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.

1st-Line refused to honor their… 1st-Line refused to honor their commitment to price match as per advertisement on their site. 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.

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.

1st Line Equipment experience What attracted me to 1st Line over other specialty espresso stores was their frequency of clearance/refurb/demo machine sales. I was able to buy a demo version of machine that saved me quite a bit. They also publish knowledgeable reviews of their merchandise and general tips/tricks to keep your machine functioning properly. I have not had to personally deal with their customer service. However, I did observe that they are fairly communicative on the Q&A sections of their product pages.

Great company Great company! Parts ordering could use better interface ease, but the part I needed was express-delivered at no extra charge. All else equally excellent. Still the best expresso-based site and company on the net. Have received the coffee too, and am looking forward to trying it.
