Well Above The Bar 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, but because he's passionate about coffee and espresso. We tested this theory a few times and Jim's competitors were clearly more focused on profit and less on customer satisfaction--especially after the sale. Jim will take care of you and put you into the right machine for your situation. Frankly, he's a rare find. Thank you Jim. You're a good guy and we appreciate it.

Hurray for stock alert messages Lelit water softener cartridges have been out of stock for some time so I appreciated the ability to have 1st-line automatically send an email when new supplies were available. I immediately ordered, shipping cost was reasonable and I received the softeners in just a few days. Couldn’t ask for more.

Really fast shipping 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. I can’t wait to fire up the machine and start using today. Sure they can improve the design on their website to look more modern :), but nevertheless 1-st line team is first class.

A 1st Class 1st-line Equipment Espresso Experience. Bravo The purchase experience in buying my Ponte Vecchio spring lever espresso machine was superb, but the speed of response to my email query by “Java Jim”, Jim P., was even better. Thank you, Jim and 1st-Line Equipment for a great customer experience. BTW the espresso from the Ponte Vecchio is delightfully tasty, a real treat. Thanks.

1st Line Equipment has been my go-to… 1st Line Equipment has been my go-to source for all things Espresso for many years. I recently purchased a new Rancillio V-6 machine and couldn't be happier with how quickly my order was processed, shipped and received!
