For those stuck at home, you can share pictures of pulling shots of espresso, or send over Augmented Reality screenshots of your dream machine and tag them on
Instagram @wholelattelove or you can submit them to marketing@wholelattelove.com.
In response to the New York executive order for all non-essential businesses to close, Whole Latte Love overhauled operations to stay open and available to meet their customer’s needs. Recent changes to their operations include:
- Shipping and tech shifts that respect social distancing at their warehouse located in Rochester, NY
- Remote work for the majority of their marketing and support staff
- Special preparations to keep popular items available in the event of manufacturer shortages
- Thorough cleaning and sanitation regimens for all common areas and work spaces
In a blog article published by the Founder and CEO, Gary Salzman, he stated, “Whole Latte Love is resilient, we've survived not only Y2K, the Dot Com Bubble, the stock market crash of 2000, and the great recession, but also local challenges including an ice storm in 2003 and numerous blackouts. We suspect that difficult times may still lie ahead, but diamonds are born under pressure.” Whole Latte Love’s top priority during this quarantine is to ensure that their staff’s well-being is taken care of and that they can effectively serve their customers to make sure everyone’s caffeinated and are equipped to get through this difficult time. To that end, with supporting research from the CDC and FDA, Whole Latte Love affirms that all coffee they stock are safe to consume.
For any help, questions, or concerns about espresso machines or coffee, Whole Latte Love’s customer support staff are available during their normal business hours:
- Monday - Thursday, from 9AM - 9PM
- Friday - Saturday, from 9AM - 6PM
- Sunday, from 10AM - 6PM.
