Cuzen Matcha has launched the Cuzen Matcha Maker Pro, a commercial-grade machine designed to handle matcha preparation in busy cafés, restaurants, hotels and workplaces.

The new machine responds to growing global demand for matcha. Equipped with dual mill units, the Matcha Maker Pro produces two shots of matcha in 40 seconds – which, according to the company, is more than twice as fast as the original consumer version – while automating the storage, grinding and whisking process in a single countertop unit.

Over 30 pilot customers in the US and Japan have tested the Cuzen Matcha Maker Pro in settings such as cafés, hotels, spas and corporate offices. Locations including Dean & Deluca Hawaii, Ritual Coffee in San Francisco and Fairmont Spa Century Plaza in Los Angeles report serving 30 to 100 matcha drinks per day with the machine, citing its speed and consistency as key advantages.

The Cuzen Matcha Maker Pro offers seven adjustable strength levels to accommodate customer preferences and is designed for quick cleaning to minimise downtime. It is currently UL certified, with NSF certification expected in mid-2025.

Eijiro Tsukada, founder and CEO of Cuzen Matcha, said: “Matcha is known for its unique balance of caffeine and l-theanine, providing sustained energy and focus without the crash associated with coffee. But until now, producing matcha at a high volume with consistency and excellence has been a challenge."

"The Cuzen Matcha Maker Pro simplifies the process and ensures each matcha shot is as fresh and flavorful as possible. It is a perfect solution for high-end cafes looking to distinguish themselves in a saturated market as well as employers wanting to provide a superior amenity to employees returning to the office.”
