The amount of waste, I would guess, is maybe 1/2 pound a year with a doser, so that's no reason to go doserless.

Just look in the grinder and once a triangle of vane is full, you have a shot ready, but I go a little extra to be safe.

Again, I have heard many say they don't like the doserless because they get clumps in the portafilter where they don't with the doser breaking up the grinds.
