Philips Series 5400 LatteGo vs WMF Perfection 680
Technical comparison · Bean-to-cup machines
Between these two bean-to-cup machines, the practical difference lies in the grinder bypass and in how many people can save their own settings. The Series 5400 LatteGo adds a pre-ground bypass, the Perfection 680 offers more personal profiles and a wider drink menu.

The differences that matter
- Pre-ground bypass: present on the Series 5400 LatteGo, absent on the Perfection 680 → only the first can skip the grinder with ready-made or decaf coffee.
- User profiles: 4 on the Series 5400 LatteGo, 8 on the Perfection 680 → more people can save their own settings on the second.
- Programmed drinks: 12 on the Series 5400 LatteGo, 21 on the Perfection 680 → a wider push-button menu on the second.
Which one to choose
Choose Series 5400 LatteGo if…
Pick the Series 5400 LatteGo if the household also needs decaf or pre-ground coffee without going through the grinder: the dedicated bypass allows it. In exchange only 4 personal profiles can be saved and the ready-made drink menu stops at 12, so more gets adjusted by hand each time.
Choose Perfection 680 if…
Pick the Perfection 680 if several people want their own settings saved: the 8 profiles cover a bigger group, and the 21-drink menu leaves less to adjust each time. In exchange there's no pre-ground bypass, so every cup goes through the built-in grinder.
