Pep Guardiola had demanded more from the Bundesliga champions prior to Saturday's game, after they had begun 2015 in uncharacteristically inconsistent fashion.
And Bayern responded in style, as they once again hammered Hamburg - opponents they put nine past in the corresponding fixture two seasons ago - with Robben and Muller to the fore.
Muller began the rout from the penalty spot, before Mario Gotze and a brilliant Robben strike put them 3-0 up at the break.
Robben added his second two minutes after the restart - his 14th goal in 17 Bundesliga appearances this season - before Robert Lewandowski and Muller made it six before the hour.
Franck Ribery, returning from his thigh injury, came off the bench to make it 7-0, before Gotze rounded the scoring off two minutes from time as Bayern warmed up for their Champions League last-16 trip to Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday in perfect fashion.
