Apax Lab Box Set 100 ml – Three Water Profiles for Everyday Use
Same bean, same machine, same settings – and yet every cup tastes different, depending on the water underneath.
The Apax Lab Box Set 100 ml bundles the three mineral concentrates Tonik, Jamm and Lylac in the large bottle – enough for around 150 brews per bottle. It lets you build your own brew water and decide whether your coffee turns out clear and fruity, round and sweet, or delicate and floral.
Three Profiles, Three Directions
Tonik emphasises the lively character – clear, crisp, fruity. Jamm brings fullness and sweetness, a creamy mouthfeel. Lylac highlights delicate, floral notes with a silky finish. Water is the solvent of extraction: minerals such as magnesium emphasise fruity and floral aromas, calcium adds body, bicarbonate brings balance. You decide the direction.
Larger Bottle for Everyday Use
These 100 ml bottles are the large version of the Apax Lab Box Set. Want to get to know the three profiles first? The compact Apax Lab Box Set 3x20 ml with around 30 brews per bottle is the easier way in. If water is already a regular part of your brewing routine, the 100 ml version lasts much longer.
How to Use
Add a few drops directly to the cup, or mix around 3 to 4 grams of concentrate per litre into demineralised water. Each 100 ml bottle is good for around 150 brews. Recipes and a calculator are available from Apax Lab. You can also mix the profiles to find your own recipe. There's no right or wrong – the coffee just has to taste good to you.
Apax Lab makes its concentrates from demineralised water and analytical-grade reagents. Our opinion is just one of many.

What Goes With It
Water is the foundation: we show you how to compose it yourself on the page Composing Your Own Coffee Water. As a pure starting base, demineralised or filtered water works well – find filters in the Brita collection. For measuring, the Apax Lab TDS Meter is a good match. For a compact way in, there's the Apax Lab Box Set 3x20 ml. And the profile only really unfolds with fresh coffee from our coffee beans.

Roastery Tip
Profile meets bean: a clear, fruity profile brings out the peach note in our Wild Peach, a body-forward profile makes our Cozy Chocolate or Nutty Delight even rounder. For maximum body, try the Very Nutty. That's our recommendation – one of many.
