WMF Professional Coffee Machines has extended its 2-Milk Solution to the WMF 1500 S+ speciality coffee machine, enabling cafés, bakeries and businesses with medium coffee demand to serve both dairy and plant-based beverages.
Designed to process a variety of milk types – including oat, soy, almond and pea – the system supports the growing demand for vegan coffee drinks, particularly among younger consumers.
The WMF 1500 S+ features a daily capacity of up to 180 cups and can handle multiple recipes using its three product hoppers for coffee beans, powders or toppings. The integrated 'Dynamic Milk' system offers a choice of four textures of hot milk foam and three textures of cold milk foam, optimising preparation of a wide range of beverage styles.
Plant-based milk recipes can be programmed into the machine and selected via its ten-inch touch display. The model also includes automatic cup height detection and a ‘Dynamic Coffee Assist’ function to maintain consistent drink quality.
For maintenance, the WMF 1500 S+ is equipped with the WMF AutoClean system, which automatically cleans the coffee and milk systems in compliance with HACCP standards, eliminating the need for manual cleaning.
WMF says the update allows medium-sized businesses to diversify their menu with plant-based options while maintaining operational efficiency.
