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.

Shout out to excellent tech service person Wayne!

Our wonderful Rocket Espresso machine stopped working, and after an informative online chat with Wayne, we figured we'd try the most straightforward thing first. He quickly provided not only the part number, but the order form and an informative schematic. Later I had further questions and because your online chat allows re-opening an old chat, I didn't have to repeat all the details. Amazingly I got Wayne again, and he was able to further clarify what we needed to do. Fingers crossed that we'll soon be back to our lovely lattes.

Full Circle Support

I am a painful customer in some regards. I have trouble deciding, always need more information, or simply don't have time to dedicate hours upon hours of corrective action labor or product research. There is no way I'm sitting on the phone with customer service.

That is why I put Whole Latte Love at the forefront of my second automatic coffee/latte/espresso quest. My first unit had a failed part at one point, sent an email summing up my dilemma, and these guys had me a replacement as well as quick video in no time.

After running my first Gaggia [seemingly] around the clock, I needed to get a new one on back-up. The dilemma of which unit would have me perplexed. Back to the Whole Latte Love for jockeying email. In to rescue my day came the fabulous gent, John! I conveyed my likes/necessities in a unit. Like lightening, he had a message back to me on units matching my description as well as an offer to advise sprucing up my existing unit. I have no time for that and John got the picture. Naturally, I had to interrogate him a bit regarding a couple negative reviews I had read but all was clarified and in my purchase went! Shortly after, John hooked me up with some product preview links so I could be ready once the machine came.

I 100% remained with the Whole Latte Love team because of their legitimate products, accessible support (I can't always get to customer service during regular hours), and commitment to warranty & service issues/concerns. Keep up the good work!

Thanks a million for taking time to back your products. John, keep the patience and clarity going.

Amazing Support

Peter from technical support really put an effort to tackle my problem. I was a bit scared of dismantling things but thanks to his help, I just fixed the problem so easily. I don't know if you can receive same amount of support from any other company. Highly recommend it!

World Class Customer Support!

Customer Support: Incredible! I had an issue with a new grinder and Wayne totally made my day! He coached me through disassembly of the unit to resolve the relatively minor problem, kept me calm as I did so, and gave me really useful information about grinder maintenance for future reference. Now I’m much more confident about caring for my machine in future. I’m feeling the love for Whole Latte Love.❤️ thanks guys!

Had problems making espresso

Had problems getting espresso made with out being bitter. Mark took the time to discuss with me my process and equipment. Mark recommended taking an espresso class.

I learned so much from the class, upgraded my grinder from WLL. Now making espressos reminiscent of Italy.

Thanks Mark for your guidance.

A+ customer support

I bought a Profitec Go a couple years ago. It works great but I had a minor issue which I wasn't sure how to fix. Wayne from customer support was able to quickly find a solution. The conversation maybe lasted 5 minutes which is amazing. I was also impressed that he could address this so quickly given that they must have hundreds of machines they need to be knowledgable about.

Great customer service at Whole Latte Love

OK, today I called Whole Latte Love to talk to a sales rep about an espresso machine I was interested in. I was lucky to get Missy! I described my usage of the ECM Classica, which is an awesome espresso machine, but it didn’t meet my expectations for milk drinks. I discussed my ongoing efforts to use the ECM more smoothly for milk drinks. Not only could Missy provide me guidance with how to streamline my usage of the ECM in making milk drinks; she was also very knowledgeable about the other machine I was interested in. I’m impressed that someone who is as young as one of my children is so knowledgeable in the makings of these prosumer quality espresso machines! My hat goes off to her for her knowledge and spunk and congrats to whole latte love for maintaining such a knowledgeable customer service team. It’s not the first time I’ve used them to guide me. I bought my first machine with their guidance and now I’m buying my second machine with their expertise.😊

Great Support for 2005 Gaggia Carezza!

I have a 2005 Gaggia Carezza that was having issues, and I wrote a support request on the WholeLatteLove web site, not really hoping too much given the age of my device. Not only did I get a response, but I got it within hours, via email, with a parts list for the old model I had, as well as some suggestions for how to repair the issue myself. Amazingly helpful, and really great service! Peter was the tech who helped me.

Great customer support from Stephen!

I had a problem with my Profitec machine. Scheduled a Zoom call with WLL. Stephen was great. He quickly sorted out the problem and then gave me some really good maintenance advice, responding to all my questions. He then followed up the call with a very helpful email later in the day. Great service from WLL! Great service from Stephen!

Lily is da real MVP

Lily is da real MVP. I reached out earlier regarding an order to see if I could swap the colors of the Profitec Go I just ordered the day before but they told me it had been shipped out already and nothing could be done unless I exchanged it after I received my order. Fine, but when I didn’t receive a tracking number I reached out again and spoke with Lily this time. She told me my order was in the final stages of packing/shipping (?!). Unfortunately the Profitec was already packaged but instead of just telling me no, she offered me a more cost-effective and expedited option.

You could tell she was actually paying attention to the customer rather than giving the same “resolution” the other support team member gave me. Responses were more thoughtful and thorough and she is the reason Clive Coffee isn’t bookmarked yet lol

As a loyal WLL customer

As a loyal WLL customer, I have never disappointed with purchases and customer chat. Today I was inquiring about upgrading my current Gaggia classic machine to a prosumer PID/Dual boiler machines. Kenzie is such an amazing person that guided me through with key words: PID/Dual Boiler, Pump type and head group. Kenzie also shortlisted some of the machines that might fit my need and budget. Everything Kenzie provided is very helpful and will help me to narrow down the options. It's a pleasure chatting with Kenzie and looking forward to nailing down my next machine soon!

Excellent Tech Support

After 9 years of use, I received my first error message on my Gaggia Platinum Swing Up machine. Resetting the machine (i.e. turning it on and off) did not work so I emailed Tech Support at Whole Latte Love and I promptly received a reply from Peter with specific things to try. I clicked on the video link, followed the detailed instructions in the video and it worked!! I am not very mechanically-inclined but the instructions in the video were very detailed and easy to follow. Thank you for your help!!

Terrible Warranty Experience

Bought a Profitec Pro-600 from Whole Latte Love about 2 years ago and I've had several issues so far. Once the water level meter went out and had to be fixed (not a huge issue). Another time the boiler heater stopped working and since I'm on the other side of the country it would've cost $400 for a 2 way shipment. They tried some basic things to diagnose the problem via email but it was useless. The cost to fix it (even though it's under warranty still) was about $300. Then the machine stopped pumping water into one of the boilers altogether. Now it's back at the shop. I don't know how much it will cost this time but the part they suspect is bad will be more than $200 plus labor.
I emailed Whole Latte Love to see if they could at least get me the parts since it was under warranty but they just closed the ticket on me.
I would suggest staying away from this brand of machines or any that they carry if you live far from NY. The cost to ship 2 ways on a 50 lbs or more item will quickly surpass what the machine is worth and these guys don't seem to care to want to help.

BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE ANYWHERE

I've been on several chats with the folks at Whole Latte Love. They have the best chat customer service I have ever experienced anywhere. For repair questions, it feels like I'm just talking to my buddy next door who's good at fixing things. I spent 20 minutes today with Peter trying to problem solve an issue. We figured out the issue but it wasn't a part they sell. All the same, he found the part on eBay and sent me a link. Who does that? Most places would just say, send it in to us. But since this was an $11 part and shipping/repair would have cost me $250 I wanted to give it a try. Buy your makers from these guys and come back to them when you need help. End to end, an amazing company.
