Scott Rao’s NextLevel Pulsar Recipe
"A great starting point for Pulsar, minimizes channeling, maximizes clarity"
Scott Rao
Tips & Preparation
- Grind coarser than for hand pour, finer than batch brew.
- Use water with approximately 100 ppm general hardness and 40 ppm alkalinity.
- An 800-micron PSD peak is about the right grind size for a 25-g dose.
- Use no less than 20g; 25g—30g provides adequate bed depth to decrease risk of astringency.
- Use WWDT (Wet Weiss Distribution Technique) during the bloom to ensure even flow through the coffee bed.
- If total brew time is shorter than 3:30, grind finer.
- If total brew time is longer than 4:30, grind coarser.
- Short blooms seem to enhance clarity and aroma.
- Longer blooms seem to enhance body and texture.
- Set filter in base of Pulsar, wet filter with hot water, with valve open, drain water, mount barrel firmly on base, pour coffee in Pulsar, shake or WDT to level grounds.
