Wilfa Svart Performance Filter Coffee Machine
This is a very cool looking filter coffee brewer with some equally cool features, designed in partnership with ex world barista champion Tim Wendelboe.
It has a removable water tank, it’s temperature stable, and all of the water in the water tank is pumped through with each brew.
As you can see, this is a nice looking, modern & minimalist designed filter machine, which sets it apart from a lot of other filter machines on the market.

If you’re shopping for a filter coffee machine, this is a fairly unique one. It’s not perfect, there are pros and cons, but this does have a couple of very specific features that a lot of the other leading competitors don’t
Namely, the flow control with the ability to steep and release, and the removable water tank.
The removable water tank is the one thing that I much prefer about the the Wilfa Svart performance vs both the Sage Precision Brewer and the Moccamaster brewers.
It’s also very simple to use, there’s recommendations for how much coffee to use for each water level, a little thing but very useful for people who’re new to filter brewing – and other than this, there’s just an on/off button and the flow restrictor at the bottom of the filter holder.
This isn’t as clever as the precision brewer when it comes to all of the variable settings, but if you’re just wanting a really simple to use brewer that you don’t need to think much about, which is quiet, good looking, and gives you the ability to control the flow, I think this is a good choice.
It has a hot plate, and a glass carafe, and this is something that tends to divide people.
Personally I do prefer a thermal carafe without a hot plate, but I do accept that, especially if you’re not making a full carafe of coffee, you do need to make sure the carafe is pre-heated so it doesn’t act as a heatsink.
Some people just prefer a glass carafe and a heat plate, so if that’s you, you’ll probably be even more inclined to go for this brewer.
As with the Sage precision brewer, it will make use of all of the water you put in the tank, so you don’t have water constantly sitting in the tank, but unlike the precision brewer, you can remove the tank to fill it and to rinse it out, which I do think is a good choice.
