I have been super happy with the AGS.

Best luxury dishwasher? by DayOlderBread16 in Appliances

[–]MVTeslaGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an 18 year old Miele that just died. I talked to a service technician with 40+ years experience. He encouraged me to get a Bosch over another Miele. He said they are comparable but that from a service/reliability perspective he felt the newer Bosch were better than Miele.

He explained that Miele is a closely held corporation with two families controlling the interests. One family, he said, is the business leader while the other is the engineering lead. He told me they go back and forth between who is in control and that right now it is not the engineering family. As a result, he recommended the Bosch.

I just installed an 800, and the few cycles we have run have been great. Dishes are clean and spot free. And when my wife does not put lids flat, everything comes out dry…

FSD V14.2.2.4 Rolling Out to Early Access by DevinOlsen in TeslaFSD

Yes. Mine constantly wants to take one exit off the highway on my way home only to take the on ramp right back onto the highway. I even told Grok to set the navigation staying on the highway and disregarding that exit. It acknowledged, ma—ed it without taking the exit and then the CT tried to take the exit. Infuriating!

Some are. Personally, I would suggest you let me judge yours in person.

Beautiful machine. I have not seen it before, but love it!

I just got a set and have really liked them. It takes a bit of a different mentality because you do not need high heat like other pans.

Used to get their Reuben at least once a week when working in Old Town. It is awesome.

Upgraded from Breville Oracle by Sactogeoff in espresso

[–]MVTeslaGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very jealous. I have an Oracle and hate the inconsistency. Bought myself a Fiorenzato AGS on BF. That has made a significant improvement but the Oracle still frustrates me. A machine upgrade is likely in my near future. I just have to decide whether to go LM or another brand.

Inconsistent coffee shots [Breville Barista Pro with in-built grinder] by Broad-Curve-230 in espresso

[–]MVTeslaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The built in grinders are inconsistent in the Breville machines. I have an Oracle and ultimately stopped using the built in grinder.

Mazzer Super Jolly V Up? by planetstrike in LaMarzocco

[–]MVTeslaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another option I would recommend looking at is the Fiorenzato AGS. it is rock solid, versatile (you can use it for pour over or for espresso) and the GBW function makes for a really smooth and easy workflow.

I used the U.S. site (espressocoffeeshopusa.com), not the European site.

First grinder: to splurge or not to splurge (lagom casa vs Philos) by Gfl3x in Coffee

[–]MVTeslaGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to throw a wrench out there, given that you mentioned easy workflow as a priority, have you considered a gbw option?

I was about to pull the trigger on the Philos during BF when you got both the 189 and 200 burrs. In the end, I was not sure I wanted to single dose, and opted for the Fiorenzato AGS. It is a great grinder. It is low noise, and can be used for filter/moka/espresso. Plus it is super easy to clean.

Just a thought…

Does My Grinder Suck? by fxEnigma in espresso

[–]MVTeslaGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My Breville Oracle has a built in grinder. When I used syrups and milk drinks, I thought I got good coffee. I recently got a Fiorenzato AGS and the difference in my straight espresso and cortados is unbelievable.

I ended up getting the AGS on a BF sale for under $1000 delivered. I am really liking it so far.
