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

Good service as always

Recently placed two orders for parts. They were shipped and received in two days so I could fix my machine and get back to espresso! The 1st-Line website had the accurate information for the parts I needed, and the combination of product support information, customer FAQS, and YouTube videos made it possible for me to diagnose my problem (actually had two parts wear out at around the same time). My only issue with the website is the inability to look up parts by number once I find them on the diagram. I had to scroll through all parts in the Lelit section. Not a big burden, but not the best use of the latest website technologies.

Great Customer Service and Great Machine

I ordered the Lelit Mara X on a Wednesday evening and the machine was delivered on Friday of that same week. I was very impressed with the packaging on the machine. While the machine was packaged unlike any other package I have received (in a good way), one of the nuts on the boiler came loose during shipping. So, when the machine was turned on, steam was coming out of the top. I was able to get on the phone with Jim and he walked me through how to resolve the issue!

Great espresso and great customer service!

Bought a “used” Ascaso for my son

Bought a “used” Ascaso for my son. As part of research and reassurance I called customer support- she was great. Knowledgeable about the product and options as well as reassuring about the “sale” item. Arrived quickly. Very pleased

Keep working

Ordering 1st-Line Equipment was actually pretty good. Delivery was fast enough and the service was of high quality. There were no problems with my coffee machine and I doubt that they will appear. Everything was just great! Keep working just as well))

My orders arrived quickly

My orders arrived quickly, and I had an easy time placing it. My only concern is that their customer service took a long time to respond other than that I had a decent experience with them.

The La pavoni arrived in excellent…

The La pavoni arrived in excellent shape and on time. Bought some Illy beans from the local grocery store to help dial in the grind and dose. It took almost the whole thing to do that. Then went to a local roaster and dialed in a grind. Adjusted the dose and now getting a decent espresso after a 20 minute warm-up. Still having some channelling issues but the final product is drinkable. No "god shot" as of yet but nice. Looks like the machine will be fun and I'll get there eventually.
Some things though:
The drip tray is plastic and really cheap use a bowl or cup to collect the residue.
Make sure you release the false pressure prior to the pull, use this to warm the cup.
The group head gets very hot after two espresso, so you are limited on consecutive drinks IMHO.
Drink the espresso and turn on the steam wand prior to removing the spent portofilter. Have not had the "sneeze".
