Panasonic NC-PS35 Coffee Maker with Activated Carbon Filter

If you’ve ever made coffee at home and wondered why it never tastes quite like the café version—despite using good beans—it might not be your technique. The problem could be the water. Tap water impurities, odours, and minerals can radically alter extraction, crema development, and overall flavour. For a consistent home brew, filtering your water matters more than you think.

The Panasonic NC-PS35 coffee maker includes a built-in activated carbon water filter and a U-style spray extraction system to improve taste. It brews up to 680ml (about 5 cups) using 40g of coffee beans, with three flavour settings and an integrated grinder.

What Is the Panasonic NC-PS35?

The Panasonic NC-PS35 is a compact, white coffee maker designed for home use. It combines a built-in grinder, a spray extraction system, and an activated carbon water filter to deliver a streamlined coffee experience. Its dimensions are 245×170×300mm, and it weighs 2.5kg. The machine operates at two power levels: 120W for grinding and 680W for brewing.

How the U-Style Spray Extraction Works

The NC-PS35 uses what Panasonic calls a “U-STYLE” brewing method. This involves boiling water, pressurising it, and then spraying it through the coffee grounds. This method aims to produce a more even extraction, resulting in what the manufacturer describes as a “natural, aromatic, and rich” cup. The spray system is part of the machine’s effort to mimic some aspects of professional extraction without a traditional portafilter setup.

Flavour Settings and Customisation

The coffee maker offers three preset flavour profiles:

• Rich: A bold, full-bodied cup with deep flavour notes.
• Original: A balanced taste with a slight sweetness following initial bitterness.
• Iced Coffee: A lighter, clearer brew suited for iced preparation.

Beyond the presets, users can also customise their cup by grinding their own coffee beans. The built-in grinder allows you to load up to 40g of beans, giving you control over freshness and roast profile—though the machine does not specify grind size adjustment.

Integrated Grinder and Water Filtration

A key feature of the NC-PS35 is its built-in grinder, which lets you grind whole beans just before brewing. You can fill the grinder with up to 40g of coffee beans, ensuring fresher flavour compared to pre-ground coffee. In addition, the machine includes an activated carbon filter that purifies the water before it enters the heating and brewing cycle. This helps reduce chlorine, odour, and mineral interference during extraction.

Additional Functions: Tea Brewing

Interestingly, the NC-PS35 includes a specially designed tea filter attachment. This allows the machine to brew tea as well as coffee. While details on leaf capacity or steep time are not specified, the feature adds versatility for users who want more than just coffee from their machine.
