Why Thermoplan

Cafe-quality drinks without the barista training

The Black&White4 grinds, brews, textures milk and programs every drink in one machine. Your staff press one button and get the same drink every time, from the first coffee of the morning to the last of a busy day.

Consistent every shot

Intelligent Shot Quality (ISQ) monitoring keeps espresso extraction on target throughout the day.

Dual grinders

Two grinders and two bean hoppers let you run two different coffees, such as a house blend and a decaf, and keep up during rushes.

Fresh milk, hot or cold

Automatic milk (CTM) models make lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites and cold foam at the touch of a button.

High-volume hardware

Full-size models have a 24-gram brew chamber and a dual boiler system made for 500+ drinks a day.

Modular design

Major parts such as the hydraulic and brewing modules swap out quickly, so a repair means hours of downtime, not days.

Automatic cleaning

Built-in cleaning programs keep the machine sanitary with minimal staff time at closing.

FAQ

Thermoplan Black&White4 questions

What is the difference between CTS and CTM?

CTS (Coffee, Tea, Steam) has a steam wand, so a barista textures the milk by hand. CTM (Coffee, Tea, Milk) has an automatic milk system that makes lattes and cappuccinos in one step at the touch of a button.

What do RS, RL, P and F mean?

RS and RL mean the machine has a built-in milk fridge. RS holds about 4 liters; RL holds about 9 liters and on compact models supports two milks. P adds a powder hopper for chocolate and mochas. F adds a flavor syrup module. CTM2 and CTS2 mean the machine has two grinders.

Is the Black&White4 the same as a BUNN machine?

Machines sold in the US under BUNN names, such as Bunn CTS or Bunn CTM, were made by Thermoplan on the same platform. Black&White4, Black and White 4, B&W4 and BW4 all refer to the same Swiss-built machine. The compact version is written B&W4c or BW4c.

Is this the espresso machine Starbucks uses?

Not exactly. Starbucks uses the Mastrena, which Thermoplan makes. The Black&White4 comes from the same Swiss manufacturer and is built for the same kind of high-volume service.

Does it need professional installation?

Yes. Every Black&White4 needs the right electrical circuit, a water line with filtration and a drain. We check your site first, then install, program and train your staff.

How many drinks a day can it make?

Full-size Black&White4 models are built for 500+ drinks a day. Compact B&W4c models are built for 350+ drinks a day.

Do you service Thermoplan machines?

Yes. Our technicians repair and maintain Thermoplan machines across NJ, NY, CT and PA. See our service rates for pricing.
