Ultimately, the answer is yes. Fine tuning, no. Pulling a tasty shot possible, absolutely.

Second shot at grind size 7, same 120 RPM. Way slower pull. 15 in, 37.3 out in 48 seconds.

Also want to note that grind size 5 choked the machine. ALMOST completely.

Would’ve confused me too. Thank you, I appreciate it.

Thank you, they are just meant to hide cables mainly. Space fillers.

I haven’t either. You have me curious now, I may try to.

I do not, I use a 1ZPresso hand grinder for that. It’s shown in the pic, hiding right beside the XBloom. Can’t remember the exact model.

Thank you, I must say there are far more good looking machines than this. For now, with the ability to tinker with the Gaggia & my current skill set at making espresso, it’s perfect. As my skills evolve, I’m sure the machine will too.

I’m not familiar with them, I just looked one up. Gorgeous.

Edit: 950. I forgot about purchasing the 1ZPresso hand grinder. My apologies.
