This listing is the 100 ml bottle (~150 brews per bottle); a smaller 20 ml / "NANO" size (~30 brews, SKU KONFLUX-NANO) also exists on the source site. Made from demineralised water and analytical reagent grade minerals. Usage: shake well, then add 3-4 g/L to your brew water, or dose 1-10 drops directly into a 200 ml cup. Demineralised water recommended for full control.

Mouthfeel · Depth · Sweetness
Great coffee is dialled in.
Great texture is added.
KONFLUX is the one concentrate APAX LAB built for feel. Where the signature profiles steer flavour, KONFLUX works on body. It pulls out sweetness, weight and a coating, silky texture that makes a cup feel finished. Indulgence, a few drops at a time.
One concentrate, three sensations
Built for the
way coffee feels.
KONFLUX was developed for the 2025 World Brewers Cup and named SCA Best New Product 2026. It is built with one job in mind: it gives coffee body.
Lifts perceived sweetness and weight, so even a lighter roast lands with more richness on the palate.
Rounds sharp edges and knits acidity, body and finish together into one balanced, seamless cup.
Adds a coating, silky texture and real depth. Indulgence in the mouthfeel without muddying clarity.
What's inside
Pure minerals, nothing else.
KONFLUX is built from demineralised water and analytical reagent grade minerals, a clean, food-safe blend with no flavourings, sugars or additives.
How to use
Three steps
to more body.
Start from demineralised or soft water so nothing competes with the texture you are building.
Shake
Shake the bottle well so the mineral blend is evenly distributed before you dose.
Dose
Add 3 to 4 g/L to your brew water, or 1 to 10 drops straight into a 200 ml cup, to taste.
Taste & repeat
Note how body and sweetness shifted, adjust the drops, and lock in a recipe you can pour again and again.
What does a single mineral concentrate do in brewing water?
A single mineral concentrate shifts brewing water in one particular direction instead of building it from scratch. The starting point is demineralised or soft water that brings hardly any minerals of its own. A few drops of concentrate add exactly the minerals that extract certain compounds from the ground coffee during brewing and shape how they come across in the cup. Calcium works on body and sweetness, while bicarbonate buffers acidity so the coffee does not taste sharp. Because only one variable changes, the effect is easy to taste and to repeat. APAX LAB KONFLUX is such a single concentrate. Among other minerals it contains calcium chloride, potassium chloride and potassium bicarbonate, and it is designed for mouthfeel, depth and sweetness. The dosage is 3 to 4 g per litre of brewing water or 1 to 10 drops per 200 ml. One 100 ml bottle lasts for about 150 brews. KONFLUX was named SCA Best New Product 2026 in the Coffee Consumables category.
KONFLUX or Box Set: one direction or three
Both products come from APAX LAB and are dosed the same way. KONFLUX focuses on mouthfeel, while the APAX LAB Box Set covers three flavour directions with TONIK, JAMM and LYLAC. The values come from the details lists of both product pages.
| Product | Contents | Size | Yield | Dosage | Base water | Effect in the cup |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| APAX LAB Box Set | TONIK, JAMM and LYLAC | 3 × 100 ml | approx. 150 brews per bottle | 3 to 4 g/L or 1 to 10 drops per 200 ml | demineralised or soft, under 30 ppm | acidity, sweetness or clarity, depending on the concentrate |
| APAX LAB KONFLUX | one concentrate | 100 ml | approx. 150 brews per bottle | 3 to 4 g/L or 1 to 10 drops per 200 ml | demineralised or soft | mouthfeel, depth and sweetness |
How to test what water does
Water is one of several variables. To really taste what a concentrate does, keep everything else constant: the same beans, the same grind size and the same recipe, for example with the Graycano Dripper and the Filter GC01. Then brew two cups with different water and taste them side by side. You can record the recipe and your impressions of both brews in the Brew Lab.
