Reflections on 2024: Milestones and Momentum
As we look back on 2024, it’s clear that this has been one of our busiest and most exciting years yet. WPM participated in over 10 major exhibitions across the globe, visiting cities like Dubai, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Melbourne, London, Chicago, Frankfurt, Seoul, Tokyo, and more. These events provided invaluable opportunities to connect with coffee enthusiasts, industry professionals, and partners worldwide.
A major highlight of the year was the official launch of our revolutionary ZP-1 Single Dose Grinder. The ZP-1 has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm, earning praise for its performance, design, and functionality from users around the world. This milestone underscores our commitment to pushing the boundaries of coffee equipment innovation.
We also strengthened our lineup of espresso machines with the KD-3000, a compact triple thermoblock machine perfect for home baristas. The signature KD-310 got an upgrade to KD-310P with added OPV (over pressure valve) for more consistent espresso extraction. Additionally, the grind and brew KD-310GBS—an upgrade from the KD-310GB—now features a variable pressure setting for enhanced brewing control.
We also expanded our range of pitchers and accessories, introducing new products designed to enhance the coffee brewing experience. Collaborating with esteemed baristas, we launched an exciting lineup of signature pitchers. These included models developed in partnership with Kwanjai (2024 Hong Kong Latte Art Champion), IVYLKY (2025 Hong Kong Latte Art Championship 1st Runner-Up), and the dynamic duo Rora & Umpaul (2022 WLAC 1st Runner-Up and 2016 WLAC Champion). These collaborations highlight our dedication to supporting the coffee artistry community.
Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to continue this momentum with several new machine launches in the pipeline. Our calendar is already filling up with confirmed appearances at prominent coffee exhibitions, including:
- World of Coffee, Dubai (February)
- MICE, Melbourne (March)
- Hotelex, Shanghai (March)
- London Coffee Festival (May)
- World of Coffee, Geneva (June)
Stay tuned for updates on new product launches and innovations! We’re eager to connect with everyone at these events and share what we’ve been working on.
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to an even more exciting 2025!
