Description
The Krups XP1020 is a steam driven machine that can brew up to four cups of espresso at a time. Steam driven machines have no pump or boiler, unlike the majority of machines that Whole Latte Love carries. Water is heated to steaming temperature in the same place that it is poured into, so you cannot refill the water until the machine has cooled. The coffee will brew directly into a 4-cup glass carafe that has an easy to grip handle. Once you’ve made your espresso, simply use the oversized contro
Gaggia Sync Compact
Today while I was making a coffee in my wonderful Gaggia super-automatic, a nasty "squealing" noise occurred, which I had never heard before. I turned the machine off, pulled out the brew group, cleaned it and everything else I could see. The noise did more or less go away, though there was still a bit of a remnant. I have performed descaling once, when I was instructed to do so, and I try to clean the brew group every so often.

Whole Latte Love Staff This is an issue of lubrication. The brew unit needs to be lubricated with food edible grease. This will solve the problem of the squealing brew unit. You can purchase this product by calling us at 1-888-411-5282 and asking for a tube of Petro Gel grease.
Saeco Magic de Luxe
I have had a Magic Deluxe for 4 years. It has been troublefree, although the no-bean indicator never worked....
Now, after descaling, I find that the expressed coffee is wet and it seems to take longer for a cup to make. What could be the problem?

Cleaning the brew unit will most likely cure this problem. Simply remove the filter screen and the spout that is located on the top of the brew unit. Be cautious when removing the spout off of the top because there is a spring and checkball that we need to be certain that we do not lose. Clean the entire brew unit thoroughly and try running a few more shots through the machine to see if this solves the problem. If not please give us a call at 1-888-411-5282.
Gaggia Coffee de Luxe Espresso Machine
i recently purchased the gaggia coffee deluxe and was wondering how long can i leave the main power on when not brewing? for example, if i am going to wait an hour for another espresso should i turn it off wait 50 min then turn it back on wait 10 min and brew, or is ok to leave it on?

Whole Latte Love Staff It is not recommended that you leave this machine on when it is not in use. The main reason for this is that it does not have an auto-fill feature (like prosumer machines do), so the water can fully evaporate from the boiler. In addition, leaving it on for extended periods can decrease the life of the heating element over time. I would recommend turning the machine off if you won’t be brewing with it again within an hour.
