About the Brand
WMF has built coffee machines in Geislingen, Germany since 1927, and the industry still treats "Made in Germany" as shorthand for its standard of engineering. The company pioneered the dual-boiler system and its own Cromargan stainless steel, and set up one of the catering industry's first dedicated customer service departments back in 1945.
Today WMF's commercial machines run behind counters in hotels, offices, and high-volume retail sites worldwide, known for pairing rugged, long-service engineering with genuinely useful connectivity tools like WMF CoffeeConnect.
The Product
The WMF 1500 S+ is a compact commercial bean-to-cup machine built around configuration rather than a single fixed menu. Up to three hoppers let you run two bean types alongside chocolate or topping powder — or swap one hopper for a manual ground-coffee insert to serve decaf on demand — while the 10" colour touchscreen switches cleanly between served and self-service modes.
It's built for cafés, offices, and self-service counters that need real variety without a large footprint. This is a machine designed to grow with your business, from single-grinder simplicity today to a double-grinder, multi-hopper setup tomorrow.
Key Features
Flexible Bean Hopper Configuration (Two Beans Plus Toppings)
Up to three hoppers give you a choice of two bean types, chocolate powder, or twin toppings, plus a manual insert for ground coffee such as decaf. Every hopper is removable, dishwasher-safe, and lockable.
Up to Two Grinders (Consistent, Quiet Extraction)
The Double Grinder variant runs two electronically controlled grinders in parallel, so two bean types can be dosed and ground independently without one recipe compromising the other.
10" Colour Touch Display (Served and Self-Service Modes)
Realistic drink imagery and familiar swipe navigation make the machine usable by baristas and customers alike, and the same screen can show nutritional information or short promotional videos.
Built-In Advertising (Revenue While the Cup Fills)
The touchscreen doubles as an advertising surface, letting you run time-of-day offers or promotions while a customer's drink is being prepared.
WMF CoffeeConnect (Remote Machine Management)
Monitor sales figures, get low-consumable and maintenance alerts, and push tailored offers to the display from your desk — the core functions come free of charge.
Automatic Cleaning System (Less Manual Downtime)
A built-in cleaning cycle handles routine maintenance automatically, keeping the machine in service without manual intervention.
24 Programmable Beverages (Menu Depth Without Complexity)
Twenty-four programmable recipes give you room to build out a full drinks menu without adding extra hardware.
Optional Payment Add-Ons (Unattended-Ready)
Coin checker, coin changer, and card reader options are available for self-service and unattended locations, though not all extensions can be combined with each other.
Who It's Built For
The WMF 1500 S+ suits cafés, offices, and self-service counters that need to serve more than one type of coffee drinker — full-caf, decaf, or a chocolate-based option — from one machine. It works equally well staffed behind a counter or left to run unattended in a self-service setting.
If your site needs real variety without a full commercial footprint, this is the machine that delivers it — reliably, and on your terms.
