Wilfa Svart Performance WSPL-3B Coffee Maker, Black

Beautiful design, Excellent coffee

What a bliss! The machine is simply beautiful. It decorates my kitchen. Brewing is spotless. I am a barista and I know my coffee. This device gives you exceptional brew.

Loud noise

The coffee is really good, of course, but the noise is loud compared to our old Wilfa. There are loud starting bursts and quite a strong noise from the pump. Especially noticeable when brewing in the morning while others are still asleep.

Beautiful and functional!

The title says it all, but it's functional design!

Was sent a faulty machine

Was sent a faulty coffee machine. When turned on, the machine makes noise but does not start.
Was told before shipping that you do not offer warranty outside EU and all I asked for was to be sent a working machine in one piece. You failed at pre-shipping inspection and that’s the problem.

Hello! Could you please contact our customer service so we can help you out with this issue. The machine might have an air lock which should be quite easy to fix by yourself.

Wilfa Performance

Good coffee comes out of this coffee maker. It took a few rounds to learn how to work with the manual drip stop properly.
The drip stop is not completely reliable. But still a good device.

Good coffee

The coffee maker brews good coffee when the amounts and the filter extraction time are right.

One star off because the drip stop doesn't work at all and the measurement scale on the coffee pot/tank doesn't seem to be accurate? The same amount of liquid doesn't seem to end up in the pot as what was put into the tank.

Wilfa Performance WSPL-3B

The coffee maker brews excellent coffee, the taste is spot on and the temperature is just right. The design is pleasing, with no unnecessary frills. The biggest downside is the filter funnel adjustment mechanism; in my kitchen, if brewing 0.5 liters of coffee or less, the adjustment doesn't work, and all the coffee remains standing in the funnel for a long time. Occasionally, you have to watch the machine and adjust to a larger setting, say 0.75 liters, to ensure the coffee flows into the pot.

Perfect for us

We were looking for a replacement for the Wilfa Precision WSP-1B that cracked after some years. The usual brewers seemed cheap in comparison and we wanted a minimalistic, easy to clean body. This new generation is a much better and more compact machine than before, we are very satisfied.
Positive:
+ Design by looks and material including the glass pot and the fact the pot does not drop
+ Much warmer coffee than the brewers we can compare with
+ Excellent coffee taste
+ Quick brewing
+ Well made detachable water tank and nice filter holder fitting
+ No frills that we do not need anyway (display, anticalc program, start brewing when powered on for smart home usage)
+ Better price than its predecessors.
Negative:
- The touch button looks nice, but we preferred the old physical button.
- Turning into drop stop does not hold the coffee anymore. It did at the first day, though.
- Downside of fast brewing is high power consumption. 1800W I think, not sure how much is used for keeping the plate warm then.
- No local dealers here in Germany in case we need replacements.
- Still after some weeks I sense a smell like isolation parts from the heating parts. Hope that vanishes with time.

Hit

Beautifully designed product. A pleasure to look at, and it really makes good coffee. Initially, it hisses a bit louder, but it is quieter than its predecessors. At first, we thought the product was defective; it seems that when you turn the power on with the button, you have to wait a moment before pressing the start button for something to begin happening.

Great product but with a minor issue

Received my Wilfa Performance very quickly and with adequate packaging. Crema knows what they're doing to avoid shipping damage.

However when I wanted to use the machine for the first time there was an initial start of the pump which then shut off... No water going through the machine. Tried it three times and nothing... Logical thoughts are to come to the conclusion that I received a faulty machine. However since the hotplate worked and the pump kicked in but cut off after three seconds or so it seemed more likely that it was clogged somehow. Luckily I remembered that I had a simular issue with my Magimix nespresso machine in the past due to an air block in the pump. Which was cleared by tapping the bottom of the machine and removing and forcing the half filled water tank back again in order to clear the block (the weight and moisture on the water inlet seem to help). Did the same thing with the Wilfa and after a couple of times the machine sputtered to life while clearing a LOT of air. So prospective buyers this is something you can solve yourself and has probably to do with how long the machine sits in storage. Or perhaps Crema can check the machine beforehand... Could save them a lot on unnecessary refunds.

Proceeded with running two loads of the tank to rinse the machine before first real use. Grinded some coffee, filled the tank and brewed the first batch with a permanent gold filter. And I still need to dial in a bit but first impressions brewing wise are very positive for a first try.

Great product, great service from Crema WebShop

I am very happy with the communication and responsiveness of the Crema webshop, my coffee maker developed a defect after a week of use. Crema quickly contacted the manufacturer and a replacement unit was shipped while the return of the defective machine was processed seamlessly. Very happy with the experience and also very happy with the Wilfa Svart Performance. I bought it as an upgrade of my previous Wilfa Precision WSP-1A which I used for 3 years without a single fault. Compared to the Precision the Performance coffee maker is significantly quieter and a lot quicker justifying it's name. In the beginning of the brewing cycle there's a bit of a steam cloud with some louder water pump noise for like 3-5 seconds and after that they brewing cycle continues with a low humming noise of the pump working to swiftly send the water to the funnel. Very happy with the product overall, it is more compact than the Precision and the funnel lid has a really tight almost seamless fit with the funnel, much better than the Precision. 5 stars for Crema and Wilfa.
