The NCD Pulse uses subtle Pulse Vibration to ensure even distribution of coffee when preparing espresso.

Pulse Vibration technology
The NCD Pulse is equipped with four uniquely styled blades with anti-static coating, which disperse coffee for an even extraction while preventing the retention of coffee grinds. Using Pulse Vibration technology, the NCD Pulse allows for multiple vibration settings during grind distribution.

Improving puck density
Pulse Vibration helps to improve the even density of coffee grounds within a portafilter. As the blades spin horizontally to evenly distribute the top layers of the coffee grounds, the vibration of the NCD Pulse improves vertical distribution throughout the coffee puck.

Pulse as you please
The NCD Pulse’s multiple vibration modes provide users with the opportunity to change between low and high settings, allowing for experimentation and variation between coffees of varying roasts, dose, densities and processing methods.

The charging base is a convenient size for bench and bar tops, and allows for quick docking between distribution – meaning convenient storage between uses, and simple maintenance of battery.

Adjust for accuracy
Change the height settings as you please, using the numbered markers down the side as a guide. Enjoy millimetre-perfect measurements and perfect distribution every time, regardless of the density you’re working with.

Optimised for efficiency
Charging NCD Pulse is done via the activation dock. Once charged, the NCD Pulse can be used wirelessly, allowing convenient placement and portable use. The battery lasts over 1000 cycles on the high setting.

Nucleus Paragon Espresso Brewer is here!
Take your espresso quality to the next level with latest innovation
Effortless extract chilling for espressos. Say goodbye to makeshift setups, Nucleus brings the Paragon Chilling Rock to your espresso routine with this clever, lightweight design. Just place the Paragon Espresso on top of your cup and pull your shot as your normally would. Easy! This set includes 4 Paragon Chilling Rocks and 2 Paragon Espresso Mounts.

Enhanced flavours
Developed in collaboration with Zurich University of Applied Science (ZHAW), the Paragon Chilling Rock quickly cools down the extracted coffee as it touches the rock, locking in more flavours that would otherwise have been lost without the chilling technique.

In ZHAW’s research on volatile aroma compounds, they discovered that instantaneous cooling of the extraction would trap these compounds and result in more aromatic and flavour-rich coffees.

Optimal cooling
Unlike ordinary whiskey rocks, the Paragon Chilling Rock is specifically designed for use with coffee. They are made with titanium-coated stainless steel making them incredibly durable. Inside, these rocks are filled with a high-density liquid to keep them at the optimal temperature needed for effective extract chilling. They’re also designed to rapidly and evenly cool the coffee extraction that touches them.

Paragon Espresso Mount
No more balancing acts and makeshift stands! The Paragon Espresso Mount serves as a stable platform for the Paragon Chilling Rock and can be easily set on top of any cup. This custom mount is height-adjustable to accommodate different cups and coffee machines and is designed with anti-slip grips.

Nucleus Paragon Espresso Brewer Features
Designed for extract chilling – The Paragon Chilling Rock is designed to quickly and evenly cool the extractions that pass over it.
Richer flavours and aromas – Extract chilling retains more of the volatile aroma compounds responsible for the delicious sensory experience that comes with coffee, which is usually lost in more traditional brewing techniques.
Durable – Made with titanium-coated steel for durability.
Rapid cooling – The rocks are filled with high-density gel that keeps them at the perfect temperature for rapid cooling of the extraction.
Easy to use – The kit comes with the Paragon Espresso Mount which serves as a base for the chilling rock and can be set atop your favourite espresso cup.

This product comes with:
• 4 x Paragon Chilling Rocks
• 2 x Paragon Espresso Mount

Aroma volatile compounds play a key role in our perception of flavour. Typically, they evaporate, filling the air with the scent of coffee we know and love. To keep more flavour in the cup, we’ve partnered with Zurich University to create the Paragon, a tool which dramatically increases retention rates and maximises the potential of the brewing process.

Design backed by science
The Paragon’s patented design utilises innovative extract chilling technology to elevate your brewing experience.
Resulting from years of extensive research, the tool has been scientifically proven to capture and express up to 40% more key aroma volatile molecules than an identical brew without chilling – flavour that would otherwise be lost to the environment.

Layers of innovation
The chilling rock is a core component of the Paragon. Constructed from 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 chilling. Offering greater thermal capacity, the high-density liquid gel centre maintains colder temperatures for longer, and freezes faster than hollow or water-filled alternatives.

