Good product if you've already perfect… Good product if you've already perfect knowledge about what you're purchasing. However, product inquiries are pointless. Customer service untrained and incurious. And their reply to my review makes my point perfectly. Thank you.

Their reply, after flatly refusing to match the price, and verbatim, is “Unfortunately, we have very limited stock and we do not know when the next shipment will arrive.” If they refuse to honor their own policies, I don’t think that they have any credibility, whatsoever.

A 1st Class 1st-line Equipment Espresso Experience. Bravo The purchase experience in buying my Ponte Vecchio spring lever espresso machine was superb, but the speed of response to my email query by “Java Jim”, Jim P., was even better. Thank you, Jim and 1st-Line Equipment for a great customer experience. BTW the espresso from the Ponte Vecchio is delightfully tasty, a real treat. Thanks.

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.

Purchased a micro care a leva machine Purchased a micro care a leva machine. Worked great for about 600 cups. Then died.

Essentially they say “not their problem”. Which is effectively true. However they are the one company you’ll get referred to if you have an issue and you can see the response below. The. They pepper the response with gratuitous insults. Of course no machine lasts forever (and I’d never expect it to) but most last for a reasonable time commensurate with price.
