Petra is a wholly-owned subsidiary of WMF - one of the pre-emminent manufacturers of coffee machines and is based in Germany.

The Petra KM 45 is a small use automatic espresso/cappuccino machine which utilises coffee pads which hold 7 grams of pre-ground coffee (the insert also has space to increase this to two coffee pads for 2 cup drinks) in order to make fantastic tasting coffee beverages including espresso, black coffee, cappuccino, caffe latte, red espresso and even instant based coffee beverages.

Petra machines are perfect for all small use applications such as small offices, meeting rooms, guest houses, hotel rooms, client areas, etc where the cost of a machine which fresh grinds coffee beans is too prohibitive.

The coffee pads are supplied in foil sealed pouches and are also considerably more cost effective than pod or capsule based coffee products.