Adjustable height
Height-adjustable to accommodate different cups and coffee machines and is designed with anti-slip grips.

Chilling for espresso
The 30mm diametre chilling rock size is smaller than our Paragon Filter rocks and has been designed to suit espresso coffee with extra rocks available to order too.

We recently discovered the significant role of volatile aroma compounds in how we interpret and which flavors we can perceive. By brewing with Paragon Pour-Over Brewer, we utilize Extract Chilling technology to capture that flavor otherwise lost in the environment.

TECHNOLOGY BACKED BY SCIENCE
Extract chilling technology of the Nucleus Paragon pour-over brewer was researched at Coffee Excellence Center in Switzerland by Professor Chahan. Further more , many other professionals developed and tested it to bring excellence to your brewing approach.

NUCLEUS PARAGON ‘s CHILLING ROCK
Nucleus Paragon is designed to effectively extract a pour-over of any size. It is made of a metal casing that holds freezing solution liquid to increase the time the rock is frozen. The chilling rock should be at freezer temperature (below -5 degrees C) and used within 10 minutes of pulling out of the freezer, given they have reached an equilibrium frozen temperature in the freezer over time.

MAXIMUM FLAVOUR EXTRACTION
What we may think of as Jasmine is, in fact, a combination of different compounds coming together and reminding us of Jasmine. Nucleus Paragon retains up to 40% volatile aroma compounds maximizing your beverage’s flavor potential.

ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT
Nucleus Paragon is designed to fit your favourite vessel and your preferred pour-over brewer.

SUITABLE FOR:
Sanremo Cafe Racer, Sanremo Opera, Vittoria Arduino Black Eagle, Slayer, Kees van der Westen, La Marzocco Strada, La Marzocco Leva (height adjustment feet available for other machines.

Paragon Chilling Rocks are specifically designed for the Paragon Brewing System and will capture the most available volatiles during your brewing application. These chilling rocks have five unique features that allow the brewer to optimise the full potential of extract chilling.

Features:
• High density liquid filled core provides higher heat capacity.
• Maintaining colder temperature for longer comparing with hollow or water filled alternatives.
• Unique sphere shape that allows the coffee extract to flow and chill evenly.
• Large 40mm / 1.5inch diameter that rapidly chills the extract liquid over a large surface area.
• Titanium coated for increased durability.
• Food-grade 304 grade stainless steel.

Making a perfect cup of coffee means using quality tools to help reduce variables to ensure you are consistent each time. Grind distribution is one of the many variables that can impact on quality and consistency of each shot. That is, until the invention of the NCD (Nucleus Coffee Distributor), and now with the release of NCD, the depth is easily adjustable to accommodate the desired dose and basket depth.

A textured, non-slip design around the sides provides grip and durability while the brass body helps eliminate static electricity, allowing for more even extraction.

Features:

• The NCD features four angled slopes that efficiently, evenly and consistently move the coffee around in a circular motion to create an even puck.
• Say goodbye to cracked coffee fingers after a day of service on the espresso machine.
• This tool can even suit those using very low doses or larger baskets and can be adjusted to suit a range of doses, depending on specific roasting styles.
• No need to collapse the dose. After extensive taste testing with multiple coffees and different roasting styles, Nucleus have found any form of collapsing to stratify grinds, creating very inconsistent extraction and qualities of taste (separate to yield). Each barista will also collapse differently, creating yet another inconsistency in the cafe. The NCD takes the same time to create a more even and consistent puck, giving more consistent and delicious extractions.
• Less micro-channelling and channelling, improper or rushed distribution, is more likely to channel which can be disastrous to taste. Micro-channelling is also difficult to see at times and is more likely to happen with no distribution or inconsistent distribution – the NCD will remove this variable.
• Easily adjustable depth, simply loosen off the top section, set depth required using measured increments, tighten the top section back down.
• The NCD also features an advanced, static-reducing coating on the cross-arm base, eliminating the build-up of coffee grinds on the base.
• The black Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) coating on the base helps reduce static and retention, resulting in better coffee distribution.
• The weight has also been adjusted so it is not as top-heavy, making it a little lighter overall. This improved weight distribution ensures a lower centre of gravity when being spun. This makes the workflow easier and the distribution more consistent.
• Lightweight build
