"Works well but will only accept a demitasse-height cup unlike my previous Starbucks Barista"
"WOW - so fast - so thorough - videos were the benchmark of information. I will buy ONLY from Seattle Coffee Gear."
"Great selection. Easy and organized website. Quick delivery. Fantastic service every time. "
"SCG provides a wonderfully informative web site and great prices. The video reviews allow you to see how the equipment you're considering is used and the features it offers in a simple way. Our latest purchase was a Breville Smart Grinder, which we already love. We will likely be back for our next coffee-related purchase!"
"It was very helpful watching the video review of the product I wanted to purchase. Thank you Gail."
"They had an out of stock product I wanted and they put me on their email notification. It worked and so I placed my order and it came ontime. Smooth."
"We love our new espresso machine. Thanks for the great price & service.

"SCG offers online videos of their products. This made choosing the right coffeemaker much easier with no stress since I was able to see how the product performed. My coffeemaker was delivered in the time frame specified. SCG is a great company to deal with online. I felt very confident and safe ordering this large ticket item online from SCG. They offer the best prices on the web."
"Seattle Coffee Gear is a full-service retailer for sale & service of high-quality coffee/espresso machines. Their website is very informative with loads of videos of the products they carry and the site is user friendly for finding all their services and accessories.
I placed an order for a couple of their products, selected priority mail (estimated time for delivery 5-7 days), and I received my order in 3 days (pleasantly surprised)!! "
"Delivered product on time. Easy to do business with.
"
"Outstanding delivery as always…And as you can tell by my order history, I keep coming back!
The discounts make it even better.
Let me know how else I may be able to help."
"Awesome product line with good pricing. Free shipping for over $50 orders is nice."
"Seattle Coffee Gear had everything I wanted for my coffee at reasonable prices, and they shipped promptly. The Hario Buono Drip Kettle I purchased is perfect. I'd received 2 defective ones from Amazon and gave up, but followed a recommendation to buy the Hario from Seattle Coffee Gear. I'm delighted I did!"
"I bought three items at Seattle Coffee Gear within a couple of months, with a total cost of about $350. The last item was a Capresso Froth Plus. The pitcher began to leak after about a month. I went into Seattle Coffee Gear (who are a few miles from my house) and they told me to deal with the manufacturer, since it was after the 14-day return period that they allow.
Three leaky pitchers from Capresso, later, I decided that there was no point in getting new pitchers. (Amazon has four reviews out of six -- mine now, included -- which complain of leaky pitchers for the Froth Plus.) I, again, showed at Seattle Coffee Gear, and later sent an e-mail via their online form, hoping they'd show some interest in helping with a defective product. I didn't ask for my money back, I was just hoping for SOME customer service.
I couldn't even get an answer as to whether the Teflon pitcher from the the Pro model would fit on my Plus (it doesn't), as I was offering to BUY the Teflon pitcher from Seattle Coffee Gear. I was told that they didn't know and I should contact the manufacturer. They could have figured it out in ten seconds, as they had both models on display.
The positive reviews here seem to be from customers who order a good and reliable product. Seattle Coffee Gear seems capable of selling and shipping a product, reliably. The negative reviews seem to be from anyone who did not get a good and reliable product. What I get from Seattle Coffee Gear is that they have no customer support, just "policies."
Following the above, the support agent at Capresso offered the Pro version for $35, no shipping, and threw in an extra pitcher -- an offer which I accepted since the frother does make good foam. So, I've spent $90 for a $60 item (Seattle Coffee gear had a 10 percent discount). Capresso cared enough to at least give me a deep discount, while Seattle Coffee Gear cared enough to state their policy several times.
Btw, on seattlecoffeegear.com, the Froth Pro (Teflon pitcher) has 22 reviews, the Froth Plus (plastic pitcher) has no reviews, after they removed my negative one."
"they are very help i full,i got all answer of equip that is suitable i need,no hassle at all"
