For a standard 14 gram filter, I aim for 28 grams of espresso, in 20-25 seconds. By using a scale with an integrated timer, I can just hold the button down until the desired amount has been reached. Upon releasing the button, the amount in milliliters has been programmed. This perfect dosing, in volumetric fashion, makes the DeLonghi Dedica a winner in my book.
