{"product_id":"apax-lab-konflux-water-minerals-coffee","title":"APAX Lab KONFLUX Water Minerals for Coffee","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eAPAX Lab KONFLUX [K] is a liquid water-mineral concentrate formulated to enhance mouthfeel, depth, and sweetness in brewed coffee. Developed as a competition-grade profile and recognized with the 2026 World of Coffee Best New Product Award in the consumable category, KONFLUX adds a smooth, coating texture to the cup without masking flavor. It is available in 20 ml (approximately 30 brews) and 100 ml (approximately 150 brews) sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompetition-Proven Texture in Every Brew\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKONFLUX was originally created as a limited-edition mineral profile for the 2025 World Brewers Cup, where it proved itself under competition conditions. Since then it has supported winning routines at the Australian national level and the World AeroPress Championship. That track record matters for buyers who want a mineral profile that has been stress-tested in high-stakes environments, not just developed in a lab. When a recipe depends on consistent tactile results, KONFLUX has a documented history of delivering them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRounder, Smoother Cups Without Sacrificing Clarity\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKONFLUX is formulated to enhance perceived mouthfeel and depth, elevate sweetness, and create a smooth, round, coating texture, all without masking the coffee's inherent flavor clarity. For coffees that taste clean and expressive but feel thin or lack body, a few drops of KONFLUX can close that gap. The result is a cup that feels rounder and more indulgent while keeping the flavor profile intact, which is particularly useful for lighter roasts or delicate single-origins that read bright but not substantial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePractical at Any Scale\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKONFLUX is a liquid concentrate dosed a few drops at a time, making it straightforward to use whether you are dialing in a single V60 at home or running a café service. The 20 ml bottle covers approximately 30 brews, making it a low-commitment way to trial the profile. The 100 ml bottle covers approximately 150 brews and is the more practical choice for regular use or café settings. Both sizes share the same formulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2026 World of Coffee Best New Product Award:\u003c\/strong\u003e recognized for outstanding innovation in the specialty coffee consumable category.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompetition-grade profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e used in winning routines at the 2025 World Brewers Cup, Australian national championships, and the World AeroPress Championship.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMouthfeel and depth enhancement:\u003c\/strong\u003e formulated to add a smooth, round, coating texture and elevate perceived sweetness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor-transparent formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances tactile experience without masking clarity or flavor expression.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLiquid concentrate:\u003c\/strong\u003e a few drops per brew; no mixing or dissolving required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003e20 ml\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003e100 ml\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVolume\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e20 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eApproximate yield\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e≈30 brews\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e≈150 brews\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIngredients\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eWater, calcium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, silica, potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFormat\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd colspan=\"2\"\u003eLiquid concentrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eKONFLUX suits baristas, home brewers, and café operators who want to add body, mouthfeel, and sweetness to coffees that taste clean but feel thin or lack tactile intensity.

The 20 ml bottle is rated for approximately 30 brews and the 100 ml bottle for approximately 150 brews, which works out to roughly 0.65 ml per brew as a reference point. Exact dosing can be adjusted to taste; a user guide is available from APAX Lab for detailed instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does KONFLUX actually change about the cup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eAPAX Lab formulated KONFLUX to enhance mouthfeel and perceived depth, elevate sweetness, and create a smooth, round, coating texture.
