“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 local? I'm in!"
$1,690.00 Compact, Stylish, Sexy 
The Rocket Espresso Appartamento features a heat exchange boiler, E61 group head, and an integrated dual pre-infusion system. Powerful steaming pressure, a large reservoir, and cutout panels help the Appartamento stand out as stylish and efficient.
“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.”
$1,999.00 Impeccable Asymmetrical Design 
JURA's remarkable ENA 8 is a compact home espresso machine with a menu of 10 one-touch coffee specialties and an eye-catching asymmetrical design.
“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!’”
$3,249.00 The Undisputed King of Prosumer Espresso Machines 
The ECM Synchronika with Flow Control is a powerful upgrade over an already adept dual-boiler machine. Impeccable build quality is complemented by Flow Control, giving you further access to the nuances hidden in your coffee.
“It took flow control to make the best espresso machine even better. The ECM Synchronika was already best in class with its temperature stability, steaming performance, and impeccable craftsmanship. But now you can tame brightness, enhance sweetness, and pull juicy shots. All with flow control.”
$1,700.00 The Most Reliable Espresso Grinder 
The E37S takes programmability to the next level with its touchscreen display and Ceado’s Portioning System Selector. Program and dose three personalized presets with this powerful, doserless grinder with stepless worm gear adjustment and impressive 83mm burrs.
“Having worked at Whole Latte Love for more than a decade, I’ve seen and sold my fair share of grinders. The E37S is quiet, durable, and easy to adjust and has minimal retention. I love to recommend it because it has a proven record of success and has helped me form countless friendships with satisfied customers.”
$1,699.00 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.
“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 drinks, not to mention so many profiles that everyone in my house has a favorite. Americano, frothed milk, double espresso, latte macchiato… you get the idea.”

“Pour-over brewing is a ritual, and needs to be treated with some reverence. This beautiful kettle is a perfect addition to any coffee bar. Fellow designed a kettle with even weight distribution, a comfortable handle, and the convenience of a built-in thermometer. Being a stovetop kettle, it’s a nice bit of low-tech meets high tech-synergy.”
$2,399.00 Incredible Value in Dual Boiler Performance 
The Profitec Pro 600 is a dual PID, dual boiler espresso machine that separates itself from the crowd, thanks to its high steam power, E61 group head, and 1 liter water reservoir.
“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. At this price, it’s hard to look the other way when it comes to performance and features. I think that anybody who loves milk drinks and wants precision temperature control will love this machine.”
