Cap needs work.

Pretty good standard EDC pen for the price. As the title suggests…the cap does need some work. I’ve had this pen on my person daily for about year now. The cap does not sit as snug as it once did new. It has popped itself off on occasion in my pocket.

Still a preferred pen

I have several of these, total of 4. I like to keep each with a certain color. The first one I got was directly from Lamy in Germany. The weight, finish and material feels more premium and has held up without blemish for over 5 years. The newer ones have a more faded finish, the weight feels lighter and feels a lot less premium, most ding or scratch within a few months, so a bit disappointed but until I find a new pen I like, the devil you know - even if feels less authentic than before.

My Absolute Favorite Pen

I have owned 2 or 3 of these in the past. I keep losing them somehow, and I always like to keep spares, just in case. So when I finally run down to my last pen, I have to order at least two more. The grip of this slender pen just really appeals to me for all my scientific note keeping.

Great for a low profile pem

Love this pen!

So I am new to the Fountain pen world. My partner introduced me with one pen at Christmas and now I am hooked. This pen I got specifically because it fit into my desk organizer pen well (think like the ones they have at the bank) and with its narrow profile the pen fits perfectly.

Fine point is crisp. It is better when posted as the weight is very light.

Good Fit

I like this pen. It has weight and it is slim, both which are important to my style of writing. It also has style. Nothing fancy, but straight forward.
Very nice.

Thin and sleek pen. When I originally purchased it I thought it was made entirely of titanium which was partially why I bought it. It unfortunately is not. It is still very light for a metal pen.

Love this pen but it is quite slender so if you don’t like small diameter pens I wouldn’t recommend especially since it’s metal too. Tho this is a really pretty pen and good writer.

Slim, sleek, smooth

This is my first Lamy pen, and I'm sure it won't be my last, for two reasons: it writes extremely smoothly but as a tall guy with large hands, it is a little too slim for me, hence the four stars instead of 5. I still plan on keeping it and using it though. I already have my eyes on the Lamy studio fountain pen in the piano black finish

Feels like a Quill - in GOOD WAY

The first time I used this pen I fell in love with it. I got an EF, and the Lamy nib on mine is great. It's my first Lamy pen so I was worried the nib would be a miss, but it wasn't! After a few days of using it, I realized during one particular writing session where I was sitting on the ground, just scribbling away, that because of the pen's thin body and awesome shaped Lamy nib, it felt like I was writing with a quill! I know, its modern and definitely NOT a quill, but it just gave me that vibe. I love it, and if you're on the fence I think you should try it out, it's great!

Perfect fountain pen for a planner.

This pen fits perfectly in a leather planner's pen slot which is designed for slim fountain pens. It writes in true excellent LAMY fashion.

Very nice pen

I really like the look and design of this pen and the nib writes very nicely, I got it with a fine nib. My only complaint would be how thin the grip section is but you can already see the diameter in the Technical Specs section of this page. I got this pen early on in my Fountain Pen journey so I did not know at the time that I did not like thin grip sections but now I do thanks to this pen. The connection point where the converter connects to the grip section can be a little flimsy and I don't know how it will hold up with heavy use so that is something to watch out for. The grip section is made of plastic and has some grooves which makes it very stable in your hand which is a plus although the grip section feels a little cheap. The cap does post securely but it makes the pen very long and a little back weighted which I did not like. I do like that the pen is made of metal and the clip is similar to the Lamy 2000 clip which I do like very much.

Great pen.

Fantastic and understated pen. Very comfortable to write with and fits perfectly into the rings of the notebook I bought at the same time.

A skinny pen that's a big surprise

I generally go for fatter pens because I have big hands and the wider grip not only feels better, it improves my handwriting. But fat pens don't fit easily in my notebook loops or shirt pockets. So when I ran across this LAMY CP1 it looked like a great option. I have eight other LAMY pens so I knew the quality would be great. It turned out to be a good fit in my hand and my notebook loops! The look and feel of the pen really surprised me. It's a fountain pen that feels like holding a pencil.

LAMY CP1 with Fine Nib

The pen is pretty. The pocket clip especially is well defined and classic. I like the thin stick look when capped. I received the fine nib as requested. Tested with Mont Blanc green fountain pen ink. It writes very bold and rather wet. Okay, very wet. By bold, I mean the line is somewhat wider than what Parker considers medium. So it is a very bold, medium line. The nib writes very smoothly but very wet. I would recommend a rapid-drying ink when using this pen. The Mont Blanc fills the bill, as would Parker Quink. Over all, very nice pen but would have preferred a finer line. I already have my favorite broad nibs in my collection. I use those primarily for signatures. It is a lovely appearing pen, though.

Item is great. Ordering experience was top notch and appreciated the numerous extra touches with packaging and customer experience. Very well done and will support your company completely with future purchases.

Outstanding customer service for a fantastic pen

The CP1 feels superb in the hand. The metal housing gives it a solid weight and feel, particularly with the cap acting as a counterweight and providing excellent balance. The converter it comes with is the best I've used, easily filling to the brim unlike some Pilot and Parker ones, which tend to suck up half of their volume in air bubbles. Finally, the nib glides very smoothly across virtually any paper I've tried it on, from cheap Am**onBasics notepads to card stock, with little to no bleeding. Zero leakage, consistent ink flow, and does not dry out when left idle (at least using Pilot Iroshizuku asa-gao ink).Special thanks to Goulet Pens' amazing customer service! The nib mine originally came with was quite scratchy, so I emailed to ask for advice. Jessica from Goulet Pens got back to me right away, walked me through some troubleshooting steps, and generously sent me a replacement nib. The pen went from looks nice but writes like a Pilot Metropolitan to my absolute favourite all-rounder! Highly recommend.

It's a niche, and there's one small defect, but you might love it anyway.

It's a beautiful pen to touch. The surface is silky but not slippery. The weight is assuring. The hardware is robust but, I think it could do better. That's what makes an expensive pen expensive, and this is not that. There is one real problem. The nib will always be splashed with the ink. When the pen clicks closed (a strong snap), or maybe when it's pulled open (it has a tight seal), the ink gets on the nib. There's no point in wiping it off: it will just happen again, and again. You can be certain this pen will never leak, in your pocket. This was my first Lamy, and I really like it. Thanks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this LAMY fountain pen with ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

This fountain pen can fill with proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, or from a LAMY converter.

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary LAMY ink cartridges, which are available in a range of colors.

As for converters, LAMY does make two different converters - the red Z28, and the black Z27. All of their fountain pens (except the 2000) can accept the black Z27; typically this converter is included with the higher-end LAMY pens like the aion, cp1, scala, and studio. The red Z28 has additional knobs for a more secure installation that is compatible (and sold separately) on the AL-star, joy, and safari.

We've got a great video demonstrating both filling methods here:

How do I clean a fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the filling mechanism, but it mostly comes down to flushing it out with water, and sometimes a little bit of Pen Flush if the ink is really stuck. 

It's a bit easier to show than to tell, so we've put together a few quick videos showing you the process:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.
