About This Machine
What is the Thermoplan Black&White4 CTM P RL?
The Black&White4 CTM P RL adds a powder hopper to the one-touch CTM, so the same machine makes lattes and cappuccinos, real mochas and creamy hot chocolate. A built-in 9 L fridge holds two milks, and dual grinders keep up with 500+ drinks a day.
Who the CTM P RL is for
- Hotels and resorts with family guests and a full breakfast menu
- Corporate offices that want coffee, mochas and hot chocolate
- Airport and airline lounges
- Convenience stores, travel plazas and self-serve stations
- Cafes that sell a lot of mochas and kids' hot chocolate
Why choose the CTM P RL
- One machine covers coffee drinkers and non-coffee drinkers
- Mochas and hot chocolate made with fresh milk foam, not hot water
- Two milks, such as whole and oat, kept cold inside the machine
- Full self-serve safety: cup detection, bean detection and automatic outlet
Key Features
Built for busy coffee programs
Chocolate and powder
A built-in powder hopper makes hot chocolate, mochas and specialty powder drinks at one touch.
Automatic milk
Thermoplan's patented milk system textures fresh milk hot or cold for every drink.
Two milks
The 9 L fridge holds two milk types, so you can offer dairy and a plant-based option.
Dual grinders
Run two coffees side by side, such as an espresso blend and a decaf, and keep up during rushes.
High-volume hardware
A 24-gram brew chamber and dual boiler system made for 500+ drinks a day.
Modular design
Brewing and hydraulic modules swap out quickly, so a repair means hours of downtime, not days.

FAQ
Thermoplan CTM P RL questions
What does CTM P RL mean?
CTM is Coffee, Tea and Milk: one-touch drinks with an automatic milk system. P adds a powder hopper for chocolate and specialty drinks. RL means a built-in refrigerated milk module (about 9 liters) that holds two kinds of milk.
What drinks can it make?
Espresso, americano, coffee, lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, macchiatos, mochas, hot chocolate, iced and cold foam drinks, tea water and ambient water, all from the touchscreen.
What powder can I use?
The hopper is designed for chocolate powder and other soluble drink powders. We'll recommend products that work well with the machine when we program your menu.
CTM P RL or the compact CTM2 P RL?
Both make the same menu. The full-size CTM P RL is built for 500+ drinks a day with larger hoppers and a bigger brew chamber. The compact CTM2 P RL is narrower and built for 350+ drinks a day.
Is the CTM P RL the same as a BUNN CTM P RL?
Yes, it is the same platform. Machines sold in the US under BUNN names, such as Black&White4 CTM P RL 59000.0006, were made by Thermoplan in Switzerland.
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, plus about 27.2 in of counter width. We check your site before you order, then deliver, connect it to your water supply, program your drinks and train your staff.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Equipment financing is available for qualified businesses. Ask about it when you request a quote.
Do you service Thermoplan machines?
Yes. Our technicians repair and maintain Thermoplan machines across NJ, NY, CT and PA. See our service rates and maintenance service.
