Performance

This! I have a Wilfa Performance that I love and have used for years, but it’s gathering dust ever since I entered the wonderful world of ORB.

thanks. Have tried the moccaMaster before. It's built like a rock. Solid, working, good looking. But I'd like to remove the water tank, just a nice feature. And no moccaMaster can do that. Will look at the sage breville. But disappointed it does not hold heat. An unnecessary step to preheat the Coffee pot. I'm coming from the Wilfa performance and Wilfa zense. But they break quite fast. Just bad quality in my opinion.

thoughts on this long term? in general i like mine but i find that unless im doing a full jug (which is rare) i feel i need to bloom/stir the grounds to get a good extraction. if you just let it run the grounds look very uneven and the water just plows through the coffee leaving a funnel shape. also the water seems to come out of all the holes at the start of brewing, but after a few seconds it tends to turn into a basically a single stream due to surface tension. i do wish it had a broader shower head especially for making smaller amounts. My wife also doesn’t like it as its not so hands off/automatic. At least you can steep by shutting off the drip, which is one of the main reasons i got this instead of the moccamaster. but i do wish it didn’t require as much supervision.

I bought the Wilfa Performance brewer, distributed by Lardera in the U.S. Since I got it in the summer of 2024, it's been extremely consistent and makes great coffee. It's easy to clean, water is consistently in a range of 203-207, and it seems to extract well. At $250 it's pricier than I expected, but it's been a great experience. I really wrestled with getting a Moccamaster, but I didn't quite like their carafe and wanted something larger for serving groups.

I ended up buying the Performance and have been using it close to two months now. It makes delicious cups of coffee!

I’ve been mostly happy with it . I’d be 100% happy with it if the hot water drip covered a wider area in the filter basket

I love mine I use it as an automatic clever. I keep brew stop on for 2 minutes and then release. I bought the combo together with the grinder and it works well for me.

Love mine. They did a new version since that video I think, some of the stuff he complains about is fixed. I still make pourovers pretty regularly, but when I’ve got a wall of meetings it’s nice to just go automatic.
