Exactly! I was at a fancy specialty coffee store today looking for the tools to upgrade my own DeLonghi Dedica and this employer was all convinced the Dedica could not be upgraded with a bottomless portafilter etc., and I should upgrade to a 'better' (i.e. more expensive) machine. Videos like this give me hope...:)

I swapped recently to bottomless portafilter and I immediately understood why staff at De'Longhi dont recommend this upgrade. Grinding, tamping pressure, dosing is important now. As well as bean quality and roasting process. Sometimes if i got new batch of beans id waste 3-4 shots before I'd get them somewhat right. I can see people come to delonghi saying their machine is broken lol

Hey Jamie, get the K4. It is much better than the Timemore. K4: amzn.to/3JesiE9

Great video as usual ❤

Amazing 🤩

It seems it’s a turbo shot (compared to traditional 30s target). Is it for taste preference or for video edition? Do you have any plan to improve further your Dedica? I feel one improvement could be a sensor with arduino/raspberry that would stop the brew based on the output weight.

Hey tom, I was wondering whether this shot is considered to be really quick or not. It was dialed in 18 seconds. Why didn't you aim for 25-30 seconds? did you adjust it on taste? or that's what you think dedica should produce. Also, I face the same problem in extraction, and its shown in the video. the extraction makes a huge line of espresso then it gets thicker in the end. its not consistent one thick line, like its spilling water in a cone shape which I think is more of a coarse grind issue.

@TomsCoffeeCorner

6 ай бұрын

I think including pre-infusion that the shot was around 22 seconds. But anyway, sure you can grind finer. Also, I found that this Timemore Nano was off center, with its burr axis, and therefore provided uneven grinds - leading to extra channeling. Which grinder are you using?

you only need 2 things for a good espresso: 1. reasonable tools and 2. experience and routine .. no "Laqnvy fancy" high end stuff... its the same as with the HiFi and High End Blablabla.... tag the end we deal not about 99,576845% but the decisive 85-90 %: beans, grinding and consistency, pressure (tamper), temperature, pressure (by machine < or=9 bar).. and so I decided to spend more than 4 times for the flat burr grinder (more differentiated flavors also for dark roasts) than for my Dedica 685 ( demo item for about 140 euro)

Hi Tom! I have the same funnel as you do, and I find it extremely frustrating that it leaves this gap around the edges of the filter after wdt. I usually tap against the counter repeatedly before tamping because of this. Do you tamp as is? Have you seen any channeling because of it? Thanks! :)

@@ribesjordi First, thanks Tom for showing how far you can push this little machine! I have made a number of upgrades on my Delonghi, and everyone is surprised at how well this machine can work at pulling shots! Jordi - As someone who owns both types of funnels, I find that there is a tradeoff between having one that funnels into the basket and one that sits atop the basket. The one that sits atop the basket benefits from not leaving an impression in the grounds after WDT. The one that sits atop the ridge of the basket avoids this, but the result is that more of the grounds don't make it into the basket. In my case, I've run into a situation where about 0.1-0.2g of coffee ended up on top of the ridge of the basket when I removed the funnel, adding a source of variability to my process. Ultimately, I find I prefer the funnel that feeds directly into the basket for this reason, but you might find the opposite to be better for your process.

@@brandony8691 thanks for the very detailed reply! I was considering getting a magnetic funnel, as I was worried that getting rid of the small gap across the ridge after WDT was affecting consistency.
