Concentrate Bypass

Next Level LVL-10 Nextlevel by NextLevel Brewer Co

NextLevel's LVL-10 concentrate-and-bypass method pairs a cooler bloom with a hotter main extraction. The temperature shift seeks delicate aromatics first, then sweetness and body, before hot-water dilution sets cup strength.

Notes

Bloom at 75-80°C, then use 88°C for the main extraction. Taste before adding about 300g of hot bypass water, and add it gradually if the coffee is unusually soluble so aroma is not lost to over-dilution.
