Apax Lab Tonik – water profile for clarity and fruitiness
A clear, crisp sip that brings out the fruity side of your bean – lively instead of flat.
Apax Lab Tonik is a mineral concentrate that emphasizes the lively character in coffee: clear acidity, juicy fruitiness, bright brilliance. It's one of several Apax profiles alongside Jamm, Lylac and Konflux.
What Tonik does
Tonik brings out fruity and clear notes – ideal for light roasts where acidity and juiciness should stand out. Minerals guide the extraction: they bind and emphasize the organic acids that make a coffee taste lively.
Use
A few drops go directly into the cup, or you mix around 3 to 4 grams of concentrate per liter into demineralized water. Recipes and a calculator are available from Apax Lab.
Apax Lab makes its concentrates from demineralized water and analytical-grade reagents. Our opinion is one of many.

Roastery tip
Profile meets bean: with a clear, fruity profile, our Wild Peach shows its peach note, while a body-focused profile makes our Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight even rounder. For maximum body, the Very Nutty. That's our recommendation, one of many.
