WEGGIS, Switzerland – Thermoplan will be represented at HostMilano 2025 in Milan in Hall 8P, Stand B23/C24. This year’s HostMilano takes place from 17 to 21 October 2025 at the Fiera Milano exhibition center and is one of the most important international innovation fairs for the HoReCa, food service, and retail sectors. At its stand, Thermoplan will showcase the entire bean-to-cup journey and present several new products and innovations, including a special premiere: Thermoplan’s first tea machine.
Tea – a new passion
Coffee has long been Thermoplan’s signature passion – but the company is now entering a new realm: tea. At the Thermoplan stand, visitors can witness fresh tea leaves magically transformed into steaming, aromatic cups or cool, refreshing creations, all at the touch of a button.
Each cup is a journey of innovation, flavor, and delightful surprise, offering a sensory experience that captivates both the eyes and the palate. Attendees will be among the very first to taste this exclusive premiere and immerse themselves in the future of tea.
Mikafi – your coffee. your roast. your signature
Thermoplan brings the complete bean-to-cup journey to life. With the Mikafi roaster, visitors can watch green coffee beans turn into aromatic roasted coffee right before their eyes. Designed for all experience levels, Mikafi combines technological precision with simple operation.
Designed for all skill levels, Mikafi offers predefined roast profiles for beginners while giving experts full control to craft custom roasts and experiment with flavors. The green beans come from Bale, Ethiopia, where Thermoplan supports sustainable coffee farming through its uniqueBean project.
Redefining self-service – a more efficient user interface
Thermoplan is taking self-service to the next level: the optimized Graphical User Interface makes operation simpler, faster, and more personal. The interface combines modern design with intuitive navigation and extensive customization options – from branded backgrounds to themed icons.
In just a few steps, every customer can create their favorite drink, tailored to their preferences, e.g., with an extra shot or a special roast. Each machine thus becomes a convincing brand ambassador at the point of sale.
The GOAT of Automation – Black&White4 Competizione
Since 2024, the official machine for the SCA Latte Art World Championship, the Black&White4 Competizione delivers perfectly frothed milk and supports baristas with precision and top performance.
At its heart is the intelligent steam wand. The AirSteam function delivers ideal milk consistency at the touch of a button, while the AutoSteam function gives baristas full control over airflow and froth density. Both are monitored by an integrated sensor
to ensure the perfect milk temperature.
During HOST, Thermoplan will show visitors how to create a latte art heart in just 10 minutes – no prior latte art experience required.
ThermoplanConnect 2.0 – smarter and simpler ThermoplanConnect 2.0 takes telemetry to the next level
The system impresses with an intuitive interface, faster workflows, and greater independence: machines, locations, and content can be managed autonomously. Artificial intelligence adds real value: sales data and peak times are automatically recognized, and coffee bean requirements are precisely forecasted.
Live monitoring displays product usage and error messages in real time, while remote access allows for easy updates, new recipes, and promotions – everything needed for an efficient and profitable coffee business is unified in one system.
Black&White4 Family
Black&White4 Family – Ultimate Coffee Enjoyment Whether 100, 150, or 500 cups per day, the Black&White4 family offers the perfect fully automatic coffee machine for every operation. Each model can be customized to suit the requirements of the business and its guests.
Particularly innovative: the Black&White4c features a dual-milk solution for effortless beverage variety. The Black&White4neo PX goes a step further, enabling the use of milk powder for maximum flexibility. Visitors can experience the full range at the stand, test the machines themselves, and witness the quality, functionality, and innovation firsthand.
Minimal effort, maximum efficiency
Thermoplan’s unique modularity consolidates all key functions into just two modules: mechanics and hydraulics. This makes maintenance and service particularly efficient: modules can be replaced with minimal effort, and the machine is ready for use within minutes. Downtime is drastically reduced, a decisive advantage in the fast-paced hospitality environment.
Thermoplan’s team will be present from 17 to 21 October 2025 at Hall 8P, Stand B23/C24.
