The WMF 1200S is a fully automatic coffee machine designed for commercial use, offering a wide range of coffee and chocolate beverages. It is equipped with features for ease of use, maintenance, and consistent beverage quality.
Function Description:
The WMF 1200S is capable of preparing various coffee specialties, including those with milk, and hot chocolate. Users can select beverages via an illuminated ring interface. The machine allows for adjustment of coffee strength, offering options for 15% stronger or 15% weaker coffee, which can be set prior to beverage selection. It features a combi spout that dispenses both coffee and milk, and an adjustable foamer to accommodate different cup sizes. The machine is designed for plumbed milk systems, indicating a direct connection to a milk supply for continuous operation.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Coffee Bean Hopper Capacity: Holds 500 grams of fresh roasted beans.
- Chocolate Hopper Capacity: Holds one bag of vending chocolate.
- Cleaning Procedure Duration: Most cleaning procedures, such as the machine clean for the Easy Milk system, take approximately 15 minutes.
- Milk System Cleaning Tablet: Requires WMF certified milk cleaning tablets, specifically RINZA tablets for milk system exchange and cleaning.
- Coffee System Cleaning Tablet: Requires URNEX tablets for the main machine clean.
