Clarity

NextLevel Pulsar Nextlevel by Kaldi's Coffee

Kaldi's Coffee applies an immersion bloom and shallow pulse pours to the Pulsar. The closed start builds sweetness and texture, while controlled open-valve additions limit the water column and pursue a clear cup with a rounded mouthfeel.

Notes

Close the valve for full bloom saturation, then open it before pulsing. Keep only a shallow pool above the grounds so pressure and flow remain stable. If clarity falls away, reduce agitation or coarsen slightly; if sweetness is underdeveloped, extend bloom contact before changing the pours.
