Key Features

Built for busy coffee programs

Competition steam wand

The same steam wand used at the World Latte Art Championships, built for precise microfoam.

AutoSteam + AirSteam

Set the target temperature and foam level once. The wand stops on its own when you need a free hand.

Dual grinders

Run two coffees side by side, such as an espresso blend and a single origin.

ISQ shot monitoring

Intelligent Shot Quality checks every extraction and keeps espresso consistent all day.

Designer finishes

Chestnut wood accents as standard from our distributor, with chrome, black and other finishes by request.

Modular design

Brewing and hydraulic modules swap out quickly, so a repair means hours of downtime, not days.

FAQ

Thermoplan Competizione questions

What makes the Competizione different from the CTS?

Both are built on the same Black&White4 Coffee, Tea, Steam platform. The Competizione adds a competition-grade steam wand, the one used at the World Latte Art Championships, and a premium design with finishes such as chestnut wood accents. The CTS is the standard steam wand model.

Is it really used at the World Latte Art Championships?

Yes. The Black&White4 Competizione is the official machine of the World Latte Art Championships.

Which finishes are available?

Our distributor stocks the Competizione with chestnut wood accents. Chrome, black and other custom finishes can be ordered. Ask us for current options and lead times.

Does the Competizione include a milk fridge?

No. Milk is steamed by hand in a pitcher, so you use your existing milk fridge.

Is this the espresso machine Starbucks uses?

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

What do I need to install it?

A dedicated 208 V, 24 A circuit, a water line with filtration and a drain. We check your site before you order, then deliver, connect it to your water supply, program your drinks and train your staff.
