Hi
I bought our Saeco Multio Focus three month ago from Consiglio’s after talking with Giovanna.
Today we had a question about using descaler for our Saeco.
Giovanna gave me excellent advice before we did something wrong, and I immediately online ordered the 12-pack of the 12 SAECO/GAGGIA LIQUID DESCALER for the sale price.
Thank you, Giovanna for your guidance.
We love our Saeco Moltio Focus, and clean it regularly every week.
Best wishes,

I absolutely love your store/website and I tell everyone who will listen how your customer service, prices and quality of the Le Creuset cookware is 2nd to none. Many of my friends and family have since purchased their pots/bakeware from your store!
Keep up the good work.

Just received my new Le Creuset dutch oven today and thought I would drop you a line to tell you what great service you provided! Not only was it a great price and with free shipping, but it was shipped on the same day I ordered it. If it hadn't been a weekend, I would have received it the next day. Very impressed with your service and will certainly keep you in mind for future purchases! I am a very satisfied customer!
Thanks again.
Cheers,

Ok John, I can confidently say the Lelit Mara is excellent in all user respects. Operating the machine is a delight as all the parts fiction well and have a quality feel. The espresso is wonderful, the milk froths well so my wife and friends are happy.
Many thanks,
John, Ontario Canada , October 15th 2015
I finally found my "scent"! After going through at least a dozen and $$$
Ocean Breeze mixed with some of the Neutral is wonderful.
Wanted to thank Ryan who helped me the other day too.
I also appreciate the next day delivery. Thank you Consiglio's!
Sincerely,
Patti Cox
Thank You Giovanna!
We brought in our espresso machine for repair and we are now enjoying our morning espresso without having to purchase a new machine! Thanks for your honesty and to your technician for recommending the repair v.s purchasing a new machine!

Dear Frederik
Just a quick note to thank you for your excellent service! To be honest, I was not expecting you to send the replacement brush so appreciated it when it arrived yesterday.
Thanks again. (And if this is not Frederick, can you please pass it on to him?)
Sincerely, Jonathan - Kingston , Ontario , April 8, 2015
Good Afternoon. We received our order yesterday – a 42L pot (for maple syrup) and a pasta maker. I just wanted to say Thank You so very much!! Both items are very high quality and we are very happy. Our daughter asked for ravioli for supper – an endeavor we had never tried. The pasta maker worked like a dream and supper was a big success!! I will highly recommend Consiglios to anyone who will listen. Again, THANK YOU.

Dear Consiglio:
We could not thank you enough for delivering our MARCATO ATLAS RED 150mm PASTA MAKER. Such an accurate representation in your website about the product. My husband and I are enjoying the machine a lot!
Thanks again,

Hi
I received the Tagine Pot today. Too bad this wasn't an Ebay transaction as I would have left you raving reviews.
The Pot is absolutely beautiful, Shipping was super fast, Packaging was excellent......All around I am super happy I did a lot of researching online for the best deal and found your company instead of purchasing the first one I came across.
Leslie - AB - May 14, 2014
I was so pleased to have received my order so quickly. It arrived on the 12th. Thank you for the excellent service!Until a few days ago - despite having lived in Toronto for about 20 years (I am a native New Yorker) –
I had never heard of your store. My 30 something year old Le Creuset Dutch oven was finally wearing out and it was time to replace it. Yes, I checked out Williams Sonoma, Ashley’s and The Bay but something told me to check online – and there your were.
The new cherry red oven arrived today in perfect condition – I only placed the order on Saturday!
Thank you for your incredible prices and your service – the service being so amazing. There is so much to gripe aboutregarding retailers today, but you Consiglio’s give retail a good name.
I may not be the customer who spends the most, but when it comes to kitchen wares, I am now your customer for life.One of these days I may even get myself up from Front Street near the Market to St. Clair for a visit. And I am already spreading the word about you among my friends – it is the least I can do.
Keep up the good work – and know that it is very appreciated.
Many thanks and best regards,
Richard , Toronto, Ontario - Feb 28th 2014.
Thanks very much. I got all my orders and I am very impressed as I'm sure my daughter and son-in-law will be on Christmas morning. Once again thanks and Merry Christmas to you all.
David - Dunrobin , Ontario - Dec 6 2013
Just to say that I received my order today (super fast!) thank you so much! as I am travelling next week and all persons receiving the coffee makers will be very very happy.
Will be ordering more in the near future.
Thanks again!

