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 NEXT is WMF's newest bean-to-cup platform, and it's built as a genuine bean-to-cup / espresso machine hybrid: two complete brewing units, two grinders, and two bean hoppers running side by side, so it functions as two independent machines in one footprint rather than one system doing double duty. That means a house blend and a decaf — or two different roast profiles — can run in parallel without cross-contamination or reprogramming between orders.
WMF's Dynamic Coffee Assist continuously monitors extraction and adjusts grind degree and dose to compensate for bean variation, while both brewing units tamp automatically at 100% consistency, removing technique from the equation entirely. This is bean-to-cup automation and traditional espresso machine thinking merged into a single high-volume unit.
Key Features
Dual Grinders, Hoppers and Brewing Units (Two Independent Coffee Programs)
Two integrated grinders, two bean hoppers, and two full brewing units mean two different beans — or two drink styles — run side by side without cross-contamination or reprogramming.
Dynamic Coffee Assist (Automatic Extraction Correction)
The system monitors extraction continuously and auto-adjusts grind degree and dose to compensate for bean variation, keeping every cup consistent.
Automatic Tamping (100% Shot-to-Shot Consistency)
Both brewing units tamp automatically at full consistency, removing tamping technique as a variable entirely.
Auto Steam (Three Milk Textures, Plant-Based Ready)
Auto Steam produces three automatic milk foam textures and is plant-based milk ready; a manual steam wand handles the second side for hands-on frothing.
Height-Adjustable Cup Trays (Both Sides)
Independently height-adjustable trays on each side, plus heatable cup storage on top, keep cups warm and correctly positioned regardless of size.
Simultaneous Coffee and Hot Water Dispensing
Coffee and hot water can be drawn at the same time, so tea and coffee orders don't have to queue behind each other.
Who It's Built For
The NEXT is built for high-volume counters — hotels, offices, and busy retail sites — that need two coffee programs running at once without either one slowing the other down. If your site serves a house blend and a decaf side by side, or two distinct roast profiles for different dayparts, this is the machine built to run them independently — at the same time.

Summary
The WMF NEXT is WMF's dual-line bean-to-cup flagship — and a genuine bean-to-cup / espresso machine hybrid — built for sites that need two independent coffee programs running simultaneously, not a single machine juggling both.
