MILAN – At HostMilano 2025, Swiss coffee machine manufacturer Thermoplan will welcome visitors into a space where innovation meets coffee culture. This year, the company will transform its booth (Hall 8P, Stand B23-C24) into a stage for inspiration, cutting-edge technology, and memorable coffee moments, from October 17 to 21.
Thermoplan promises a range of new technologies, optimized solutions, and entirely new products — all designed to shape the hospitality industry of tomorrow. Naturally, the experience will be accompanied by coffee of the highest quality.
To build excitement ahead of the show, Thermoplan will reveal a new highlight from its booth every Thursday on Instagram and LinkedIn, offering a preview of what visitors can expect in Milan.
A new passion: tea at the touch of a button
Coffee may remain Thermoplan’s first love, but the company is now setting its sights on a new ritual: tea. From freshly harvested leaves to refreshing cold brews and warm, aromatic infusions, Thermoplan’s new tea technology delivers everything at the touch of a button. Details remain under wraps, but the company promises a Milan debut that blends innovation, flavor, and surprise — inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the future of automated tea preparation.
Maximum efficiency, minimal downtime
Thermoplan machines are built around a unique modular design, grouping all core functions into just two modules — mechanical and hydraulic. This clever engineering means maintenance and service can be performed in minutes, simply by swapping modules, dramatically reducing downtime. For busy cafés and restaurants, this is a crucial operational advantage. At HostMilano, visitors will be able to see first-hand how seamless and efficient service can be.
A world champion machine for professionals and beginners
Thermoplan’s Black&White4 Competizione is no ordinary coffee machine — it is the official machine of the World Latte Art Championships 2024–2027.
Combining robust Swiss engineering with advanced technology, the Competizione delivers consistent coffee quality and exceptional versatility.
Its intelligent steam lance allows both automated milk frothing at the touch of a button and precise textures for creative latte art. Visitors in Milan will be able to experience what makes this machine a champion, both on stage and in daily operations.
Next-generation user interface
In response to growing demand for self-service, Thermoplan is introducing a new Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed to elevate interaction between customers, machine, and brand.
With intuitive navigation, clean modern design, and extensive customization options — from branded backgrounds to thematic icons — the interface allows users to tailor drinks in just a few taps, adding extra shots, selecting roast levels, and more.
The result: every machine becomes a brand ambassador at the point of sale, delivering a frictionless, engaging experience that appeals to today’s digitally native consumers.
The Black&White4 family
Thermoplan recognizes that not all coffee service needs are the same. Its Black&White4 line is designed to deliver consistent quality even at high volumes — up to 500 cups per day.
For smaller venues, the Black&White4 compact offers the same performance on a smaller footprint (up to 150 cups/day), while the Black&White4 neo brings adaptive technology and sleek design for operations producing around 100 cups per day.
All models can be configured and customized to match the exact needs of each business and its clientele.
At HostMilano 2025, visitors will be able to test these machines hands-on and experience the breadth of Thermoplan’s innovations.
