 Press Releases

  • Reno, December 14, 2022. For the first time, Thermoplan USA is represented at NAFEM. The Swiss-based manufacturer of fully automatic coffee machines will introduce the Black&White4 CTMplus and the Black&White4 neo CTM P to the North American market. The family-owned company is responding to the growing need for plant-based milk alternatives, which can be frothed and processed at a premium level with the CTMplus. With the Black&White4 neo CTM P, Thermoplan is presenting a compact machine for the self-service sector, which can be used to create chocolate beverages, among other things.

    The Thermoplan team will be exhibiting at NAFEM 2023 at the Orange County Convention Center in the South Hall A, booth 426 and present its flagship machines. NAFEM is a trade association of 600+ commercial food service equipment and supplies manufacturers, entrenched in the industry for more than 70 years. 

    One of the highlights, the Black&White4 CTM plus, combines maximum daily capacity and barista craftsmanship in one fully automatic coffee machine. Three functions cover all needs from maximum output to an individual barista experience. The Black&White4 CTMplus is an all-rounder that combines three unique benefits:

    1. Producing coffee and milk beverages through the standard machine spout
    2. Drawing in milk and milk alternatives directly from the original packaging, processing in the Thermoplan milk system and dispensing through the beverage spout
    3. Frothing of milk or milk alternatives from the integrated refrigerator through the milk wand into a pitcher for creating latte art if desired

    «The Black&White4 CTMplus serves the full range of taste and coffee expertise, making it easy to switch between barista craft and peak performance up to 500 cups per day,» explains Thermoplan USA Managing Director Nick Terry.

    The second highlight, the Black&White4 neo CTM P, delivers premium-level coffee, milk, and chocolate beverages for lower volume applications of up to 100 cups per day. Utilizing Thermoplans world-renowned milk technology, the neo CTM P delivers premium milk beverages rarely seen in this category. The powder unit is a built-in solution that can be maintained easily and intuitively. The mixer has overflow protection which prevents the chocolate mixture from overflowing in the event of a blockage. These features ensure that the Black&White4 neo CTM P is a sure-fire winner in the self-service sector.

    Both machines as well as other Thermoplan fully automatic coffee machines can be viewed on site at NAFEM and all products can be tasted. All machines presented are available immediately on the North American market.
