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.

Dirty Mignon Mat Kit I got the product just now and I was so disappointed to the quality of the item they sent. It is Eureka mignon mat kit which they open the box to put the shot glass inside. By doing so they should already noticed the quality or the condition of the item that they are sending. The black mat looks like its a used item which looks dirty compared to the same product in an unboxing video. The only thing in the kit that looks new is the brush that comes with it as it has a plastic wrap on the brush and the shot glass which is an additional order. Overall I'm not happy with this order and will not order again.

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!

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.

Jim Piccinich replied to my request on… Jim Piccinich replied to my request on returning an item. He started rebuking me for buying a part that did not work with my equipment. he continued with "where in the our sites states this is the right part" and "Didn't you check the return policy" following with "I'll charge restocking fee and you have to pay for shipping as well".. I understand policies but the fact that he did not show concern with my issue says a lot about himself and this company. I am surprised with all the reviews and respect other's opinion. I did not have a good first time experience. Ended up keeping the item instead, I felt humiliated by this person and did not want to deal with them anymore.
