I ordered a Rancilio Silvia last Friday morning and had it sitting on my porch Monday afternoon. My previous R Silvia (purchased from 1st line 18 years earlier) had finally perished after consistent... See more

Better than the rest, by a long margin. Feel free to shop around, and then buy from Jim. He is genuinely interested in making sure customers enjoy their purchase; not because of the money he makes... See more

Really fast shipping, nicely packed and a lot of information on the machine and grinder thru their website content and videos on youtube. I believe they even check every machine before shipping out.... See more

Great company

Great company! Parts ordering could use better interface ease, but the part I needed was express-delivered at no extra charge. All else equally excellent. Still the best expresso-based site and company on the net. Have received the coffee too, and am looking forward to trying it.

I am so very happy!

I am so very happy to have my same machine - The Export, Ponte Vecchio, back in my life and also the fine coffee grinder recommended by Jim. Awesome team at 1st Line Equipment and fast shipping despite the crisis we are all in. Speaking of which, what better way to get through COVID-19, having the ability to have true Barista at home for our family. I plan to share with friends when things clear and HIGHLY recommend 1st-Line Equipment with them! Thank you Jim and your TEAM!

Excellent customer service!

Excellent customer service, both before and after my purchase. Jim is an espresso guru, and expertly guided me in the purchase of my new espresso machine.
My order shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition.

Great product but would have been nice to get a “ how to use the product manual.” I realize I bought an of the floor model, but having one sent would have made it an even better experience.

The support I received in making my…

The support I received in making my Bianca double boiler espresso / grinder purchase was very "personable." The staff thoughtfully worked with my thoughts in how to best put together a combo package to help me replace my old espresso / grinder. I especially appreciated how the conversation took on a "problem solving approach" versus a "sales pushing approach" as one might expect when making a large purchase. Thus, I would highly recommend 1st- Line to anyone desiring to research / purchase any type of espresso / coffee package.

Good information on their website and fast shipping. My only gripe was that they stuck their own "Review Reminder" sticker onto the metal plate covering my espresso machine's water tank and that sticker left so much goo residue on the machine.

Lelit Bianca and Atom 75

Great grinder (Atom 75), great machine (Lelit Bianca). 1st Line has been a pleasure to work with. This setup destroys my 3 year old Breville.
