The Pulsar is a collaboration between NextLevel and astrophysicist Jonathan Gagné. As soon as I saw what they were up to, I was eager to sell the Pulsar, and have worldwide exclusivity on sales for the first month after the Pulsar’s release. The Pulsar is a “no bypass brewer” with a valve to control flow. Jonathan worked with NextLevel to improve the shower screen performance, the dimensions of the brewer, and to add the valve, to maintain a slurry during blooming, and to control flow. The result is a small miracle: it is easier to achieve even extractions with the Pulsar than any other percolation brewer. The Pulsar is my go-to manual brewer and great for travel. It weighs less than 1/2 pound and does not require a special kettle for optimal performance. Comes with 100 filters. See this page for extra filters.
