NextLevel Pulsar™ Brewer

easy to use. reliable, great efficiency

Have the Hario v60, Kalita Wave, 2 Chemex’s, an Aeropress XL, and this Pulsar. The Pulsar has been my go to brewer ever since I got it. The flavors were clearly more pronounced and the versatility is fantastic. Also simple clean up and use. A must have in the pantheon of home pourovers.

quite small, both in diameter and volume. if you have a favorite mug, you need to check that it is less than 9.5 cm wide because this is the diameter of the base of the brewer. Very expensive for what you get. Filters are quality and can be washed and reused. Overall disappointing and not noticeably better than my clever dripper.

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.

Tons of hype on this on youtube and social media but is overblown. Tried it daily for 3 weeks with several different coffees. The materials feel cheap and unsturdy, it was hard to dial in coffee brew times with different grind sizes and I have a good grinder. I am back to my V60 and I doubt I will ever touch this thing again. Massive waste of $60 and I wish I could get a refund.

I purchased the Next Level Pulsar on Amazon two months ago and wanted to let you know that I'm incredibly impressed. I'm still amazed by the body and quality of the coffee I get every time I brew a cup. It's a fantastic product!

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

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.
