NCD Pulse

Achieving consistent espresso extraction requires uniform coffee ground distribution within the portafilter. Traditional methods often lead to inconsistencies, affecting flavour and quality. The challenge was to develop a tool that addresses both horizontal and vertical distribution, ensuring even density throughout the coffee puck. Additionally, the design needed to accommodate various coffee types, roasts, and doses, offering versatility for users in both professional and home settings. The solution also had to integrate seamlessly into the barista's workflow, enhancing efficiency without compromising on quality.

The NCD Pulse integrates Pulse Vibration technology with a four-blade, anti-static design, ensuring even coffee distribution both horizontally and vertically. Adjustable height settings with numbered markers allow precise customisation, while multiple vibration modes let baristas refine extraction for different coffee profiles. Its seamless wireless technology enhances usability, making the design feel smart, intuitive, and familiar. The charging dock supports over 1,000 cycles on the highest setting, ensuring efficiency in busy environments. By combining precision, adaptability, and effortless operation, the NCD Pulse sets a new standard for coffee distribution tools, improving workflow and extraction consistency for baristas worldwide.

The NCD Pulse has made a profound impact on the coffee industry by advancing the standard for coffee ground distribution. Commercially, it has become a must-have tool for baristas, elevating espresso quality and consistency, and boosting Nucleus Coffee Tools' reputation.
