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... See more

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... See more

Really fast shipping, nicely packed and a lot of information on the machine and grinder thru their website content and videos on youtube. I believe they even check every machine before shipping out.... See more

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.

Customer originally stated "Good product if you've already perfect knowledge about what you're purchasing. However, product inquiries are pointless. Customer service untrained and incurious."

It is always a good idea to be more specific and honest in your feedback. You had purchased a bottomless portafilter (included with a large 2 cup filter basket) for your La Pavoni lever espresso machine. You did not buy the machine from us. You placed a call into our call center inquiring about the manufacturer of the basket. As you are advised in the terms and conditions of our web site and agreement during the sales purchase, we do not provide any support on parts purchases and you were further advised over the phone that our supplier does not reveal who the manufacturer of the basket is.

Hence, your feedback is pointless because you were not completely honest with your generalization and insults about our customer service being untrained and incurious. Lastly, please let us know when you are capable and have the çomplete knowledge of handling phone inquiries on the fly of the 8,000 parts we stock. We may consider hiring you.

Additional reply... : ) Have a nice day!

Appreciate the extra step they took to balance the portafilter handle.

Nice quality that massively upgraded my gear.

Good service as always

Recently placed two orders for parts. They were shipped and received in two days so I could fix my machine and get back to espresso! The 1st-Line website had the accurate information for the parts I needed, and the combination of product support information, customer FAQS, and YouTube videos made it possible for me to diagnose my problem (actually had two parts wear out at around the same time). My only issue with the website is the inability to look up parts by number once I find them on the diagram. I had to scroll through all parts in the Lelit section. Not a big burden, but not the best use of the latest website technologies.
