2022 is fast approaching and with it, a chance to start anew. How do you plan to start the new year on the right foot? For us at Whole Latte Love, it means filling the remaining hours of 2021 and those first new ones of 2022 with delicious coffee recipes. Below you will find a handful to try out. But before we get to those recipes, let’s explore some of the machinery you will need to accomplish them!
Make entertaining an absolute breeze with superautomatic machines like the Gaggia Cadorna Prestige, which keeps delicious espresso a button-touch away. The Cadorna Prestige features 14 pre-programmed beverages so there’s something for everyone! Even your most picky guest can find something they love.
This superautomatic is equally gorgeous as it is useful. With 8 different specialties, a 3 liter water tank, and 500 gram bean container, you won’t have to worry about refilling throughout the night. The Jura WE6 Pro is ideal for espresso and coffee purists who chase after thick crema and greater flavor intensity, possible through the Jura’s special pulse extraction process, or P.E.P.
If you’re a milk drink or bust kind of person, then the DeLonghi Eletta Cappuccino espresso machine is perfect for you. The built in LatteCrema system dispenses frothed milk for lattes, macchiatos, and more (including cappuccinos). Plus, the milk frothing has a dedicated thermoblock heater to dispense into your drinks at the perfect temperature.
Rancilio is excited for you to experience this updated version of the Rancilio Pro. Now with variable soft infusion, the Pro X will gently drop water as your shot begins and ramp up according to a time you set. Show your skills off to your guests and brew delicious shots of espresso while you’re at it!
The Profitec Pro 300 is a gorgeous machine, from its stainless steel exterior to can’t-be-beat internals. Plus, the machine has a remarkably quick warm up time of about 10 minutes, which is a lot better than 30 minutes when brewing for guests. Plus, with its price tag, the Profitec Pro 300 just can’t be beat!
The Crem ONE HX PID espresso machine is for hosts who want to show off their unbeatable espresso brewing skills as much as they want to satisfy their guests. Being a heat exchanger machine, you can brew espresso and steam milk simultaneously! Meaning you can churn out milk-based espresso drinks with unbeatable speed for any and all your party-goers this New Year’s.
When you’re busy entertaining, you don’t want to worry about anything, especially dosing out perfectly fine espresso grinds. With the Eureka Mignon Specialita in Chrome or White, you can produce up to 1.8g of coffee per second for espresso. In other words, you can produce a barista quality 18g double shot in as little as 10 seconds — ideal for a busy night.
Another important aspect of a host’s grinder is its noise level. Luckily, the Ceado E37J in Black has a super quiet 300 watt motor that is suspended on rubber mounts for added noise-protection. In addition, the Ceado E37J is capable of dispensing your shot at the press of a button within 1/10th of a second. So you can press it and forget it.
If you’re using coffee preparation more as an excuse to avoid your guests (we’ve all been there), then the ECM Automatik 64 allows for more control and experimentation. The stepless grind adjustment allows for fine control over your grind setting, but manual grinding is available for those who want it!
Silver often symbolizes riches and wealth, the perfect vibes to carry into a new year. A style all their own, Frieling's double wall mirror-finish stainless steel French presses turn heads while keeping your coffee and tea hot longer than ordinary glass carafes. The all-steel mesh and plunger mechanism bring only superior quality!
The Espro P5 Press is one of the more user-friendly coffee presses available, promising grit and grinds free coffee, precise extraction, and durable materials. Meaning it’s perfect for hosts who don’t want to fiddle with anything throughout the night without sacrificing the end product.
Our 100% Arabica roast, Crema Wave is a medium roast coffee, best used for preparing espresso. It has notes of honey and almond that is perfect for the sweeter recipes below. We’ve tested this coffee in our most popular machines, including semi-automatic, super-automatic, and prosumers before we signed off on the final blend composition and roast profile.
This product doubles as a gift, if New Year’s Eve gifts are your thing. Enjoy the Classico Medium Roast and Intenso Dark Roast, with two of each included. The Classico has lingering sweetness and delicate notes of caramel, orange blossom and jasmine, while the Intenso is a bold roast coffee that has a robust finish, with warm notes of cocoa and dried fruit.

Some things never go out of style. For instance, the classic appeal of these mugs simply cannot be beat, no matter how much time passes. Sometimes all you need are black and white ceramics.
