Apax Lab Box Set

Apax Lab Box Set – Your laboratory for taste experiments

Imagine this: You're sitting at the kitchen table on a Sunday morning. In front of you are three cups of coffee. All three ground from the same beans. By the same machine. With the same settings.

But they taste completely different.

Cup 1: Crisp, lively, fruity – like biting into a ripe peach.

Cup 2: Creamy, sweet, velvety – like liquid chocolate.

Cup 3: Elegant, floral, delicate – like a flower meadow in spring.

The secret? Water. Coffee consists largely of water – and the minerals in it determine whether your coffee tastes flat or brilliant. Whether it's boring or unforgettable.

The Apax Lab Box Set is your building block for perfect taste. It contains the three signature profiles Tonik , Jamm and Lylac – developed by world barista champions, tested in hundreds of competitions, perfected for your kitchen table.

This means you're no longer dependent on tap water. You create your own water – perfectly tailored to your coffee bean, your taste, your moment. As the exclusive Swiss importer, we bring this tool of world champions directly to you.

The chemist's perspective: Minerals are flavor carriers ⚗️

Your workflow: Mixing like a world barista champion

Don't worry – you don't need a chemistry degree. It's easy to use. We'll show you two ways.

Method 1 : You add the drops to your coffee (espresso, filter, flat white,...) after extraction.

Or option 2 :

1. Create a foundation:
   Use distilled or reverse osmosis water (0 ppm). You can find it in the supermarket (distilled water for irons) or use a water filter . This is your blank canvas – zero minerals, ready for your creation.
   
   
2. Dosage (The experiment begins):
   Add the drops to your water according to the recipe (see Apax Lab app or instructions). Each profile has different goals:
   
   
   • Tonic : For vibrancy and clarity – maximum fruitiness, lively acidity, brilliant brightness. Perfect for light roasts like our Wild Peach .
   • Jam : For sweetness and body – creamy texture, smooth mouthfeel, maximum chocolateiness. Perfect for darker roasts like our Nutty Delight or Cozy Chocolate .
   • Lylac : For floral elegance – subtle aromas, silky mouthfeel, long finishes. Perfect for complex Ethiopian wines or geishas.
     
     
3. Brewing (The moment of truth):
   Prepare your coffee as usual – espresso, pour-over, French press, it doesn't matter. But now with your own homemade water. You drink it. And you realize: This is different. This is better. This is more.
   
   
4. Experimenting (The fun begins):
   Mix the profiles. 70% jam + 30% tonic? Why not. 50/50 Lylac and tonic? Go for it. This is your lab. You're the scientist. Find out what you love.

Who is the Apax Lab Box Set right for?

You don't need this set. Tap water works too – sort of.

But treat yourself to the set if:

You enjoy experimenting . You want to understand how water changes the taste. You don't just drink coffee, you experience it. The Box Set is your laboratory – three profiles, endless possibilities.

You're buying premium beans . If you're spending 30+ CHF on 250g of coffee, these beans deserve perfect water. Anything else is a waste. The set costs the same as two bags of coffee – but it improves every single cup of coffee you ever drink.

You've had inconsistent results . Sometimes your coffee tastes brilliant, sometimes bland? That's sometimes the water. With this set, you're in control – consistent taste, every day.

Or maybe you simply want it because you're curious. Because you want to understand what world barista champions know. Because the set is a gift to yourself – a tool that makes every morning better.

That's reason enough.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Apax Lab Box Set

Do I really need distilled water?

Yes. Apax Lab profiles are precisely dosed – they only work with a clean base (0 ppm). Tap water already contains minerals – adding Apax Lab to it will create too much.

How long does a bottle last?

Each 30ml bottle is sufficient for approximately 30-40 liters of water (depending on dosage). If you drink two coffees a day (each with 300ml of water), the set will last approximately 3-4 months.

Which profile is best for which coffee?

Tonik for light, fruity roasts. Jam for dark, chocolatey roasts. Lylac for complex, floral coffees. But the best part? Experiment. Mix them. Find out what you love.

Does it work with every machine?

Yes. Espresso machine, pour-over, French press, AeroPress – it doesn't matter. Water is water. The set improves everything.

Is this set a good gift?

Absolutely. This is the perfect gift for any coffee nerd. It looks great, it works brilliantly, and it opens up a whole new world of flavor. Better than any machine or grinder – because it improves on everything you already have.

Roastery tip: Start with our Wild Peach and Tonic . Brew a V60. The peach notes will be so clear you'll think we used syrup. Then try the same coffee with Jamm —suddenly it's creamier, sweeter, rounder. The same coffee, fundamentally different. That's the moment you understand: water is the missing puzzle piece. That's why you need the set.
