Profitec Pro 400 with Flow Control

The Profitec Pro 400 With Flow Control is a small but mighty heat exchanger espresso machine that is perfect for kitchens of any size. As the most compact machine from Profitec’s lineup, you can save some space without sacrificing the features that you usually see on high-end espresso machines.

Gaggia Accademia

The Gaggia Accademia is a luxury Italian espresso machine that is both designed and manufactured in the outskirts of Tuscany. It is a fully automatic bean-to-cup espresso machine with a customizable menu of 19 beverages. Milk drinks can be prepared to your liking with the automatic frothing carafe, or using the commercial steam wand to produce latte art quality milk foam.

ECM Synchronika with Flow Control

ECM is all about a kind of refinement that beautifies the little things and strengthens an already top-notch machine. We're happy to say the ECM Synchronika with Flow Control has been a credit to their mission of innovation ever since it arrived on the market, and it's only gotten better over the years.

Profitec Pro 700 with Flow Control

Designed by Profitec in collaboration with Whole Latte Love, the Profitec Pro 700 with Flow Control is a response to the growing interest in manual flow profiling among home espresso enthusiasts. Profitec's signature Pro 700 dual boiler espresso machine has been upgraded with a custom flow profiling device and stainless steel mushroom which replaces the traditional mushroom found in E61 groups. The remainder of the machine is untouched, featuring the 2019 Pro 700's updated pressure gauges, steam and hot water knobs, and other subtle branded accents.

Rancilio Silvia Pro X

The Rancilio Silvia Pro X takes what you love from the recent Silvia Pro dual boiler espresso machine and combines them with even more updates. The machine now includes a RS1-style portafilter with a soft ergonomic grip that brings commercial grade quality right to your hands. New colors give the Silvia Pro X a stylish new look, and a pressure gauge to measure the pressure of the coffee boiler now sits above the drip tray.

Bezzera Matrix MN

The Matrix MN will stand out in any modern kitchen with its rosewood detailing, stainless steel front panel and customizable body color that adapts to any environment or taste. Just like the Bezzera DUO MN, the Matrix MN packs a dual boiler, one dedicated to steam and the other to brew water, both of which are regulated by individual PIDs. In combination with the traditional E61 group, which constantly siphons hot water through the brew circuit, this makes for seriously temperature stable operation.

Profitec Pro 600 with Wood Accents

The Profitec Pro 600 is a dual PID and dual stainless steel boiler espresso machine whose performance and looks stand out from the crowd. This version improves on the standard Pro 600 by incorporating flow control — an incredible upgrade that everyone is still talking about — and stylish wood accents like Elm Carpathian Burl.

Profitec knows how to impress us. At first sight, the Pro 300 makes a lasting impression with its polished stainless steel exterior.

ECM Casa V

The ECM Casa V is perfect in a home of one or two people, where its performance really shines. This is especially so given the commercial style steam wand which packs a considerable amount of steam power and is equipped with a two-hole steam tip for velvety milk foam. The stainless steel, mirror-finished housing is a nice talking piece thanks to the German design and Italian craft reflected in the clean, exquisite construction expected from ECM, inside and out.

ECM Technika V Profi PID

The ECM Technika V Profi PID is a quality, handcrafted heat exchange espresso machine that presents a step up from yesterday's Technika IV, an old favorite for many of us at the office. That said, we're excited about all the upgrades and little touches ECM brought along with the Technika V Profi PID, like the PID shot timer and stylized steam and hot water controls.

Rocket Espresso Appartamento

Rocket is a stickler for detail and the Appartamento really highlights that fact. Its hyper stylized steam and hot water knobs feature an easy grip gear design and Rocket’s iconic “R”; the wide feet resemble espresso pucks, and the laser cut side panels reveal a rose gold underbelly, all of which is rounded out by a striking mirror finish. Like any Rocket fan, we’re in love with the aesthetics of this compact machine.

ECM Mechanika V Slim

The ECM Mechanika V Slim brings a measure of truth to "less is more" that our kitchen counter really appreciates. The ECM Mechanika V Slim has slimmed down by more than 2 inches thanks to the vertical reorientation of the boiler, now measuring at less than 10 inches wide.

Sleek and modern, the Magenta Prestige comes equipped with a convenient one-touch milk carafe, a vivid color display, and capacitive touch controls.

Jura Z10

Take full advantage of coffee’s wide variety with the JURA Z10. Hot drink options go from traditional espresso to the trendy flat white, with the press of a button on the Z10’s double-speed 4.3in touch display. As for those cold drinks, don’t for a second think you’ll be simply cooling down hot coffee. With the Z10’s Cold Extraction Process, cold water is slowly pushed through the coffee puck thanks to high pressure. Meaning you can enjoy any iced beverage without it being watered down. All these new features are housed in a beautifully modern convex-concave body, which looks like a soft wave traveling over the machine’s front.

Jura ENA 4

The ENA 4 from JURA is a minimally designed, intuitive one-cup machine that grinds exceptionally fast in order to extract as much flavor as possible from your espresso. JURA’s Intelligent P.E.P., or Pulse Extraction Process, changes how coffee is brewed based on the drink selected, by pulsing water at different frequencies for espresso and espresso doppio. Not to mention, the ENA 4’s unique water tank adds a touch of tasteful asymmetry to this ultra-modern, chic machine.

GRINDERS

Whether your brewing drip, pour-over, French press or espresso, the perfect grinder can make a world of a difference in the resulting cup of coffee or espresso.

Baratza Sette 270

With the Sette 270, coffee is ground from the hopper straight-thru the burrs and immediately dispensed with a minuscule half gram retention. The outer burr, rather than the inner burr, does the spinning, a revolutionary change that results in twice the grinding surface area and ultra-fast grinding. Baratza’s proprietary gearbox and powerful high-torque motor combine forces to minimize heat while maximizing efficiency and output.

Eureka Mignon Facile

The Eureka Mignon Facile is an affordable all purpose grinder with simple manual controls and perfect features for consistent espresso grinding. For those controls, the Mignon Facile uses a single start/stop button that is activated using the portafilter.

Eureka Mignon Magnifico

The Eureka Mignon Magnifico is an all purpose grinder with 55mm flat hardened steel burrs that give it the highest output in Eureka’s Mignon range.

Exclusive to Whole Latte Love, the E5Pro reintroduces the portafilter grinding switch in addition to the bottomless pulse button.

Ceado E37S

The second tier in the E37 series, the updated Ceado E37S is a step up from the J model both in terms of power, capacity and automatic grinding capabilities. The E37S is stepless, meaning you have access to essentially infinite grind settings by turning the handle on the Quick Set Gear. The mechanically suspended, 500 watt motor is surprisingly quiet, and tirelessly revolves the E37S’s 83mm burrs.

COFFEE

The reason we’re all here: coffee. At the end of the day, no matter what machine you have or grinder claims space on your countertop, if your beans aren’t delicious, there’s not much you can do to remedy that.
