Why Water Matters

Did you know coffee is made of 98% water?

We believe water is one of the most important and impactful variables when it comes to unlocking the best flavours of your coffee.

Minerals in water change how we taste clarity, sweetness, and balance. Control the water, and you control the cup.

How to use our products - FAQs

1
Do your concentrates add artificial flavours to coffee?

Our mineral concentrates do not contain any flavouring, but they contribute to the taste balance and mouthfeel. Minerals impact how we perceive the flavours of coffee by emphasising the natural positive characteristics of each coffee.

We view minerals in coffee similarly to seasoning for food; they are designed to enhance what's already good about a dish or coffee. Therefore, we refer to our concentrates as "seasoning for coffee."

2
Can I use these minerals for any type of coffee I make?

Yes! APAX LAB mineral concentrates are versatile and designed to enhance certain attributes of coffee. They can be applied to any type of coffee in various ways. These concentrates pair well with filter coffee, espresso, and all milk-based coffees.

3
Can I blend the different profiles of mineral concentrates?

Each profile of mineral concentrates will elevate a brew on its own, but they have also been formulated to be blended together to achieve more specific results. You are welcome to experience different blend ratios based on your preferences, or you can refer to our recipe guide to start with our team’s recommended guidelines.

4
What water base should I use the minerals with?

We generally recommend using demineralised water to control the mineral content of your brew water and ensure consistency.

However, access to demineralised water isn’t always easy. In that case, we suggest using a soft water base (ideally under 30ppm) and considering that mineral content when remineralising your water.

Example: If you’re using water at 60 ppm, use only 1 to 2 g of APAX LAB per litre of water to reach the target of 90 to 120 ppm.
