Official

NextLevel's official Pulsar starter recipe uses a closed-valve bloom followed by four open-valve pulses through the dispersion cap. It is a straightforward single-cup method intended to deliver even saturation, balanced extraction, and repeatability.

Notes

Keep the valve closed until the bloom has wetted the full bed, then open it for every pulse. Pour into the cap rather than chasing circles; its holes distribute water for you. Make each pulse similar in pace and size, and adjust grind if the bed drains unevenly between additions.