Fred: Received my replacement Takaje and it works great. Thanks for effort to resolve the defective sealer, and if the company reveals to you what the problem was I would appreciate knowing. I will definitely do more business with Consiglios in the future.
Rod R, Cayuga, Ontario - Oct 4, 2013
I received my order this morning and would just like to say how pleased I am with dealing with you. The phone service was polite and informative. I ordered Monday and had delivery on Wednesday. I will definitely recommend your company and will also deal with you in the future. Such service is something you should be proud of. Thanks again.
Joseph M, Quebec, Canada - Sept 12, 2013
Hello, I received my order this morning and would just like to say how pleased I am with dealing with you. The phone service was polite and informative. I ordered Monday and had delivery on Wednesday. I will definitely reccommend your company and will also deal with you in the future. Such service is something you should be proud of. Thanks again.
I received my order today. I was very pleased with the prompt service. It arrived on time and in excellent condition. I have a few pieces of Staub and this will look good in my collection. I love the quality in the product. I really appreciate excellent cookware as that is the secret to cooking to a perfect end result. I make everything from scratch and not too much stumps me in the kitchen....Staub is a perfect compliment to cooking excellence, I will pamper it like I do all my Staub cooking pots. St aub cooks in half the time....
Thank you.
Kathy Brown
My wife and I cannot express our appreciation with regards to the way your company handled our malfunctioning Espresso Machine. We purchased a high end Espresso Machine 3 months ago and experienced a few minor malfunctions. John contacted the manufacturer and was told that we would have to send in our machine to get it repaired under warranty. John offered to exchange our machine for a new one as a token of good will. We would just like to thank John and the company for how it handled our situation .
Mark & Jenna - Pickering, Ontario - May 13, 2013
I just wanted to take some time to write how refreshing it is to meet honest decent human beings.
Emil is quite a gentlemen, and one of a kind. He is a credit to his company, and I am so happy you are in connection with him.
Emil was so thorough, diligent, communicated well, understanding, and accommodating. Today was a powerful reminder for me of the importance to always be positive, and be helpful to a stranger.
Of course it's a pleasure to always meet a fellow Emil, but I just wanted to say how excited I am with this gift for my wife, how appreciative I am to have this ahead of schedule. For the first time in Canada, and I really mean this, I experienced such great customer service.
I did not have to stress about multiple orders, you took care of everything, I did not have to stress about delivery and chasing fed ex, everything was smooth and easy. Emil was the icing on the cake, he went out of his way today, and that was very touching.
And finally,yes you are right, your company are the best for prices in Canada! Thank you for the 5% discount.
Ill do my best to be a returning customer, and to recommend as many people as possible.
God bless,
Emile - Toronto, Ontario - April 18th 2013
Hello, I just want to say Thank You as my order arrived on Tuesday February 12. This was very fast and the packaging was very good. I received my 2 Emile Henry pots and already used the risotto pot. It was a pleasure dealing with Consiglio's and you will be my first choice in the future for any other kitchens jewels.. I will also recommend you to friends..
Nicole - Cambridge, Ontario - Feb 16th 2013
Hello John,
FedEx delivered our replacement coffee maker yesterday, and I unpacked and installed it this morning. Everything seems to be in order, the machine is nice and stable on its feet, and I am enjoying a first espresso as I'm writing this message.
Thanks for the way you handled things. Very professional.
Have a great 2013!
Francois G - Montreal, Quebec - January 15, 2013

Dear Consiglio's kitchenware
I just want to say how excited I am to have received my new Jura espresso machine ( and in less than 1 day)! The product is amazing! Making such a large investment was daunting at first but your staff answered all my questions and now we are making fresh cappuccino within a few minutes of opening the box!
Thank you and we will be recommending your company to all our friends!

Hi John:
Just a quick note. I ordered the 8Kg stuffer and man that was good service. The unit was here in 4 days and everything was in good shape. I look forward to using the unit in the coming weeks to make up a 100lbs of Mild Italian sausage for the barbecue. I would like to thank you for the prompt service and look forward to doing business again with you when the need arises.
Once again thank you very much!
A very satisfied customer from Saskatoon
Brian B - Saskatoon CA - July 7 2011
Good evening,
Pleased to say the Cookware arrived, and its beautiful. We actually have 2 sets of 7 ply waterless cookware so the regular cost of the Calphalon didn't surprise me. Thank you for the fine cookware, the excellent packaging and the bargain.
Cheers from Northern Saskatchewan
Ron - April 1 2010
Good Afternoon,
I purchased the above mentioned machine from you on June 8th this past month and wanted to use it before emailing you. I would first like to thank you for the gift you sent along with it and then express my thanks for the wonderful way in which it was packaged. I love this machine! I've been grinding, tamping and making caps from scratch for 5 years and this is a treat beyond words. Thank you again and have a wonderful day.
