Three profiles in one box Water is the largest single ingredient in a cup of coffee, and the minerals dissolved in it change both how the coffee extracts and how the result is perceived. The APAX LAB Box Set gives you three different mineral compositions rather than one fixed recipe, which makes it as useful for learning as it is for dialling in a specific coffee. The concentrates contain no flavourings. They only supply minerals that occur naturally in water, in controlled proportions. What each concentrate does Concentrate Profile Typically used with TONIK Vibrant, crisp, juicy. Emphasises acidity. Washed coffees, Ethiopian and Kenyan lots, floral varieties such as Gesha and Sidra JAMM Rich, sweet, creamy. Leans on calcium and bicarbonate. Naturals and fermented processing, coffees where you want more depth and mouthfeel LYLAC Elegant, floral, silky. Built around sulfate and potassium. Delicate coffees where clarity and aromatic lift matter more than body How to use them Shake the bottle before use. For brew water, dose 3 to 4 g per litre of demineralised water. Demineralised or very low ppm water is recommended, since starting from near zero is what gives you control over the final composition. You can also skip the water building and add 1 to 10 drops straight into a brewed 200 ml cup, which is a quick way to taste the difference between the three profiles side by side. Work in small increments. The effect of a single drop is noticeable, so adjust and taste rather than making large jumps. Choosing between 20 ml and 100 ml The 20 ml set holds roughly 30 brews per bottle and is the practical choice for trying the range, for travel, or for training and cupping sessions. The 100 ml set holds roughly 150 brews per bottle and suits daily home use or a café that has already settled on how it wants to use them. Composition TONIK Water, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, potassium bicarbonate JAMM Water, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate LYLAC Water, magnesium sulfate, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium chloride Mineral grade Analytical reagent (AR) grade What's in the box 1 × TONIK mineral concentrate 1 × JAMM mineral concentrate 1 × LYLAC mineral concentrate Individual tuck boxes and outer box https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4lTIkGJ1-c

Kaffebox APAX LAB TDS Meter
308 NOK
What it actually measures A TDS meter passes a small current between two electrodes and measures how easily the water conducts it. Dissolved minerals carry charge, so more minerals means higher conductivity, and the meter converts that into a parts per million figure. The important consequence is that it tells you how much is dissolved, not what. It cannot distinguish calcium from sodium, or hardness from alkalinity. Two waters reading 80 ppm can taste completely different in coffee if one is mostly bicarbonate and the other mostly magnesium. This is a quantity check, not a composition analysis. Where it earns its place in a water workflow If you build brew water from mineral concentrates, the meter answers the two questions that actually cause problems. First, is my base water really at zero? Filtered or distilled water drifts as a filter approaches the end of its life, and a base sitting at 15 ppm instead of 000 quietly shifts every recipe you mix on top of it. Second, did I dose what I think I dosed? A recipe targeting a known ppm gives you a number to check against, so a mis-measured dose shows up before you brew rather than after. It is also the simplest way to find out what your tap water is doing, which is worth knowing even if you have no intention of building water from scratch. Not a refractometer This is a common mix-up worth being clear about. A TDS meter measures dissolved solids in water, before brewing. A refractometer measures dissolved coffee solids in a finished brew, which is what you use to calculate extraction yield. They sound similar and do entirely different jobs. If you are trying to work out your extraction percentage, this is not the tool. Why won't this work to measure disolved coffee solids? Coffee's dissolved solids are mostly uncharged. What's actually in the cup is largely melanoidins, polysaccharides, caffeine, lipids and other organic compounds, none of which carry a charge in solution. They contribute essentially nothing to conductivity. The parts of coffee that do conduct are the mineral ions, potassium above all, plus the partially dissociated organic acids like chlorogenic and citric. That's a real but small and variable fraction of the total. So the meter is blind to most of the mass it's supposed to be measuring, and the ratio between the ionic fraction and the total shifts with roast level, origin, processing and brew method. There's no stable conversion to fall back on. The conversion factor is calibrated for something else entirely. TDS pens derive ppm from conductivity using a factor based on a reference salt solution, typically sodium chloride or the "442" mix. That's a reasonable model for tap water. It bears no relationship to the chemistry of brewed coffee, so even the ionic portion gets converted using the wrong assumption. The range problem is more immediate. Filter coffee lands around 1.35 percent TDS, which is roughly 13,500 ppm. The Apax meter tops out at 9,990. Espresso runs somewhere around 8...
