We’ve made quite a list of “best-ofs” for our Holiday Gift Guide 2021, but this time, it's personal. If you’ve still got a coffee lover on your list this holiday season, why not check out some of our staff’s personal favorite items from this year. From branded shirts to espresso machines, we run the gamut from fun to functional, so check it out!
Renée: Fuego Coffee Roasters Crewneck
“I was already a fan of Rochester’s coffee scene before joining the team at Whole Latte Love. When we launched our apparel collection there were more than a few worthy contenders, but when you own as many graphic tees as I do, you have to be discerning. Black and long sleeves for winter and supporting locals? I'm in!"
Perfect for colder climates like Fuego and Whole Latte Love’s hometown of Rochester NY, the Fuego Coffee Roasters Crewneck lets you show your love for Fuego while keeping your arms warm. Featuring an artistic rendition of Fuego’s logo, this shirt is both subtle and stylish
100% Cotton
$40.00
AJ: Rocket Espresso Appartamento
“I’ve learned more than a lot about espresso in my time at Whole Latte Love, including which products stand out from the crowd. This is the perfect machine for someone looking to graduate from the ‘entry-level.’ The Appartamento’s performance is matched only by its impeccable style.”
$2,025.00 Compact, Stylish, Sexy 
The dapper Rocket Appartamento Serie Nera features a heat exchange boiler, temperature stable E61 group head, and integrated dual pre-infusion system. Its large 1.8 L reservoir and powerful steam pressure are now available in timeless black housing.
Kayla: JURA ENA 8
“I don’t have a ton of room in my kitchen so it’s great that this machine doesn’t eat my entire countertop. Making drinks is basically pushing a button and then bliss a moment later. Definitely get the Smart Connect and the J.O.E. app with Siri integration. I was like ‘Finally! An espresso machine that’s almost as cool as I am!’”
$1,999.00
Marc: Ceado E5Pro
“Ceado makes excellent grinders and the E5Pro is the best value in their lineup for those not needing timed grinding. The E5Pro features larger 64mm burrs, fantastic build quality, beautiful distribution of clump free grinds, precise stepless grind size adjustment and it works with bottomless portafilters!”
$699.00
Jen: Gaggia Cadorna Prestige
“It’s safe to say that more people are ordering in when it comes to coffee these days. That is to say that they’re making it at home! You can make better and cheaper lattes than anything the drive thru gets you. The Cadorna Prestige has so many drink options and everyone in my house has a favorite!”
$1,499.00 Quality Meets Convenience at an Unbeatable Price 
The Gaggia Cadorna Prestige is a remarkable bean-to-cup machine with 14 customizable beverages, the option to create 4 user profiles, and an integrated milk carafe for making top quality milk drinks.
Todd: Profitec Pro 600
“The Pro 600 is the perfect machine if you don’t plan on connecting to a water line. It’s got incredible steam power, precise temperatures, unique design, and proven Profitec engineering. I think that anybody who loves milk drinks and wants precision temperature control will love this machine.”
$2,699.00 Incredible Value in Dual Boiler Performance 
The Profitec Pro 600 is a dual PID, dual boiler espresso machine with flow control whose performance and modern aesthetic separate it from the crowd.
Nick: Barista Improving Taste
"The addition of the BIT line to our catalog was so exciting to me because for as little as $15, anybody can substantially improve the espresso they're extracting. And, if you really want to go all in, the shower screens and tamper that Sauro designed will further reduce channeling and improve your results in cup."
The BIT Espresso Tamper is a flat 58.6mm espresso tamper with a tapered edge that was designed in tandem with the unique BoB and Renato filter series and ensures perfect tamping in curved filter baskets.
Tracy: Gaggia Logo Wooden Tamper
“I love this wooden tamper for many reasons! But if I had to name one, it would be how the tone of the wood stands out next to my Blue Gaggia Classic. Using a nice tamper really upgrades your espresso brewing experience. Not to mention it has the Gaggia logo on it so you know it's been built to last!”
$49.99 Tamping the Day Away 
An elegant upgrade to your Gaggia Classic Pro's tamper, the Gaggia Logo Wooden Tamper features a soft Ashwood handle and flat stainless steel base for comfortable and precise tamping.
