't praise the WMF Perfection 680 fully automatic coffee machine enough! This appliance has truly elevated my morning coffee routine to a whole new level. And not just my morning routine, but also throughout the day. Even my guests are impressed by the taste and the milk froth. First of all, the design of the Perfection 680 is outstanding. It fits perfectly in my kitchen and adds a touch of elegance. But the best is yet to come. This fully automatic machine offers an impressive selection of 21 coffee and tea specialties, from espresso to latte macchiato, from iced coffee to tea, and the quality of the coffee is simply unbeatable. Every cup is perfect, with a rich crema and an incredibly balanced flavor. Operating the machine is incredibly easy. The intuitive touchscreen display makes selecting your desired coffee specialty a breeze. Furthermore, you can individually adjust the strength and cup volume to ensure that the coffee tastes exactly the way you like it. Cleaning the Perfection 680 is also a breeze. The machine features an automatic cleaning function that saves time and effort. Furthermore, the coffee spout and drip tray are easy to remove and clean. The Perfection 680 isn't just a dream for coffee lovers, it's also extremely reliable. It brews cup after cup in no time and has a generous bean hopper and water tank, so you don't have to constantly refill. In short, the WMF Perfection 680 fully automatic coffee machine is a real dream. It offers an unbeatable combination of quality, user-friendliness, and design. If you're also looking for the ultimate coffee experience, then this is the perfect choice. I highly recommend this fully automatic coffee machine!

The WMF Perfection 680 has a slim design, so it fits well in our kitchen and doesn't take up too much space. The grinder is adjustable to five settings; we left it on the standard setting 3 and are happy with the taste. The machine asks for the water hardness at the start. A water filter in the water tank also prevents limescale buildup. Nevertheless, you should clean the machine regularly using the descaling program. The water tank is quite large, holding almost 3 liters. There are a total of 17 coffee programs, such as ristretto, lungo, Americano, caffè crema, and espresso. There are also three hot water settings for tea and three cold coffee drinks. Selection is made directly via touch on the LED display, where you can adjust both the strength and the size. You can save your personal favorites in the user profile and then recall them at any time. Up to eight users can be saved. The WMF Perfection is significantly quieter than our previous machine. The brewing time is also noticeably shorter. Cleaning is also very convenient. The brewing unit is self-cleaning. The coffee grounds are pressed very dry into the container and are easy to empty. Cleaning the milk system is also automated. Each step is explained on the display. All the coffee varieties we've prepared with the WMF so far have been delicious and looked very appealing. You can clearly taste that you're using a machine with a high-quality grinder. There's only one small point that could be improved. While the machine has Wi-Fi, it's only for receiving updates. I would like to see an app added to this, providing information about the machine (cleaning intervals, ordering accessories, number of drinks prepared, drink suggestions, etc.). My overall impression, however, is very positive. It's a truly high-quality fully automatic coffee machine with a wide variety of coffee options. The design is very well done, and the operation is intuitive. Cleaning is also simple and self-explanatory. And most importantly, the coffee tastes absolutely delicious!

We have the 680 model, and when the machine arrived, I was really excited because first impressions are often crucial. Does the machine really look that elegant? Can it live up to its promises? I unpacked it, and my first thought was: "Wow!" Yes, it looks exactly like it did in the online shop. Setting it up was super easy and explained in detail with pictures. So, we were able to enjoy our first drink after just a few minutes. We opted for a latte macchiato, two at once. Being able to prepare two drinks simultaneously was also very important to me. And what can I say? My initial reaction after the first sip was: "Wow, this tastes delicious!" Absolutely no comparison to our previous way of drinking coffee, instant coffee. It's truly an explosion of flavor. Perfect milk foam, perfectly layered with coffee. I'll never go back to anything else. We've been trying out all the different drinks over the past few days, and even the breakfast coffee is simply wow! It's also worth mentioning that there's a carafe function! You can customize the drinks to your preferences and save them in your profile, which we think is fantastic. The operation is incredibly easy, thanks to the large, clear touchscreen display. What I also really appreciate is the cleaning notification after each drink. Yes, I've left it enabled because I want to enjoy our fully automatic coffee machine for a long time. It's also super quick. After every milk-based drink, before I switch the machine off, I run the Click and Clean function. This automatically cleans all the milk system components. You just briefly reconnect the hose. This machine has a self-cleaning brewing and milk unit. I think it's fantastic because it works reliably and thoroughly. No disassembly is necessary. So, the aroma of fresh coffee fills the house every day, and it doesn't just smell amazing, it tastes amazing too. No watery drinks, the perfect drinking temperature, which you can, of course, adjust, as well as the coffee strength, grind, etc. It has a super elegant design that's a real eye-catcher in the kitchen. The taste is incredible. And if you just fancy a cup of tea, that's no problem either, thanks to the tea function or the hot water function. I am absolutely thrilled with this machine. It feels luxurious, both visually and in terms of taste.
