The Mastrena 2 espresso machine, like the one above, is made by the Swiss company Thermoplan AG. 🤝The company was founded in 1974, but its history with Starbucks only began in 1999, when it entered into an exclusive espresso machine supply contract with the giant American coffee store.

Thermoplan AG made Starbucks the super-automatic coffee machine, the Verismo 801, until 2008. This was then replaced by the Mastrena, an espresso machine very similar to the Verismo 801, other than for its smaller size.

Starbucks is currently distributing the Mastrena II to many of its cafes and expects to continue doing so until 2022.

🙅‍♂️Because of the terms of the exclusive contract, Thermoplan AG will not sell you a machine that is still in use by Starbucks. However, once Starbucks stops using a particular line, Thermoplan AG normally rebrands it and continues to sell it in the open market.

After the Verismo 801 was discontinued, the company introduced the Black and White CTS2 in the commercial market.

Where can you buy Mastrena 2 espresso machine?

The Mastrena 2 espresso machine is not yet available for sale in the commercial market, so you will not be able to buy a new one anywhere. This is because it is the brand that is currently in use at Starbucks.

Under the exclusive license, Thermoplan AG manufacturer is restricted to making this machine just for Starbucks. Unfortunately, a second-hand Mastrena 2 is also hard to come by.

Why is a Mastrena espresso machine so expensive?

This is an industrial machine that handles a substantial amount of espresso grounds in less time than other espresso machines. It is also expensive because it has to maintain high-quality standards of beverages.

Since Starbucks has to make Frappuccinos with Java Chips all day, it had to invest in a good espresso machine, and Mastrena meets its demand.
