Grind setting for Pulsar: coarse.
Set up, step by step.
Do this once before your first brew. When you're ready, the matching brew guide takes over with a live, guided timer.
- Boil the kettle Boil a little extra water so you can warm your server if you like.
- Weigh 20g of coffee and grind it Start with a coarse grind. The valve will help you fine-tune the flow.
- Place the filter flat in the valve base Smooth the paper across the base so there are no folds or lifted edges.
- Press the brew chamber securely into the base Check that the chamber is seated evenly before adding coffee.
- Place the brewer on your server and scale Use a stable server with enough room for the full brew.
- Close the flow valve Start fully closed. The guide will drain the bloom, close again, then restrict the valve near the 1:15 clock position.
- Add the coffee and level the bed Gently shake the brewer until the coffee sits flat.
- Place the dispersion cap on top Pouring through the cap will spread water gently across the coffee.
- Turn on the scale and tare it to 0g Make sure your scale is set to grams before you begin.
- You’re all set! Press "Done" to start the timer. Filtru will guide the valve and low water column through the 3:30 target. If it finishes early, grind finer next time. If it runs late, grind coarser.
Ready for the first brew?
Filtru's guided timer tells you what to do and when. Connect a Bluetooth scale and it records weight and flow as you pour, so even your first brew is one you can learn from.
