Standard Percolation

Next Level LVL-10 Nextlevel by NextLevel Brewer Co

NextLevel's official standard-percolation recipe for the LVL-10 controls the valve during bloom, then uses open-valve pulses. Holding a shallow water column supports even flow through the flat bed for a clear, consistent cup.

Notes

Use the dispersion cap and maintain about 2cm of water above the coffee during the main pulses. Add each pulse before the bed becomes visible; if the column keeps rising, grind coarser rather than pausing long enough to cool the slurry.
