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.

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!

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.

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.

1st-line is a fantastic company 1st-line is a fantastic company. I've bought several prosumer espresso machines and grinders from them and they've always been great. I've had a few problems with the espresso machines and Java Jim helped me solve the problems quickly. It's so nice to deal with a company where people are experts in their field. 1st-line is the only place I will buy espresso equipment. 10/10.
