GF brought her Delonghi Dedica when we moved in together.
Never was able to pull a decent shot, especially with the stock dedica grinder and pressurized Portafilter.
So i decided to take matters into my own.
Startet with getting a better bottomless Portafilter, moddified the stock grinder, still not happy.
Got the Kingrinder K6 and then decided on modding the machine, adding a Manometer and Dimmer.
Very happy with the result, able to grind fine enough with the K6 and reducing the pressure to around 8-9 Bars with the dimmer and manometer.
*On the last picture you can see when she started regretting letting me do the mods ^^
What do you think? 🙂

Total noob here. You are modifying the pressure but can you just tweak that with a dimmer for the pump? Or how does that work? Thanks!
Damn I’d love a manometer on my humble little dedica. Just seems like too much work though.
Dude this is so hardcore and I like it! Love my dedica, and yes it needs a good grinder and you’ll be 10x happier with your coffee.
Nicely done. I like the design of the 3D printed housing.
Amazing and that mirror….
Sehr sehr geil 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤘
That’s amazing. You’re only missing the Rancilio Silvia steam wand mod!
That bottomless portafilter costs about the same as the machine?
I wanna do mods. Is there a place I can read up?
You have sharable schematics for those?
