Standard

NextLevel's standard Pulsar brewing guide offers a dependable daily structure: saturate the bed with the valve closed, then open it for two controlled pours. Valve position governs drawdown, giving the brewer a balanced cup that is easy to tune.

Notes

Keep the valve closed until the bloom has saturated the entire bed, then set it progressively rather than making abrupt changes. Open farther when drawdown lags and narrow it when flow is too fast. Use grind primarily for strength: finer for more extraction, coarser for a lighter cup.
