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.

Fast and easy

Fast and easy. I was looking for an E&B Lab mocha pot. Luckily, this site had them in stock. Ordering was quick and easy. The product shipped and arrived quickly. I love this mocha pot and would use this site again.

Gaggia Accademia 2022 E14 Error

Purchased Gaggia Accademia 2022 in Dec 2024. Started getting E14 error which is related to boiler not heating up. While I had the option to send the machine in, Tim from technical support was incredibly helpful by walking through entire process of testing what the issue might be. Video link showed how I can open the machine and test components, more specifically thermostats, that could be defective. Once determined, Tim sent the replacement parts which got the machine back working.

Thank you Tim for all your support and meticulous walkthrough to identify issue and resolve.

Sent me a damaged machine

Sent me a damaged machine. Made it incredibly difficult to refund and exchange and had to go through CC company to dispute. I do not recommend using this company.

I am dyslexic and typing can be an issue for me at times. She was patient and very attentive in helping me get to a solution.

WholeLatteLove great company

WholeLatteLove great company.
I ordered a Bezerra Aria and it arrived in Florida just a week later. The machine was perfectly packaged and I absolutely love it!

My system came with flow control. After trying it a few times, I noticed the gauge on the brew head was indicating 12 bars while the pump pressure was showing ~9 bars - which isn't possible.

I contacted the online help desk at WholeLatteLove. Within just 5 minutes of starting a chat, they confirmed they're sending me a new brew head pressure gauge!

Fantastic customer and technical service!

Amazing tech support

I bought my Gaggia coffee machine from Whole Latte Love in 2020. Great company and very easy to work with. Fast forward 5 years when I had my first technical issue. After reviewing the website I setup a call with a technician and within a day Tim sent me an email troubleshooting my issue and providing guidance through videos and photographs of where to inspect the machine. The issue was resolved before even getting on a call, but I decided to have the conversation as I had a few additional questions. The call was handled very efficiently and Tim was super helpful. My issue was resolved, only needed a new o-ring, and I went happily on my way. Tim sent a summary email and I cannot thank him enough. Great experience all around and I added a regular subscription of beans in addition to the kit to help with the problem. Thanks so much.

Alyssa and Zack were awesome!

Alyssa and Zack were awesome!
They took the time to answer all my questions and made me a great deal on the machine I wanted. I was about to purchase another machine from SCG
and I’m very happy I contacted Whole Latte Love. I should receive my machine next week and quite excited for delicious espresso drinks.

I have been renovating my machine and…

I have been renovating my machine and getting it updated with new parts, and in doing so, realized I needed a new boiler probe. WLL has a great spare parts directory with easy-to-understand parts diagrams and inventory of parts. The boiler probe I needed was on backorder and the website & sales technician I spoke with both noted it would be 2-4 weeks for delivery. That has turned into quite a bit more and customer service has been kind in communicating that to me. I recommended they update that information on the website to better manage expectations, and Brynne in customer service was exceptionally receptive of that feedback! Although I'm waiting longer than expected for my replacement probe to deliver, (from Europe... makes sense today?!?!), there's not much WLL could do differently to improve that, except to refresh backorder timelines for setting better expectations!

I'm still happy with the service I'm getting!

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and yes, we are very sorry about the delays in receiving parts from overseas. We're happy to hear our communication has been helpful and we are doing everything we can to work on our backorder timelines; we just don't have accurate answers to evaluate. We appreciate your kind review.

WholeLatteLove's customer support chat…

WholeLatteLove's customer support chat is a lifesaver!!! They are so responsive and give thorough, relevant help, diagnosing issues and directing you to the appropriate step-by-step videos from their extensive library. It makes it doable to maintain the utmost quality without spending the arduous troubleshooting/research time that no home barista has (and some simply don't like), by having professional guidance right at your fingertips!! THANK YOU guys!

I ordered a Gaggia Pro Eco…

I ordered a Gaggia Pro Eco (refurbished) machine in the latter part of April. It seemed to be a good deal (refurbished with a further 20% off). I had expected to give this as a present to some friends. The original delivery date with UPS was on 30 April 2025. For what ever reason it was not delivered and sent back to Whole Latte Love. I called them and it was supposed to be redelivered. It was not. On four different days it was supposed to be delivered. This may be a screw up on UPS’s part. I do not know. It appears that Whole Latte Love does not track the orders that they ship out to customers. Today I had to insist on a full refund. At no point in time did Whole Latte Love offer to make this right for me. I now have to find a new gift for my friends. Unfortunately, Whole Latta Love is the only game in town to obtain a Gaggia Pro Evo.

My update to their reply is as follows. Their reply states that my address was "entered incorrectly". I have the original order confirmation dated 30 April that has my address listed which is the correct address. The address error was at their end not mine. If Whole Latta Love wants to make this right they need to ship me another machine at the agreed to price.

While we’re able to track packages, we don’t have the ability to physically retrieve or redirect them once they’re in transit. Based on the tracking information, it appears the street number was entered incorrectly at the time of order, which unfortunately led to delays and the package being returned to sender.

Please know that we made multiple efforts to assist you with this delivery, and we’re truly sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

I received multiple emails from support which was very helpful.. I thought my Babila could not be repaired and if it could, I would need to send the machine in for support. None of that happened the email support I received was enough with the videos which resolved all my issues.

Whole Latte Love is awesome

Whole Latte Love is awesome. I love the educational materials they provide on their site and their support is always very knowledgeable and helpful. I purchased my espresso maker from them eight years ago and they've provided any parts and maintenance support I've needed over the years.

Super helpful chat support

Needed a replacement part for my Gaggia Accademia (which I lost, not a problem with unit). I could not find it on the WLL site. Contacted chat support (agent ZR) and they had the correct part for me in less than 30 seconds. Whole Latte Love is my go to for all things coffee for many reasons- selection, support videos, repair and maintenance, super fast delivery, and now chat!
