To be honest when I first saw the WMF Presto at the Sydney Fine Food Exhibition in 2005, I wasn't sure a machine like this was worth looking at.
There were two reasons for this; I vaguely remembered seeing a WMF in IKEA many years before, and the Presto was so totally different to anything I had ever seen.
Well, I can confidently say that 18 months later my trepedation was unfounded! Judging by the number of happy clients that now own the Presto, I'd say it has been a winner.
The more I learn about WMF the more I like the Presto. It has been made using all of WMF's experience and success making coffee machines for the high end user- like the Bistro. You start to get an appreciation for the reputation that WMF has in Europe as a seriously big company.
Getting back to what makes the Presto such as good machine. How about creamy hot chocolate made from fresh milk at the press of a button? Heavy duty commercial pumps that allow two milk coffee's simultaneously? Will that be tanked or plumbed?
The Presto does it all, easily. Strong, medium or mild coffee just press the barista pad. The other striking thing about this machine is the illuminated front panels that make it stand out in any office.
