How-tos
Paragon does not need to be disassembled before cleaning. Use a damp cloth and mild cleaning agent to wipe down surfaces. Avoid excessive heat and chemical exposure as this can fade or remove surface coating.
- Place your filter device on the top section.
- Sit your chilling rock in the holder below.
- Adjust the height of your chilling rock holder so the chilling rock sits just under, but not touching the bottom of your filter device, to avoid excess volatile loss.
After each use, clean your chilling rock by rinsing it with warm or cold water, without detergent.
Dry with a clean cloth before returning it to the freezer.
Troubleshooting
If you’ve broken or lost a piece of your Paragon brewing stand, we advise you to contact the company/reseller you originally purchased it from.
If you cannot get in contact with your local reseller, send us a message via our contact page and we will see what we can do to help.
In July 2024, the Paragon was updated with a new upper arm. This enables a more universal function, with a wider range of coffee brewing devices able to be used for extract chilling.
If you have a previous model of the Paragon, the new upper arm is available for separate purchase from a number of our global resellers.
We recommend placing the chilling rock in a standard freezer between -10 and -20°C for 1 hour. You can check if it is fully frozen by shaking the rock. If not quite frozen, you will feel the internal gel moving around. If the internal gel does not move, the chilling rock is fully frozen and ready to use.
Cracks, dents or holes will damage the chilling rock. Each rock can be used indefinitely where there is no physical damage present.
Yes. For optimal extract chilling, we recommend using a frozen rock for each coffee.
Not all coffees will taste best with the same amount of extract chilled. We recommend you view our educational guidance for tips here. *Link to Youtube and Linktree*
Paragon has been designed to be adjustable in height, allowing you to pair it with your favourite dripper and carafe. Extract chiling is a post-extraction method, so we recommend you start by using your preferred recipe and apply the Paragon as an additional step.
