Thermoplan BW4 Compact

Overview

The Thermoplan BW4 Compact brings the proven Black & White 4 technology to smaller-footprint installations where the full-size unit cannot fit. Designed for grab-and-go counters, kiosks, hotel lobbies, and boutique cafés, the Compact maintains the same brewing technology, milk system, and drink quality as its larger sibling while reducing width by 12 percent and depth by 7 percent. A single grinder replaces the dual-hopper setup, which is sufficient for venues using one bean profile. The same ceramic burr grinder used in the full BW4 ensures identical grind quality. The touchscreen interface supports the full drink menu with customizable recipes. Thermoplan's automated cleaning system operates during service hours with minimal downtime. Fresh milk integration with automatic temperature management produces consistent microfoam. The Compact supports 150 to 250 drinks per day — adequate for most smaller-volume commercial settings. Like all Thermoplan equipment, the BW4 Compact is sold through authorized commercial channels with installation, training, and ongoing technical support included. Swiss engineering quality ensures years of reliable commercial service.

The Thermoplan BW4 Compact comes equipped with PID temperature control for precise brewing, pre-infusion for even extraction. It features a thermoblock boiler system made of stainless steel. The gear pump delivers 15.0 bars of pressure for optimal extraction.

Priced at $12,999, the Thermoplan BW4 Compact is designed for passionate enthusiasts and semi-commercial users who accept nothing but the best. As a super-automatic machine, it handles everything from grinding to extraction at the touch of a button — perfect for convenience without sacrificing quality.

In terms of build quality, the Thermoplan BW4 Compact is a substantial machine, weighing in at 35.0 kg, manufactured in Switzerland, drawing 3000W of power. With dimensions of 300 x 530 x 680 mm (W×D×H), make sure you have adequate counter space. This machine requires direct plumbing, which provides unlimited water supply but needs professional installation.
