We are at the Host 2023 - with a new appearance!
We've been looking forward to October all year! Because after two years, the time has come again - the Host in Milan is coming up, one of the most important innovation fairs worldwide. Of course we will also be there, this year with a completely new appearance!
From 13 to 17 October, we will be presenting our fully automatic coffee machines and innovations at the Host. You will find us in Hall 18, Stand B60/C59 - we are looking forward to your visit!
We also have a few highlights in store for you.
New look for our trade fair stand
We have completely redesigned our exhibition stand. For the design, we took our cue from our new building unique, which will be opened in March 2024. On a total area of 135 m2 we present our coffee machines as well as innovations and highlights to the visitors of the host. An impressive atrium stretches across the entire stand and functions as a digital media wall on which we present our latest developments and special features. This design provides the perfect balance between openness and yet aesthetic separation from the outside world. The floor, an interplay of travertine and carpet, gives the stand an open feel and contributes to a comfortable and bright atmosphere. Another eye-catcher is our 15 m2 green sustainability wall, which consists of many individual plant pots. Thanks to two ramps, complete accessibility for all guests is guaranteed.
Perfected modular system
At the exhibition stand, we let the guests look directly into our fully automatic coffee machines. The first thing you notice is that there are only two modules. That's right, because all machine functions on our machines are combined in just two elements - mechanics and hydraulics. This means that service work is only carried out on these two components and complete modules can be replaced within a few minutes. This saves time, but above all it avoids long downtimes of the coffee machines. At our stand, we will be happy to demonstrate how our modular system is constructed and how it works
Independence thanks to remote access
With the innovative Remote Access from ThermoplanConnect, you have control over your coffee machine from anywhere. Whether you are a restaurant owner who wants to take a look at the performance or a barista who wants to load new recipes onto the machine from home - you are completely independent. With your smartphone, tablet or computer, you can conveniently access the settings of your machine and time-consuming on-site handling is no longer necessary. Control the machine simply and time-savingly from a distance.
Black&White4 neo PX
The Black&White4 neo is characterized by its remarkable adaptability and always strives to adapt to the desired needs of customers. We are pleased to present the "PX" module at the Host! With the help of this innovative module, the neo processes milk powder into milk and milk foam. This is Thermoplan's response to the increasing demand and use of milk powder in the catering sector. In addition, the use of milk powder brings numerous other advantages, including longer shelf life, better heat resistance, lighter weight, compactness and increased hygiene. Although the "PX" module is not yet in series production, we would still like to demonstrate its impressive features to you on site in Milan.
Cold Coffee Bar
Would you like a refreshing kick? At our stand we treat visitors with our exclusive Cold Coffee speciality. Our varied drinks menu offers the right drink for every taste. Whether you're craving a wake-up shot for the energy boost you need, want a minty refreshment or would rather try a sweet temptation that tastes like popcorn - our baristi will ensure an incomparable taste experience. A stop at our Cold Coffee Bar will definitely be a highlight!
Collaboration with Mikafi
We're on the verge of an exciting moment, as we are finally ready to unveil the coffee roaster created in collaboration with the Zurich-based startup Mikafi! Since January 2022, we have nurtured this strong partnership with Mikafi, offering our resources, extensive expertise, and facilities to aid in the development and production of this roaster. Designed to fit seamlessly in any café, this roaster freshly roasts green coffee beans on-site within minutes, precisely to the desired roast profile, creating a truly unique atmosphere. At the Host, we will introduce this roaster to a wide international audience for the first time. With this device, in partnership with Mikafi, we aim to elevate the coffee experience to new heights!
Black&White4 CTS - the new steam solution
We have a new member - welcome to the Black&White4 CTS! The outstanding feature of this machine is its multifunctional steam lance, which fulfils three functions at once. The Purge function, which cleans the lance, the AutoSteam function for conventional foaming in the pitcher and AirSteam, which foams the milk fully automatically. The CTS expands Thermoplan's product range with a coffee machine that enables anyone to create the perfect milk foam without necessarily needing barista experience and regardless of whether you are a professional or a beginner. Nevertheless, the simple operation by means of levers and buttons gives the feeling of a traditional portafilter. The CTS is designed for a daily demand of 350 steam products.
