APAX LAB developed this mineral concentrate with specific challenge in mind: a profile that supports light roasts rather than working against them. The result is a cup with more brightness, better structure, and a clearer read on what the coffee is actually trying to say.
A Collaboration with MOK Coffee
This profile was created with MOK Coffee, a specialty roaster based in Brussels known for expressive light roasts and clean, precise flavor profiles. APAX LAB worked directly with MOK to build a mineral composition suited to the roasts MOK is known for: coffees where clarity and origin expression matter more than heavy body or roast character.
The goal was balance. Light roasts can taste thin or sharp when the water chemistry isn't dialed in, and they can taste flat when it's ignored altogether. This concentrate is formulated to sit in between, adding lift and structure without masking what the coffee already does well.
What This Profile Brings
- Brightness and lift: A more vibrant, lifted cup profile that lets acidity and florals come through cleanly.
- Balance and structure: Improved overall balance, with more definition between the coffee's different flavor layers.
- Texture and mouthfeel: Added body and mouthfeel, so a delicate cup doesn't taste thin.
How to Use
Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Add 3 to 4g/L of mineral concentrate directly into your brew water, or add 1 to 10 drops directly into a 200mL cup of coffee, adjusting to taste. For the most control over remineralization, use demineralized water as your base.
