Dark Roast

NextLevel Pulsar Nextlevel by NextLevel Brewer Co

NextLevel's official dark-roast Pulsar method lowers brewing heat to restrain the easy solubility of developed coffee. It aims for a full, sweet cup that preserves roast richness while reducing bitterness, dryness, and ashy flavors.

Notes

Use 88°C and keep agitation restrained, since dark coffee extracts readily. If the finish remains bitter or drying, grind coarser before lowering heat further. If the cup is flat, grind slightly finer while retaining the gentler water temperature.
