A matrix percolator is a cylindrical percolator design with a grid-like structure of many small slits – horizontally and vertically. This "matrix" breaks down the smoke into many fine bubbles and ensures very even filtration.
How does a matrix percolator work?
The smoke flows into the cylindrical percolator and exits through the dense grid of slits on all sides. Because there are so many openings, countless small bubbles are created simultaneously – distributed all around. This results in intensive, even diffusion and a very smooth draw.
The advantages
- Very fine bubbles – dense slit grid.
- Even filtration – distributed all around.
- Good airflow – pleasant to draw despite fine diffusion.
Matrix compared to other percolators
The matrix percolator is one of the most effective designs when it comes to smooth smoke – similar in fineness to the Honeycomb, but effective all around due to its 3D structure. Combined with a second percolator, you get an extremely smooth draw from it.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the filtration so fine?
Because of the many small slits in the grid, which create many fine bubbles at once.
Is a matrix percolator difficult to draw from?
No, despite fine diffusion, the airflow remains pleasant.
How do I clean it?
Flood with cleaning solution and rinse several times – the many slits require regularity.
