Next Level LVL-10

Official

NextLevel's official LVL-10 recipe uses the brewer's adjustable flow to move from restricted immersion into open percolation. The transition is intended to combine substantial body from the metal mesh with a clear finish.

Notes

Keep the initial restriction repeatable from brew to brew, then open the control smoothly so the bed is not disturbed by a sudden pressure change. Tune body with the restricted phase first and grind size second; expect the mesh to retain oils.
