A Design Backed by Science
Paragon is a patented design that utilizes innovative coffee cooling technology to enhance the coffee-making experience. It has long been clear that aroma plays just as important a role in coffee preparation as flavor. To preserve more aroma in the cup, they collaborated with the University of Zurich to create the Paragon device, which maximizes the potential of the brewing process.
Based on many years of extensive research, it has been scientifically proven that this device captures up to 40% more aromatic molecules in the coffee than in an identical cup prepared without cooling.
And what is the key feature of its design?
The cooling sphere. It is made of food-grade stainless steel and coated with a layer of highly durable titanium. Its spherical shape and large surface area allow for even and rapid cooling. Inside the ball is a high-density liquid gel that maintains a lower temperature for longer and cools faster than hollow or water-filled alternatives.
Paragon is designed to fit all your favorite drippers.
Usage
Place the dripper on top. Place the cooling ball into the holder below it. Adjust the height of the cooling ball holder so that it is just below the dripper but does not touch its bottom. Place a server or pitcher underneath. The cooling ball should be fully frozen before each use.
Cleaning
There is no need to disassemble the Paragon before cleaning. Use a damp cloth and a mild detergent to wipe down the surfaces. Avoid excessive heat and chemicals, as these can cause fading or remove the finish. Simply rinse the cooling ball with warm or cold water after each use, without using detergent. Dry it with a clean cloth before returning it to the freezer.
How long does it take for the cooling ball to freeze? We recommend placing it in a standard freezer set to a temperature of -10 to -20 °C for 1 hour. You can check if it’s completely frozen by shaking it. If it is not completely frozen, you will feel the gel inside moving. If the gel inside does not move, it is fully frozen and ready to use.
