Finer grind or more rest?

Gaggia classic, rocky doserless grinder, SM Grace Note blend.
It's had 5 days rest, grinding finer would get me a longer pull but comes close to choking.

or should I shut up and be happy with the pull cause it tastes pretty good? :lol:

i've heard somewhere here that shots dont pull consistently through due to needing more rest, so that's the real question as this starts pulling perfectly, then flows way too fast towards the end.

It looked a little fast. The crema cone was not huge so I would say your outgassing is about where it should be. I would grind a touch finer or add 0.5 grams to your dose, but if it tastes good, that is all that really matters.
