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

These are THE BEST coffee shot glasses…

These are THE BEST coffee shot glasses EVER! They're made in Italy - Check; They're up to a bit over 2.0 oz ("doppio of doppios!); They're thermal glass; They have the Motta logo and that cute as a Dickens "kitty cat" embossed on them; They're the right "width" to take a double La Marzocco porta filter spout within the circumfrense (when I need doubles and ain't up to a naked porta filter); They are so damned "cool!"; 1-st Line got them to me (I ordered a number of them) PDQ! Hats off to Motta!! (Yay!), and foremost to 1-STLine, seemingly THE ONLY US SOURCE for these glasses!! Top notch "espresso WEAR," and top notch customer service! Satisfied all around!! Only thing I'd ask for is: Do Motta make it in red, vermillion, blue, or green?? If and when, let me know! Love these!!!

This is an outstanding company

This is an outstanding company! I have enjoyed exceptional service including the educational videos, recommendations and prompt support. My newest expresso machine is beautiful to look at and a joy to use-truly exceptional quality! All orders have been filled promptly and the packaging is excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend 1st Line Equipment at any time.

Good site but things can be better

Easy to use website, fast delivery, but I purchased 2 product a grinder tray and double shots glasses. The tray had some dirt on it inside the box indicating that it probably was an open box but that wasn't mentioned when I placed the order the other thing is that one of the 2 shot glasses has a sharp edge (not safe to drink from so I tossed it out). But I like the coffee tray and didn't mind that it was an open boxed item I just figured that it should be mentioned upon purchase and no big deal about the cup its only $6 dollars.

I appreciate the quick delivery of my…

I appreciate the quick delivery of my part I ordered for my MicroCasa Leva. It arrived in two days! However, I would also appreciate an answer to my question I filed on the Microcasa on March 10th. As of today - no answer.

Thanks for the feedback. Please note parts purchases do not come with tech support nor instructions. Unfortunately, we are overwhelmed with inquiries due to a short age of staff and increased inquiries due to COVID-19.

Our return policy is clearly posted on our web site and agreed to when placing an order online. Sorry, there are times we get overwhelmed with inquiries for help, including non-customers who impact our service levels.

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.
