Wilfa Performance Compact Coffee Maker (Black)

High Performance Compact Coffee Maker Designed to Fit All Countertops

Meet the latest innovation in our coffee makers - the Performance Compact. With its compact and space-saving design, it is perfect for any kitchen, regardless of size. Enjoy outstanding coffee each time with our compact coffee maker that delivers big flavors despite its small footprint.

Compact size

The Performance Compact coffee maker is designed to fit on all kitchen counters with a small footprint of just 20x22 cm. This means that the coffee maker fits perfectly in a smaller student kitchen, in the cottage, for those who want more space on the kitchen counter, or for those who want a smaller coffee maker.

Unique pump technology

Fresh water is one of the most important ingredients in good coffee. Thanks to Wilfa's unique water pump technology, the Performance Compact completely empties the machine of water with each brew and you pour the next pot with only fresh water.

This is in contrast to other coffee makers where water remains in the system when the funnel is finished, which will in turn affect the coffee taste on the next brew.

Removable water tank

The practical 1 liter removable water tank makes refilling water easy and spill-free, while the water you pour with will always be clean.

The coffee carafe can be tempting to use to fill water with, but it brings with it coffee residues that can flavor the new coffee you are going to make. Over time, using the coffee carafe for water filling will cause the coffee maker to become flavored with old coffee. This is because grease from the coffee remains in the carafe and these microscopic coffee residues are transferred when you use the flask to fill water.

Perfect brewing temperature

The Performance Compact has an advanced brewing system that delivers water at an optimal extraction temperature throughout the entire brewing process. It has a brewing temperature of 92-96° from the first to the last drop, which results in an unforgettable taste experience.

Correct ratio between coffee and water

Use the measuring guide on the water container to get the optimum ratio between coffee and water for each brew.

Automatic drip stops

The Performance Compact coffee maker has an automatic drip stop that prevents spills. Automatic drip stop means that there is a mechanism that prevents coffee from dripping when you remove the flask of freshly brewed coffee.

Hot plate with auto stop

The tractor has a heating plate that keeps the coffee warm after brewing. It automatically switches off after 40 minutes for safety.

Tip! We recommend making coffee several times rather than storing it for a long time in order to drink coffee with the best possible taste.

Unique spreading head

All the good flavors from the coffee will be fully utilized with the unique spreading head that spreads the water evenly over the coffee during brewing.

Cleaning indicator

The start button also acts as an indicator for when the brewer should be cleaned. Then the start button shows a pulsating light and you should clean the brewer.

      I spent forever researching coffee

      "I spent forever researching coffee machines. I eventually decided on the Wilfa performance compact for a number of reasons. My kitchen is tiny so the small footprint was appealing and I never want to make more than 4 cups so it seemed the perfect size - and it is. I love the look of it (a bit like a science experiment!) but most importantly it makes good coffee. From one cup to 4 it is always hot and full of flavour. Ive been using it every day for a couple of weeks now and I’m very pleased with my purchase."

      I've had the Performance Compact

      "I've had the Performance Compact Coffee Maker for about six weeks. I'm very happy with it. It delivers on the three important (to me) requirements - small footprint, ease of cleaning and that the coffee is consistent whether it one cup or more."

      Impressive coffee, a few silly design quirks.

      "I’ve been using the Wilfa Performance Compact for a short while, and it’s a very capable machine. It looks good, feels well built, and clearly benefits from some proper engineering thought. The coffee it makes is clean and consistent, which is really all anyone wants from a filter brewer. That said, I’d say it’s been designed by people who don’t actually use it. Here are just two examples. When you take the coffee cone out to add the grounds, there’s nowhere sensible to rest it. You can’t stand it up, and you can’t fill it easily while it’s on the machine without making a mess. I’ve ended up balancing the cone on a cup sitting on my scales, pressing tare, and then adding the coffee that way. It works, but it’s a bit ridiculous at this price point. Then there’s the sticker on the back of the water tank. It could easily have been printed on easy-peel paper, but instead it’s glued on with something industrial. You end up picking at it with your fingernails for five minutes to get it off. It’s the kind of small irritation that suggests the designers were thinking about factory lines, not kitchen counters. None of that means it’s a bad coffee machine. Far from it. It’s compact, it’s neat, and it produces excellent coffee at the push of a button. But people have been making coffee for over six centuries, and the basic process hasn’t changed much. In 2025, a machine that makes good coffee isn’t a miracle; what matters is how seamlessly it fits into daily life and how well it’s been thought through. I’ve come away wondering if Wilfa actually do any customer testing. Perhaps they focus entirely on mechanical performance and just assume the rest follows. So yes, the mechanics seem clever and the results are good, but it’s also slightly over-thought in the wrong places and under-thought in others. Impressive coffee, frustrating design."
