Food – everything that goes into your cup or glass

You need fresh beans for your morning espresso, mineralization drops for your brewing water, and perhaps a syrup for your Sunday latte. In the Coffee Coaching Club's food collection, you'll find everything you can consume in one place – freshly roasted coffee beans from our own roastery, water mineralization concentrates from Apax Labs, and Monin syrups and concentrates for coffee drinks and bar classics.

All products here are edible foods in the sense of the Swiss Food Law (LMG) – with clear declaration of ingredients and allergens on the product pages, fresh best-before dates, and proper storage. Shipping throughout Switzerland and to Liechtenstein in 2 to 4 business days.

The three categories in this collection

1. Coffee Beans from Our Own Roastery

Since 2025, we have been roasting our beans in our own drum roastery in Switzerland. Roast master Yalcin works as a coffee chemist and flavor developer on precise roasting profiles that deliver a clear aroma profile and consistent cup quality.

Classic Espresso Roasts:

• Cozy Chocolate – Naturally processed beans from Brazil, full body, chocolate sweetness, my all-rounder
• Nutty Delight – Blend from Brazil and India, nutty-spicy profile, forgiving on almost any machine
• Very Nutty – Strong Indian Robusta content, maximum crema and body, classic Italian profile
• Chestnut Delight – Blend with depth and warmth, chestnut aroma in the finish
• Creamy Chestnut – Roasted chestnut aroma, dense texture

Light and Fruity Roasts (Omniroast for Espresso and Filter):

• Wild Peach – Lightly roasted omniroast with peach and floral notes, ideal for PID-controlled machines
• Bright Cassis – Lively omniroast with cassis notes, fruity and clear

Additional specialties are added seasonally. All beans are roasted in small batches, with clearly marked roast dates, and packed in airtight bags with aroma valves. Tip: After opening the bag, use an Airscape container to keep the aromas fresh for weeks.

2. Mineralization Drops for Precise Brewing Water (Apax Lab)

Coffee Coaching Club is the exclusive Swiss importer of Apax Labs. Mineralization drops are added to distilled or reverse osmosis water to create precise mineral profiles for espresso or filter coffee. The result: brewing water with precisely adjusted hardness and buffering that does not distort the aromas of a bean.

• Apax Lab Box Set 3×20 ml – the three main profiles for tasting
• Apax Lab Konflux 20 ml – balanced all-round profile
• Apax Lab Jamm 20 ml – fruity profile for light roasts
• Apax Lab Lylac 20 ml – floral-accentuated profile
• Apax Lab Tonik 20 ml – strong profile for classic espressos

3. Syrups and Concentrates (Monin)

For latte macchiato, coffee drinks, iced coffees, cocktails, and bar classics. Monin has been a French syrup producer since 1912 and is established in the specialty coffee scene as the manufacturer whose syrups deliver specific aroma profiles without obtrusive artificiality.

• Monin Syrup Vanilla – Dessert aroma for lattes and cappuccinos
• Monin Syrup Caramel – Caramel charm for macchiatos and iced coffees
• Monin Syrup Crème Brûlée – Dessert flair with caramelized sugar
• Monin Syrup Chocolate Cookie – Cookie aroma for mochas and hot chocolate
• Monin Concentrate Chai Tea – Spicy chai concentrate for chai latte

Who This Collection Is For

For home baristas who want to order their recurring consumables – beans, mineralization, and possibly syrups – in one place. For cafés and restaurants that need professional quantities of our roasts and compatible bar syrups. For offices that need mineralization drops for a central espresso machine. For anyone who sees coffee enjoyment as a complete experience – bean, water, and, if applicable, flavor accents – rather than isolated components.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fresh are CCC coffee beans?

We roast in small batches in our own drum roastery. Each bag has a clearly marked roast date. Espresso develops its full aroma spectrum approximately 7 to 14 days after roasting ("degassing"). Filter coffee is usually ideal from day 4. With correct storage in an airtight container (such as Airscape), the quality remains consistent for about 4 to 6 weeks after the roast date.

Why do I need mineralization drops?

Brewing water makes up about 98% of the content of your cup – its mineralization determines how lively the aromas appear. Tap water in Bern or Zurich has a certain hardness and buffering that doesn't always perfectly match the specific roast. With Apax Lab drops, you combine distilled or osmosis water to create precisely mineralized brewing water – fruity beans benefit from Jamm, classic espressos from Tonik. More on this at Composing Coffee Water Yourself.

Are the syrups vegan or gluten-free?

Allergen and ingredient declarations can be found on the respective product page. Many Monin syrups are vegan and gluten-free – for binding information, please refer to the manufacturer's specifications per product.

Can I sample the beans before buying?

For a structured cupping with a comparison of several beans, please register in advance – Yalcin or a staff member will be happy to guide you through it.

What is the VAT treatment of food?

Everyday food items in Switzerland are subject to the reduced VAT rate of currently 2.6%. Coffee beans, syrups, and mineralization drops are taxed in this category. The breakdown of VAT can be found on your invoice.
