Concentrate and Dilute

NextLevel's official concentrate-and-dilute Pulsar method brews a deliberately strong, full-bodied base before adding hot water in the carafe. Separating extraction from final strength creates a rich cup whose drinking intensity is easy to tune.

Notes

Adjust grind to bring the concentrated brew close to 5 min without forcing the valve. Add 75g of hot water to the carafe after brewing, then taste before adding more. If dilution reveals dryness, coarsen the next brew; if it tastes hollow, grind finer.
