Wonderufl Coffee Machine

Its a wonderful, well thought-out, compact coffee machine. The finish is spectacular and is most likely going to age well.

Love this machine...better than Academia

I've been using the Babila for about a month now and love everything about this machine. I make straight coffee, flat whites, lattes/macchiatos, etc and it does them all great. I returned an Academia because of the inadequate drip tray capacity and this machine balances drip tray and dreg drawer perfectly for the size of the machine. You have to empty it less often. The electronics make sense. The reviews and videos Wholelattelove provide are all spot on. Great product.

Wow it is so cool

This is our first fully automatic and I can’t believe how much time it has shaved off of our morning routine. With our oldest child now drinking coffee in the morning and our youngest asking for a vanilla steamer we are making 5 drinks on average every morning. So great to just push a button and not have to wait in between drinks for the machine to be ready. The Gaggia is nice looking and easy to use - our only complaint so far is that some of the components (like everything on the milk frother) are made of plastic and don’t seem robust. We’ll see how everything holds up with daily use. Whole Latte Love shipped fast and was cheaper than Amazon listed price, so we are happy customers!

Requires emptying “puck” holder and drip tray too frequently.

Hello Larry,

Thank you for submitting your review. Just to give some insight in to that - the machines will discharge quite a bit of water throughout use. Rinse water when turning on and off, discharged water moving through the system, and then each drink can put out almost 2oz into the drip tray. If you use the machine daily, you could expect to be emptying the drip tray once a day. If you have any more questions or concerns about the machine, feel free to contact our technical support team, and they can assist.

Love it!

We purchased the Gaggia Bablia and absolutely love it! I was concerned that is would be overwhelming to learn how to use but after watching the great videos by Whole Latte Love , it could not be easier. The coffee is just delicious and usage is simple. So happy with this purchase and highly recommend.

Q: So Mark,
I have the Babila and I have a couple of questions.

1. The grind level 1-15, what level goes with what?
2. The spout control, which level is for what?

Whole Latte Love

05/21/19

A: Hello Bill,

The grinder dial is a range of grind fineness from 1-15 and there is no perfect setting. You can make adjustments to what you like but remember that once you make an adjustment, it takes 10-12 shots to see the difference. We don't recommend going from 15 down to 1. Instead, make gradual adjustments.

The dial on the front of the machine is a flow restrictor. You can turn it all the way open, or partially closed. What this does, is control how fast the water saturates the coffee. So you can slow it down to strengthen the coffee, or speed it up if it's too dark or bitter.

Q: Hi, I'm confused. Why are there programmed buttons, cappuccino for example, when you have to set the flow..the grind..the strength and the balance? Do the buttons override those?

Whole Latte Love

06/18/19

A: Hello Vince,

Thank you for your question. Dedicated buttons for specialties tells the machine to make that drink in one touch of a button. Your individual settings are not overridden when selecting a specialty.

Q: Can the flaps covering the water and the beans be opened under a wall mount cabinet with standard 17" clearance? Or does is need to be pulled out past the overhang? How tall is it when those flaps are fully upright?

Whole Latte Love

06/26/19

A: Hello TJ,

With the doors down, the height is 13.5 inches. With the doors open, it is 19 inches.

Q: Follow up to TJ's question: The machine weighs about 30 pounds. Can the machine easily be pulled out to load beans? What does Whole Latte Love recommend to clients who have standard cabinets with regards to locating the machine? We love it, but our biggest concern is that the moving the machine once positioned is either going to be difficult or inappropriate for the machine. And for us, this machine would need to placed under a standard wall mount cabinet with 17" clearance.

Whole Latte Love

A: Hello Dan,

It would not be convenient for you to have to pull the machine out each time you need to refill. However, something we like to do is place the machine on a Lazy Susan so you can rotate the machine when necessary. This will had a bit of height, so consider how much space you have to spare.

Depending on space, you may want to consider a smaller machine. If this is the case, feel free to give us call!

Q: Not sure of the protocol here so I will just put updates in a new question. Moderator can delete if not appropriate format. WLL rushed to the rescue. Customer Service has emailed back and forth. Result. Pucks are dry and firm. Milk is thick and firm. Coffee is stronger and now very good. And as for the electronic/electrical shutdown issue we may have found a solution. WLL said it sounded like the plug was not firmly in the back of the machine. We thought t was, but I pulled the machine out, braced the front of it against me and reached around with two hands and pushed on the plug. Much to my surprise, a second or two later the plug kind of popped and went about 1/4 of an inch deeper into the machine. That was at noon. Six hours later and no shutdowns so far. Another day of so and we will be where we want to be! Thanks, WLL, for jumping on our issues and helping out as quickly as you did.
