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.

I really appreciate the guidance and… I really appreciate the guidance and information provided by Jim before I purchased my espresso maker and grinder. Keep up the good work. ps. I look forward to purchasing and testing the Lelit flow profiling kit on my new ACS Minima, when it becomes available again.

Elektra Microcasa a leva 1 st line equipment was outstanding to work with. Very knowledgeable and very fast secure shipping. Machine arrived in perfect working order. Very happy with the Elektra Microcasa. This makes better espresso than my coffee shop can, with the same beans! Tip: lower the pressure stat about 1/2 a turn. The pressure is set from factory too high. Makes a much sweeter espresso and does not affect steam pressure at all.

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.

I ordered a Rancilio Silvia last Friday… 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 weekly/daily service. They were so fast I didn’t even have to worry if my beans were still fresh, amazing! These folks are on it. Good to talk with too, I have purchased various small items (commercial grade porta filter, double baskets) always easy and fast!
