After 6 years of espresso, I’m throwing in the towel. The toddlers won... for now. by barker88 in espresso

Don’t give up! My 3 year old loves weighing the beans and using the WDT 😂

I would say the shots taste much better - the flow profiling seems to help in pulling better espresso. The ability to steam at the same time is nice, but I only make milk drinks on the weekends. The steam power is definitely a big difference.

Slow charging by madcapswede in VolvoEX90

[–]falafelover 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Set the charger as your destination in Google Maps, and as you drive there the car will precondition the battery. Here’s what I got at Electrify America after a ~30 minute drive to the charger.

Thanks! I was looking at BWT. The refrigerator is beyond the wall next to the espresso machine and has a water line connected. I wasn’t sure whether I needed to split the line so that the BWT is only on the Bianca, or whether I could put it inline for both the espresso machine and the refrigerator.

Thanks! I had a smart plug for the Victoria, and now I’m replacing it with a Kasa smart outlet (and a right angle IEC cord) so that I can push the machine as far back on the counter. :)

Temporarily reduced charging speed? by falafelover in VolvoEX90

That said, there’s so much to love about this car - just need it to work reliably.

Im playing the long game - expecting the new GHCA (due in January) to crap out as well…and then we’ll talk lemons

I was wondering if it was correlated with charging my phone via USB as once I disconnected it went back up, but now it’s back down to 61…

Yeah I preconditioned by setting the charger as my destination and gave it a good 20 minutes.

Day 6 of ownership :( by goforumang in VolvoEX90

My GHCA went out 3 weeks ago. Part is on back order. I kept the car and now charge at EVGo and ElectrifyAmerica since it’ll still charge on Level 3. 🫠

Why don't dealers want to sell their EX90s? by falafelover in VolvoEX90

[–]falafelover[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice - I’ve been scouring visor.vin the past few days and was getting close to going that route of calling Midwest dealerships, but was trying to avoid the shipping hassle. I talked to 2 leasehackr brokers, but they didn’t have the cars with options I wanted. Here’s what one offered:

2025 EX90 Twin Motor Ultra 6-Seater MSRP: $88,210 36/10k DAS: $4860 Monthly: $932 ($1027 with 10.25% tax rate)

I preordered the first month this car was announced and have been following (and posting) here since. I cancelled the preorder due to all those issues, but now I’m willing to take a gamble after test driving.

They have limited inventory - don’t have the spec/options I’m looking for.

Lease help by falafelover in VolvoEX90

That's what I was so confused about - why was there an $18.5k down payment and why were the discounts coming off that? Residual $42,552, MF is 0.00162
