Concentrate + Dilute

Next Level LVL-10 Nextlevel by NextLevel Brewer Co

NextLevel's official Concentrate + Dilute method sends only part of the total water through the LVL-10 bed, then adds hot bypass water to the carafe. It targets full extraction with adjustable strength and a clean finish.

Notes

Brew with 360g through the bed, then mix in 140g of hot bypass water to reach 500g total. Stir the carafe thoroughly before tasting; alter bypass amount only after the concentrated extraction tastes sweet and complete.
