NextLevel Pulsar™ Brewer

Amazing coffee brewer for the price. I am experienced in the World of espresso but have never done drip before but this made it so easy and simple not to mention delicious.I love that it came with filters but also how the plastic body so easily comes apart for cleaning and it feels durable. Very simple device but its design is advanced I would recommend it to anyone for a small portable brewing device to work your way into the world of pour over

Es un producto versátil, el next level pulsar, se convirtió en uno de mis métodos favoritos con solo usarlo 4 veces, Mix entre un método de inmersión y un filtrado.

It's very simple to use, and you don't need a gooseneck kettle or barista skill in water flow control. I experimented with different levels of bean roasting/grinding against emersion times. It's a good companion for exploring different beans with different roasting and grinding levels.

Not an every day brewer. But it's great for an on the go or a low dose high extraction recipe. Best to use a course grind to prevent astringency, bitterness and over extraction as that's pretty easy to do with this brewer. Pretty easy to get it pretty close to perfect with practice. And very easy to repeat a certain extraction exactly, so I like it for comparing different beans.

Excelente método, además muy buen material para transportar

Tried way too many, this one's the best, easy & consistent. This brew method gives you a lot of control, compared to other brewers which tend to control you on how to properly make your coffee right. You don't need to keep scrolling for the "right method/recipe" and overcomplicate things. Just give it a swirl at blooming phase (wet WDT sucks on this, makes it uneven and clog), open the drain and keep adding water to about an inch from the base til you hit your weight. That's it. I've tried 15gr-30gr with great result. Cleaning is as easy as a Aeropress, just remove the chamber and chuck the coffee into trash, rinse and done.With zero bypass, no water creeping out from the side of the cone without extracting your coffee ground. All the water you pour into it 100% going to make contact/extraction and go through the coffee as if the coffee ground filtering it before it goes to your cup. Just gotta know how to dial it right and do micro adjustments whenever you change your beans. Pair the grind size with the right water temperature and beans correctly, you'll be at the happiest place.

UPDATE: as of now (12/24), I have made well over 200+ brews in the Pulsar. In short it is by far the best pourover brewer I have used and is now my go-to brewer for my daily pourover coffee. I'm not throwing out my other brewers, but this one is my favorite and gets used more than anything else. The resulting cup and consistency puts it well ahead of any other pourover brewer I have used.I've been using this brewer for a couple of weeks now and have enjoyed the coffee it makes. That said, the device is not without some quirks.My first attempt led to a watered down brew with grounds in the coffee because the body was not seated correctly in the base. Out of the box, the rubbery base material is quite stiff and you will need to apply some force against a hard, flat surface in order to assemble the brewer correctly and get a good seal around the paper filter. I found that rinsing the base with warm water made it more flexible and easier to assemble.Another issue is the shower screen lid. If you are not careful, the way the screen slows the water down may lead you to pour from your kettle too fast and over-pour the water for your recipe. My advice is to pour at at a controlled, slow and steady pace and pay attention to your scale rather than the water column height in the body of the brewer.Note also that due to the shape of the brewer base, this brewer will not be a good match for all carafes and cups. My advice is to find one where the brewer fits well and is not barely balanced so as to tip over too easily BEFORE you begin brewing. If the brewer is not level enough your coffee bed will be uneven and that could lead to an uneven extraction.For light roast coffee, I grind using a burr gap of 780-810 microns, which is 26-27 clicks on a C40. This is slightly coarser than what I do for some cone dripper brews. If you are used to grinding near a Moka Pot grind size you will likely have to coarsen your grind in order to avoid filter clogging and bitter, over-extracted coffee. Depending on what grinder you have, you may have experiment a bit with your grind settings to find what works for you and the coffee you typically drink.The recipe I mainly use is 15g of coffee with three pours of 80ml-80ml-80ml. I usually steep the first pour with the valve closed for anywhere from 30 seconds to one minute, then I do the remaining pours with the valve 3/4 of the way open. Total brew time is ~3-4 minutes usually. If the coffee is too intense I will reduce the steeping time of the first pour.Next Level typically recommends doses of ~20g with this brewer due to the diameter of the coffee bed. I am probably pushing things a bit with the 15g dose and wouldn't recommend trying to go lower than that.I personally found that the coffee I get from this brewer is more nuanced and more consistent than what I get with a typical cone style dripper. Assembly and cleanup is a little more time consuming than most pourover devices but the result is worth it overall to me. If I was in a rush and needed to make coffee quickly I would probably choose a different brewing device.
