Designed in Partnership with Zurich University
The Paragon isn’t just a stylish accessory it’s based on years of scientific research. In testing, it has been shown to help retain up to 40% more key aroma compounds during brewing compared to unchilled extraction. These are the same compounds responsible for fruity, floral, and bright flavors in espresso.
Why Aroma Retention Matters
When hot espresso hits the air, essential aroma molecules begin to evaporate. These compounds carry a large part of the perceived flavor. By chilling the espresso as it brews, the Paragon helps keep these compounds in the liquid, not in the air. The difference is noticeable in both the taste and aroma.
Chilling Rock Design
The Paragon includes a 30mm stainless steel chilling rock with a titanium coating. It’s filled with a dense, food-safe gel that freezes quickly and stays cold longer than water-filled versions. Its large surface area and spherical shape allow for fast and even cooling of your espresso stream without interrupting the workflow.
Fits Any Setup
The aluminum espresso mount is lightweight, durable, and easy to position. With its adjustable height and anti-slip grips, it fits a wide range of espresso machines and cup sizes. Just place it under your portafilter, and you're ready to chill during extraction.
Used in World Championships
The Paragon has been used by some of the world’s top baristas, including finalists in the World Barista and Ibrik Championships. It’s a trusted tool for those who want their coffee to taste its best in the highest levels of competition.
