Paragon

Paragon is an innovative coffee brewing system designed to capture more aroma volatiles and flavor.

It features a patented extract-chilling feature that can capture up to 40% more volatile compounds than traditional methods. The Paragon is versatile, accommodating any pour-over dripper, and made of durable materials.

The Paragon coffee brewing system is responding to the challenge of enhancing the aroma and flavor of coffee. Traditional filter brewing methods result in the immediate loss of aroma volatiles to the environment, leading to a loss of compounds that contribute to the coffee's flavor and aroma. Through our research we know there are more than 100 different aroma volatiles present in coffee, and the unique combination of these aroma volatiles gives coffee its distinctive flavors and aromas. However, many of these aroma volatiles are present in such small quantities that they cannot be detected by the human senses.

This innovative brewing system, aims to enhance coffee aroma and flavor through its patented extract-chilling feature. The development process involved collaboration with Zurich University of Applied Sciences to understand the science of coffee aroma volatiles and capture them effectively. The design team created a versatile and user-friendly system that accommodates any pour-over dripper, making it highly adaptable to users' preferred brewing methods. The system's materials were chosen carefully for safety, durability, and sustainability. After three years of research and numerous prototypes, the team successfully designed a brewing system that captures more aroma volatiles and flavor, providing an exceptional coffee experience.
