Know before you buy
The Paragon (V2) is a precision stand designed to stabilize your pour-over setup while managing temperature variables. By minimizing movement and optimizing the brewing environment, it helps preserve volatile aroma compounds for a more consistent and flavorful cup.
The V2 features an updated upper arm specifically engineered for universal compatibility. This improvement allows the stand to accommodate a much wider range of brewing devices securely, effectively eliminating the wobbling issues found in earlier iterations.
The V2 is designed to be highly versatile and should fit most standard pour-over drippers on the market. Its updated arm geometry is built to provide a stable, wobble-free base for a diverse array of brewing equipment.
By reducing physical instability and helping to control temperature-related variables during the brew, the Paragon creates a more consistent extraction process. While it doesn't change the coffee beans themselves, it provides the precision needed to consistently highlight the delicate aroma compounds that are often lost during inconsistent brewing.
No, the stand is designed for straightforward, daily use. Once you have positioned your dripper on the updated arm, the stability is immediate, allowing you to focus entirely on your pouring technique rather than the equipment.
