Method for dispensed output of a fluid at an output opening of a dispensing channel of a dispensing device, with the following method steps: (a) outputting a first proportion of a target fluid amount to be output by means of a pump connected into the dispensing channel, (b) applying pressurised air to a buffer channel portion of the dispensing channel provided upstream of the output opening, which buffer channel portion is filled with fluid coming from the pump, such that the buffer channel portion including a fluid buffer volume confined therein is placed under pressure, and (c) subsequently outputting the remaining proportion of the target fluid amount to be dispensed from the buffer channel portion which is pressurised by the pressurised air, characterized in, that the fluid to be dispensed is sucked via a supply opening of the dispensing channel from a fluid reservoir, that the application of pressurised air to the buffer channel portion, which is filled with fluid sucked by the pump, takes place in a condition where the buffer channel portion is separated both from the output opening and from the pump, and that the outputting of the remaining proportion of the target fluid amount to be dispensed by the pressurised air takes place from the buffer channel portion, which is separated from the pump, in a clocked manner by means of a dispensing valve arranged in the dispensing channel between the buffer channel portion and the output opening, which dispensing valve is switched alternately into an open position allowing a fluid passage and into a closed position preventing a fluid passage, wherein the actuation in a clocked manner of the dispensing valve only takes place until the target fluid amount is output and subsequently the dispensing valve remains in the closed position, wherein the actual fluid amount actually output at the output opening is detected and is compared with the target fluid amount to be dispensed, wherein the clocked actuation of the dispensing valve takes place for as long as the detected actual fluid amount corresponds to the target fluid amount.
