Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness! I got my espresso cup stamp yesterday! It is cooler than I could have ever imagined! =) It's actually a present for my friend Jeff and his Birthday is coming up on June 25th. I can't believe you guys are SO quick, and do such perfect and amazing work! I was really expecting to wait 6 weeks for it to arrive...and I got it in less than two weeks! WOW! I will definitely be ordering another espresso cup stamp SOON!
Thank you and everyone else there for being so wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ~Bridget

It's more a coffee table book for my home. I've loved espresso parts a few years now. Purchased a number of things for myself and soon will be buying lots of accessories for the cafe i work at. It's nice having a no nonsense supplier who knows a ton and isn't just about selling industry pushed products to naieve consumers like aabree et al.
Thanks again

I appreciate the excellent service.

FEEDBACK: Service - 10/29/07
Hi,
I just came upon your site by chance (after a Google search) and thought
I would place an order. To my surprise I received all the ordered parts
on Monday morning! Not only did my order arrive quickly but everything
I ordered was shipped. No back orders!
We own a small Gourmet Coffee Shop (The Barbarian) and our goal is to provide
exceptional customer service to all our customer. One of the key components
to achieving this is having suppliers who are dependable and trustworthy.
In this day and age of internet scams and bad business practices it is very
refreshing to come across a business such as yours.
I just wanted to say thank you and Fantastic service!
Keep up the good work.

Excellent
Service - 01/25/06
I just wanted to thank you for your excellent service. You responded to my
email in approximately 7 minutes, and had the correct tamper at my door the
next day. Despite the initial minor error, that's amazing service, and I'll
surely purchase from you again. Nice work.

This letter is for anyone considering using Espresso Parts NW for the first time. I say this because after the first time, you will be so impressed with the service and dedication of this company, and it's entire staff, you most likely will come back again and again.
My wife and I own and operate Best Friend Espresso, a high volume Drive-thru on the north shore of Lake Washington. We have been customers of Espresso Parts NW for over two years now. From our very first order, in which I ordered the wrong part, Espresso Parts NW showed they are a cut above the rest. When I informed them of my mistake, that it was a critical part for my Espresso Machine and my business was down, they had the correct part on it's way in a matter of minutes.
I didn't beg, or ask for special treatment, they just did it. I was back in business and up to full production the next morning. Most companies would have led me down the long drawn out path of return the incorrect part, re-order and start the whole process again. Espresso Parts NW was only concerned with getting my business up and running, then we could deal with the return of the incorrect part. Needless to say, I was very impressed and told them so. They acted like it was no big deal, as if it were a given.
Well it was a big deal.Their quick response saved us literally hundreds of dollars in lost revenue, paying for our order several times over. From that moment on we have been loyal Espresso Parts NW customers and will continue to be for many years to come. They have saved our bacon many times since that first order, which has demanded that I make time to write this testimonial.
In the fast paced world of business and making money, it is refreshing to find a company that has the old-fashioned quality of outstanding customer service. It doesn't matter if you are ordering a .59 cent gasket or a $10,000 Espresso machine, they make you feel like you are their best customer. Espresso Parts NW is the "Nordstrom" of the Espresso parts industry. God help us if they ever issue credit cards and our wives get ahold of it.

Thank you both for your help! You've gone above and beyond your legendary reputation amongst the coffeegeek/home-barista circles. It has been a rough few days of drip but I'm off to Stumptown for some fresh beans and my first plumbed-in home espresso.
Thanks again,

I'm pleased to inform you about the arrival of order #2006-07-10XXX. In time (compliments to fed-ex, their estimations were totally correct: better than our national mail delivery system) and also the parts as ordered! The data on the website about the piston+ tampermatching sizes was accurate!
My compliments!

Hi Brian,
I have paid this now through paypal. Please make sure it ships to the Cheasapeake, VA address provided. Thanks for helping me with this. I also want to let you know that when I placed my order to come to my California address, I received the naked portafilter in 2 days!!!!!! This absolutely amazed me and now makes me a very happy customer. You have now become one of my favorite suppliers.
Thanks so much!! I am very happy with your service.
I truly intend to tell others!!

why espresso parts rules - 10/06/04
just in case there's any doubt, there's one simple reason why espresso parts rules: brian, brian, brian.
lemme explain. upon my recent return from italy, mr. right -- who frankly prefers diet coke but will on the weekend deign to take a batdorf dancing goat latte -- had asked for a latte. he did in fact drink a cappuccino every morning in italy.
thus when i presented him with the usual latte, he thrilled my little chiming heart by casually asking "could i get another shot in this?" but lo and behold, he was already drinking a cup made with a doppio (double) ristretto.
that's correct: mr. right had asked to step up to the triple ristretto! now long-time readers will recall that kevin, mike, and chris of gimme coffee had coverted me this summer to the triple ristretto espresso.
thus i was looking for an excuse to buy a la marzocco triple basket. and how neatly mr. right dropped it in my lap!
i placed my order with espresso parts. i couldn't for the life of me find the part searching, so i called the sales office, which kindly gave me the part number: mz.108.
then i went on my merry way to yoga class, thinking of it no more. long-time readers know i possess both a rancilio silvia espresso machine and an expobar office control, the famed carlos.
this afternoon i received a phone call from brian d. of espresso parts. "hey," he said in that awesome laid-back voice of his, "i was getting ready to ship your order when i noticed you have a rancilio commercial portafilter. you know, the triple basket is 58mm wide, but it's too tall for your portafilter."
"ok," i said, "i guess i need a new portafilter. but since i have an expobar, can i get one that will fit both?"
now this is a daunting question, since as devoted espresso fanatics know, the so-called "ear patterns" of silvia and carlos are completely different. the "ear pattern" is the shape and arrangement of the 2 little flanges on the sides of the portafilter that lock it inside the grouphead.
and what does awesome brian say? he says: yes! "i can make one that will fit both," he says. yes!
my heart melted into my tod's driving loafers. brian knows how to make a girl happy!
repeat after me: espresso parts rules! thank you, owner terry z.!
but i had to get brian off the phone before i impulsively ordered a wega lyra. . .

Excellent Customer Service & Knowledge - 11/17/06
Wow. May I commend you on your excellent customer service,
product selection, and knowledge. I was never super impressed
with WholeLatteLove help/service/knowhow, but recently my
opinion of them has slipped even FURTHER.
It is nice to have a west coast contact. I will be filling
my 'spresso mach needs with ya'll from now on.
