What matters for Fitness & Sport

For Fitness & Sport, the best choice is not the machine with the longest feature list. Throughput, range, ease of use and operating costs must fit the actual site.

Melitta · Hot Drink Machines

Melitta Cafina C35/C50

7.7Good

Compact 35 cm width, modular design, up to 250 espressos per hour and two separate bean hoppers: the Melitta Cafina C35 (technically identical to the C50 variant) is engineered for high-traffic offices, canteens and hospitality areas serving 80 to 200 employees or guests daily. The robust stainless steel construction and automatic hygiene programmes target locations without dedicated barista staff. Weaknesses: the machine weighs 60 kg even without the milk module and requires a 3-phase 400 V connection with 16 A fuse protection. Cleaning requires proper execution and daily tablet costs; maintenance is available only through authorized technicians. A fixed water connection is mandatory; mobile single-office solutions are excluded. Historical new prices were around €13,000 net. The C35 is no longer available as new; two private Swiss listings on the used market were converted to €535 to €587—isolated cases, not a reliable market price. High hourly capacity justifies the investment only with sustained throughput; for small locations the machine is clearly oversized.

WMF · Hot Drink Machines

WMF 1100 S

7.3Good

Up to 80 cups daily, 7-inch touchscreen display, and HACCP-capable cleaning protocols: the WMF 1100 S is a compact super-automatic espresso machine for offices with 20 to 60 employees. The unit measures 325 × 500 × 571 mm, weighs approx. 25.5 kg, and fits most kitchen counters without structural modification. The removable brewing unit processes a maximum of 15 g coffee grounds per brew and delivers consistent results; cleaning protocols can be exported via USB for HACCP documentation. Two operational limitations merit attention: the Basic Milk system draws milk via tube from an external cooler or milk carton, requiring more daily handling than an integrated refrigerated system. Additionally, WMF designates the 1100 S as discontinued—orderable only until 30.09.2026. New units cost €3,495 to €4,873 net depending on configuration; spread over five years, depreciation amounts to €699 to €975 annually, plus consumables and service charges. The machine suits operators seeking a low-maintenance office unit with HACCP documentation who do not operate high-throughput sites.

WMF · Hot Drink Machines

WMF 1500 S+

8.0Very good

180 cups daily, a 10-inch colour display, and three selectable milk systems: the WMF 1500 S+ positions itself in the upper segment of commercial tabletop machines for locations with 50 to 200 employees. The key differentiator is Dynamic Milk, which delivers four hot foam consistencies, three cold foam variations, and cold foam without modification or system changeover (manufacturer specification, brochure p. 2). With the optional AutoClean, daily cleaning effort drops to approximately 5 minutes. CoffeeConnect is included as standard according to the current WMF brochure and enables remote access to machine data. Acquisition cost ranges from EUR 9,635 to EUR 10,167 net depending on configuration (August 2026). Operators should plan for two factors: the manufacturer's specification of 180 cups daily applies only without cleaning pauses; in office operation with morning and lunch-time peaks, 80 to 130 cups daily is the realistic planning figure. Additionally, a documented software malfunction exists in which the display reverts to text view; restart resolves the issue. For mid-size office locations and upmarket hospitality operations with professional service requirements, the 1500 S+ offers a solid cost-benefit profile.

JURA · Hot Drink Machines

Jura GIGA W3 Professional

7.8Good

Two ceramic burr mills, two thermoblocks, two pumps with 15 bar each: the GIGA W3 Professional is designed for simultaneous dual pours. The target market is offices with 80 to 200 people where peak hours with multiple simultaneous coffee requests are the norm. 43 programmable beverage specialities, a 5 litre water tank and a 1,000 g bean hopper form the operational baseline. On the German market, the unit is predominantly available as factory-refurbished stock; a verifiable new price for the German 230 V market is not documented in reviewed sources. The reviewed offer for a professionally refurbished unit (item number 15071) is EUR 1,260 net. Operationally relevant limitations: the spent grounds receptacle holds a maximum of 40 portions and must be emptied daily. Bluetooth telemetry via optional Smart Connect is insufficient for centralised fleet management. Technical data sheets date from 2015; current availability as new stock cannot be clarified from public sources. For operators seeking a robust dual-dispensing tabletop unit without complex infrastructure requirements and who maintain service routines consistently, the unit is a valid option.

Necta · Hot Drink Machines

Necta Krea Touch

7.4Good

At 100 to 150 cups daily with a 7-inch HD touchscreen, the Necta Krea Touch is a solid bean-to-cup machine for offices with 30 to 100 employees, as well as hotel and lounge operations. The patented Z4000 brewing system from Evoca Group delivers reproducible espresso quality; the powdered milk system eliminates any cold-chain requirement, which significantly simplifies unattended locations. Weaknesses exist in the dosing mechanism, which appears in operator forums as a wear point after 12 to 18 months, and in the cold-start phenomenon of the first cup, which is reliably circumvented by running a flush cycle beforehand. The machine is end-of-life: Necta no longer lists the Krea Touch in its current catalogue; the successor is the Gaggia G300 Krea with a 10-inch display and EU energy class A. New prices range from €3,690 to €5,434 net; second-hand units are available on the German market for an estimated €900 to €2,200. For operators seeking a proven Evoca fully automatic machine at closeout prices, the Krea Touch is a defensible choice, provided limited long-term spare parts availability is factored into the investment decision.

Animo · Hot Drink Machines

Animo MT200

7.5Good

144 cups per hour, fixed water connection, three operational steps: the Animo MT200 is a high-volume filter brewer for offices with 30 to 100 employees, hotel breakfast buffets, and canteens up to 80 staff. Each brew cycle produces 2.2 litres of filter coffee in 7.5 minutes; the thermal pump carafe maintains beverage temperature for 2 to 3 hours without a hotplate. This prevents the bitter aftertaste that develops in glass carafes with active hotplates after 30 minutes. Core strength: low-maintenance continuous operation with minimal staff training required. The weaknesses are equally clear: no integrated grinder (pre-ground only), no telemetry interface, no display beyond the descaling indicator. Operators with over 100 employees or remote monitoring requirements should evaluate the MT202 or Animo ComBi-Line. At 5 brew cycles daily over 250 working days, approximately 22,000 cups per year are produced. Annual operating costs are €742 to €1,208 (coffee supply, electricity, filter paper, descaling agent); including capital depreciation of €487 net over 5 years, this yields €0.04 to €0.06 per cup. For a reliable, manually operable filter coffee solution with no connectivity requirements, this represents solid value.
