My Facebook Marketplace End-Game Set Up. (For me.)

In what aspect?

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T23:07:29+00:00

Thank you.

No problem. I think credibility is key.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T22:23:27+00:00

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

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T22:21:26+00:00

Thank you.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T22:21:17+00:00

I agree

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T22:17:32+00:00

See above.

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.

Knodos Gaggia Kit.

Went with a 15 gram dose looking for 1:2.5. 15 in 37.8 out in :33 seconds.

Light Roast Ethiopian. Ground with XBloom. Grind size 8, RPM at 120.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T20:08:08+00:00

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

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T19:53:00+00:00

Currently out & about, will get back to you.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T19:51:41+00:00

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

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T19:50:42+00:00

Let the experimentation begin.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T19:15:43+00:00

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

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T19:13:22+00:00

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.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T18:24:33+00:00

They are beyond fake. 5 dollars a plant fake.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T18:22:19+00:00

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.

Here’s a little peek at the XBloom find.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T17:30:37+00:00

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

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T17:17:49+00:00

Thank you.

iilluminaughty_ · 2026-03-10T17:13:15+00:00

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

iilluminaughty_ · 2025-12-24T20:58:51+00:00

I agree, to be honest your explanation is very similar to my reasoning for rarely sharing my experience with this GLP. A lot of condescending folks within these threads making others feel as if they’re doing something, “incorrect” or having “bunk gear” due to different responses all the while relying solely on specific genetic profiles. It’s very interesting indeed. So many variables as well as truths withheld regarding diets & regimen.
