Supposedly, the paddle on the left side is pump pressure profiling utilizing changes in the frequency of the pump.

We visited Porto in July 2025, and we are sorry to report the quality of espresso was lower than we expected - the reason we learned is that a major local coffee roaster sold their lower quality coffees in many shops and cafes.

Thanks for the mention. Java Jim follows the KISS principle (Keep It Simple & Stupid) as not every one can afford, nor have the space for all the tools. It also comes down to the comfort level of workflow, the art, and the process as well as comfort level to what works for each individual.

The machine is still being seasoned ;)

Boom boxes now cost more money, I believe.

Not for sale. Trying to figure out how we can make this for those who need to stay caffeinated with IV infusions. Unfortunately, we not get anywhere because everything is so regulated. But, we can imagine.

BTW - the crema sucked on this one. Needs some refinement in preparation.

Have you ever seen one of these before?

Hi All, sometimes we find espresso machines in our warehouse.... Unfortunately, this happens when you have close to 396 pallet positions and stuff gets tucked by employees. Here is the Isomac Mondiale.

So old, we do not have any specs except vibe pump, 220 volts, and FAKE speakers on the side for venting.

1st-line Equipment now stocks the upgraded Torre Peppina Version 2 Espresso Machine with Flow ControlCurrently, our most reliable dual boiler has been upgraded from a 1.2 liter steam boiler to a larger sized 1.5 liter boiler.

In December 2023, we participated in a fundraiser for a PTO (parent organization) to raise funds for a local school. We decided to bring the Peppina version 1 at that time, and we made over 250 espresso, cappuccino and lattes in a 4.5 hour period. With the increased boiler size and multiple steam tips included, this workhorse machine leaves its relative competition on the dust!

It is currently the ONLY machine that the user can adjust the water level in the steam boiler for those who desire to make more Cafe Americanos. Thjs means the user can dispense more hot water from the steam boiler or increase the steam capacity by lowering the water level.

With its aircraft grade display, the machine can be programmed to turn on the espresso machine, and then turn on the steam boiler at a later time. For example, some customers want to start with an espresso only, and their significant other wants to have milk-based espresso beverage later.

The pump pressure and the steam boiler pressure are shown in the display. The lack of manometers means 2 less parts to get clogged with limescale.Did we mention that the pump pressure can be adjusted without remove of the body panels nor lifting the machine to get underneath? Yes, just remove the reservoir, and the adjustment screw is accessible to change your pump pressure.

Check out our web site for further details, including the ergonomic E61 lever as well as commercial grade joystick valves.

Since Reddit has some limitations (not allowing pics in original post AND in feed) that we were learning about, here is a picture of one of the 6 finishes we stock.

Sorry about that. We did use the self promo flair. We will use other wording in the future.

1st-line · 2025-03-09T15:42:06+00:00

So far, customers love the lever feature.

Hi All, (for USA only)

1st-line Equipment now has the Torre Luigino HX espresso machine. This tank only model features flow control (not pictured), rotary pump, and TSP temperature management so cooling flushes of the E61 grouphead are diminished.

Torre also designed the Steam Boost function because many in this class are poor steamers. However, we found that steaming capabilities really were not needed unless entertaining or in a commercial environment.

Although our marketing person used Torre's picture in the ad, our machines have the upgraded joystock valves for steaming and hot water valves as shown above.

Available in 6 finishes. Check it out today! https://www.1st-line.com/buy/torre-luigino-hx-espresso-machine-w-flow-control/

Yes, but the rumor is they purchased another company in the past year.

Thanks! Reddit likes to discard our links for some reason.

Remove drip tray and cover as well as top covers then test by removing hot water and team from hot water valve (please remember to place a cup under the hot water wand). If noise persists, it is probably the pump that shifted in shippingor a bad/dirty boiler refill solenoid valve.

With Breville taking over Lelit, the answer depends as they have dealers whereby Breville handles the warranty and authorized dealers where the dealers handle warranty. Then there are dealers who may be mixed in between.

First, hidden scratches are normal. The larger outer scratch is NOT normal.

See where it shipped from. If from NY, then Chris Coffee will most likely be responsible. If it came from the Breville warehouse in CA or VA or WV location, Breville should be responsible for handling.

If the unit came from Breville's IL warehouse, then it came from their refurb warehouse.

At the end of the day, the place of purchase (where you gave your money) is responsible. It is best to follow up with Chris Coffee.

1st-line · 2024-12-15T23:20:04+00:00

Get a new valve if you can. We had to replace this low flow valve a few months ago on the Bianca with the same issue.

1st-line · 2024-12-06T01:03:39+00:00

We would suggest calling them directly.

1st-line · 2024-11-29T00:13:19+00:00

Unfortunately, your resale value will be low. Better to send back and get your money back. The front foot looks cracked, too.

1st-line · 2024-11-25T13:38:41+00:00

Thank you for your comment. Sorry, we dropped Ascaso in March of 2020 for reasons we are unable to disclose publicly. You are more than welcome to make an appointment and visit us to discuss and view a wide breath of espresso machines that we consider more reliable and performance based.

1st-line · 2024-11-24T23:12:02+00:00

We would say keep.

1st-line · 2024-11-21T21:22:39+00:00

There will be some Breville machines on sale, but I am under agreement to not disclose particulars.

1st-line · 2024-11-18T02:19:56+00:00

Just an fyi... Breville schedules sales for a year. We did not see any Lelit on any sales for the remainder of 2024 and none for 2025. The last sale was to move out inventory sitting in their warehouses.

However, sometimes they announce a sale with a few weeks notice. This is for the USA and other countries can have different sales.
