NB: chacun de ces aspects pourra être repris en mineur – exemple : si l’entrée principale pour l’Europe du Nord est à travers les tasses blanches, le message de perfection des tasses noires sera aussi à véhiculer… idem pour les aspects interface et personnalisation.

My question: is this referring to black and/or white coffee?

Explanation:
At first, like colleagues in discussion, wasn't sure about this but it seems clear from this line of context from another question you've posted that this is, in fact, about coffee machines/makers/grinders (you haven't given us the type of machine/product) normally drunk black (like americanos or expressos or filtered) or white (like cappucinos etc) as a different grind (and often blend or roast) of coffee is used for different types.