Kaffebox APAX LAB Konflux Mineral Concentrate
308 NOK
A profile built for texture Most mineral recipes for coffee lean on magnesium, which tends to push extraction and brightness. KONFLUX leaves magnesium out entirely. Instead it uses calcium, potassium, sodium and silica, and is aimed at the part of the cup that recipes usually treat as a side effect: how the coffee feels. Apax describes the intended result as a rounder, more coating texture with more apparent sweetness, without lifting acidity or changing the coffee's flavour identity. In practice it's the concentrate to reach for when a coffee tastes clean and correct but thin. The quartz question The silica in KONFLUX comes from fine-ground quartz. Apax's stated reasoning is that quartz carries no electrical charge, so unlike calcium and magnesium it does not drive extraction in the usual way. Its role is to raise perceived viscosity rather than to change what gets dissolved out of the grounds. This is the manufacturer's account of the mechanism rather than an independently established one, and it is worth tasting for yourself before repeating the claim to customers. How it fits alongside TONIK, JAMM and LYLAC Concentrate What it targets Magnesium TONIK Acidity, crispness, juiciness Yes JAMM Richness, depth, creamy mouthfeel Yes LYLAC Floral aromatics, clarity, silky texture Yes KONFLUX Body, coating texture, sweetness No JAMM is the closest neighbour, but it works through calcium and bicarbonate to build richness and depth. KONFLUX is narrower in what it does and more focused on tactile weight. If you already have the box set, KONFLUX is the addition that covers ground the other three don't. How to use it Shake the bottle before use. For brew water, dose 3 to 4 g per litre of demineralised water. Demineralised or very low ppm water is recommended, since starting from near zero is what gives you control over the final composition. You can also add 1 to 10 drops straight into a brewed 200 ml cup, which is the fastest way to judge what it does to a coffee you already know. Adjust in small steps. A single drop is noticeable, so taste as you go rather than making large jumps. Background KONFLUX started as a limited-edition profile for the 2025 World Brewers Cup and was refined through a season of competition use before general release in early 2026. In April 2026 it won the SCA Best New Product award in the Specialty Coffee Consumables category at World of Coffee San Diego, entered by Apax's US distributor Slow Pour Supply. Specifications Sizes 20 ml NANO, 100 ml Yield Approx. 30 brews (20 ml), approx. 150 brews (100 ml) Dosing 3 to 4 g/l in brew water, or 1 to 10 drops per 200 ml cup Ingredients Water, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, silica, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate Mineral grade Analytical reagent (AR) grade Made in Australia
Kaffebox APAX LAB x TANAT Lucid 2.1 Mineral Concentrate
454 NOK
TANAT is a Paris roaster with a light, transparency-focused roasting style. Lucid 2.1 was developed with APAX LAB as a water profile matched to that style: rather than adding weight or sweetness, it is built to sharpen definition and let origin character separate out clearly in the cup. What the profile is aimed at APAX describe the target as clarity and separation of flavour, a precise aftertaste, and a bright, lifted cup. In practice that makes it a better match for washed and light-roasted coffees, where the point is articulation rather than body. If your coffee is already delicate and you want more of it, this is the direction. If it tastes thin and you want weight, KONFLUX or JAMM are the relevant profiles instead. How it differs from the core APAX range Two things stand out. First, it is a finished recipe rather than a building block: there is nothing to blend, only a dose to set. Second, the formulation is magnesium-led and includes magnesium sulfate and magnesium citrate, with no calcium salt in the ingredient list. Sulfate is generally associated with perceived brightness and aroma separation, which lines up with what the profile is aiming at. It also explains the lower dose rate: 1.5 to 2.5 g/L here against 3 to 4 g/L for the core concentrates. How to use it Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Either dose 1.5 to 2.5 g per litre of distilled or demineralised water for a full brew setup, or add 1 to 2 drops directly into a finished 200 mL cup, which is the easiest way to taste the effect side by side against an untreated brew. APAX state the concentrate is not intended for direct consumption in undiluted form, and that it should not be used inside espresso machines. Dosing into the cup after extraction is fine; putting mineral-loaded water through a boiler is not. Specifications Volume 20 mL Format Liquid mineral concentrate, dropper bottle Profile type Fixed single profile (not blendable / modular) Dosage in brew water 1.5 to 2.5 g/L Dosage in cup 1 to 2 drops per 200 mL Recommended base water Distilled or demineralised Ingredients Water, magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, magnesium citrate, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate Mineral grade Analytical reagent (AR) grade, in demineralised water Origin Made in Australia Restrictions Not for use inside espresso machines What's in the box 1 × 20 mL bottle of APAX LAB x TANAT Lucid 2.1 mineral concentrate
