Know before you buy
The stand uses stainless steel chilling rocks to rapidly cool the initial drops of your extraction. This process traps volatile aromatic compounds that typically evaporate due to heat, resulting in a cup with significantly more clarity and complexity.
The Paragon is designed with adjustable tiers to accommodate most standard cone and flat-bottom brewers, including the Hario V60 and Origami drippers. Its versatile design ensures it can integrate seamlessly into your current brewing workflow.
The stand is compatible with most standard pour-over scales. Its footprint measures 165mm by 120mm, so as long as your scale fits within those dimensions, you should have no issues using it underneath the stand.
The chilling rocks are made from food-grade 304 stainless steel with a titanium coating, making them durable and easy to clean. Simply rinse them with warm water and mild soap after each use, ensuring they are completely dry before placing them back in the freezer.
Yes, you can use the stand as a standard pour-over station without the rocks if you prefer a traditional brewing experience. However, the chilling rocks are the primary feature for aroma preservation, so we recommend using them to get the full benefit of the design.
