Great long time equipment and bean supplier to our family! Would have been a 5 star rating but you should have FREE SHIPPING! Offended by your cheesy minimum free shipping purchase thresholds.

I have been buying espresso makers as well as coffee from Whole Latte Love for years. Their products are incredible, tech support is stellar, but most amazing is their customer service.

Online Tech Support - Always a pleasure.

This is my second time reaching out to WLL for replacement of a few small wear items on an ECM Synchronika.

Today I had the pleasure of working with Wayne and in very short order he helped me diagnose, identify replacement parts, and shared a video describing the fix in the detail.

WLL continues to earn my business with great customer service.

Thanks again, Wayne!

I had an issue with my ECM Synchronika

I had an issue with my ECM Synchronika. Scheduled a video tech session with Stephen...amazing! He knew just what to ask, trouble shot my symptoms and then offered suggestions for the remedy and was spot on. My machine is back up and working perfectly because of how well Stephen guided me through the repair steps. Always a pleasure working with Whole-Latte-Love and especially nice this time with Stephen!

Aftermath from descaling

I followed instructions about descaling my Gaggia Classic and in rinsing out the machine in the final stages of that process the water temp from the brew head went cold to luke warm and the steam wand stopped working. Wayne and Brian from TechSupport were helpful in diagnosing the issue, even though it didn't totally make sense to me and guess what, it worked. I replaced both thermostats and I"m good to go. Thanks guys!

Great company. Kenzie and Chris were wonderful.

I had the best experience with this company. Called with a few models in mind and Chris helped me very admirably. After placing my order, Kenzie picked up and helped me through a couple of mistakes I had made in the order process and I ended up happier than I started. She could not have been more thoughtful and caring. I enthusiastically recommend whole latte love to any and all who are interested in their coffee experience. Really great company really great people. I am so happy.

Whole Latte Love Rewards Points Program Silently Discontinued

Hi. Two weeks ago I purchased a new "prosumer" espresso machine from WLL; my third machine from the company. I enquired today about the Rewards points and was told that purchases no longer earn points. The WLL website does not mention that the Rewards program has been discontinued, nor does it mention that the Rewards program is still in use. But there is a full section on the WLL website is dedicated to the Rewards program. Very disappointed in WLL's poor communication and secrecy.

Thank you for your feedback, and we truly appreciate your continued support over the years.

You're absolutely right to expect clear communication, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion surrounding the Rewards program. The program has been discontinued, but we understand how frustrating it is to find outdated information still live on our site. We’re actively working to update our content to reflect this change more accurately and transparently.

Kenzie is amazing! WLL is great!

I spoke to Kenzie on the live chat feature and she was more than amazing and helpful. She helped me honor a discount that I missed by a day, and she recommended me machines that fit my needs. She’s very knowledgeable and answered my million questions patiently and thoroughly. It felt like I was talking to a friend. Thank you so much WLL for having people like Kenzie to help clueless people like me make great (hopefully great… haha) at home.

I deeply appreciate exceptional…

I deeply appreciate exceptional service, so I want to commend everyone at Whole Latte Love for going above and beyond to make my experience truly remarkable.

I initially spoke with Kensie (apologies if I misspelled her name), who was incredibly helpful. We had a thorough conversation, and even after narrowing down my options to a few units, I never felt rushed. She encouraged me to research further and make a decision when I was ready. After some consideration, I chose the ECM Synchronika II and Atom 65 grinder, which were among her top recommendations. Looking back, they were perfect choices.

When the Synchronika arrived, I eagerly set it up, only to find it wouldn’t power on—a huge disappointment. Despite troubleshooting on my own, I had no luck. On the advice of their team, I tried the tech support chat on their website. Within minutes, I was connected with a technician. A few minutes later, we removed a panel and discovered a loose internal plug, likely dislodged during shipping. Problem solved!

Later that week, I noticed the brew lever retracting slightly when fully opened, restricting flow without manual intervention. I hopped back on the tech chat, and the team immediately identified the issue. They instructed me to flush the unit, explaining that new machines can sometimes be over-lubricated from the factory. Sure enough, one flush fixed it perfectly.

Now, several weeks later, I’m in complete bliss. This setup is an absolute dream, producing the most incredible espresso I’ve ever tasted. Beyond performance, it’s a stunning piece of craftsmanship—a true work of art. I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the entire Whole Latte Love team. It's been an absolute pleasure, from their outstanding YouTube content to the seamless purchase experience and exceptional support.

Peter, was very polite and very thorough in his explanations and included 3 different types of Video's for me to watch and guide me through the rest of the process of descaling my Brera!

Customer Service is SUPERB

Recently replaced my Gaggia Accademia (old) with a Gaggia Magenta. When I could not find a video on how to remove and clean the drip spout, the Whole Latte Love service team ( Peter) quickly responded with videos by Ted, on how to remove and replace the drip spout. Easy once you saw the video's.
Customer Service is superb.

Amazing customer service

Great selection of products, but even more impressive is the 5 star customer service! I’m a newbie when it comes to home espresso making (I woke up one morning and realized I love good coffee way too much to be drinking pods at home, and decided to do something about it). I’ve called Whole Latte Love several times with tons of probably dumb questions. They are always so patient with me, and very very knowledgeable about all the products. I wish I jotted down the names of everyone I spoke with. I would like to give a shout out to a few team members I corresponded with about a damaged product I received (likely in transit)— Tim, Alyssa, and Kristin all helped handle the issue swiftly, and went above and beyond to make me feel like a valued customer. Truly, I won’t even think about purchasing products elsewhere. This has been a great experience. Thanks to the whole latte love team!

The techs on chat are very responsive.
They offered a quick check for repair which I did, but it appears it's more extensive than the DIY option.
Hopefully I'll get a replacement in shot order...
Stay tuned...
