Exclusive Subscriber Pricing We're super excited to offer this set to our subscribers at a discount and what we believe is the best rate anywhere. You'll need to log in with the sa me email that you use for your subscription to check out. If you have any trouble, just shoot us a note at [email protected]. (After you log in, you can select the NANO set.) What's included? The CORE set comes with 100ml of each of the bottles. The NANO set comes with 20ml of each of the bottles. TONIK - Designed to enhance the vibrant acidity of your coffee and willimpart a crisp, intense and juicy kick to your brew. JAMM - Designed to enhance the richness and depth of your coffee andwill accentuate the sweetness and creamy mouthfeel of your brew. LYLAC - Designed to enhance the delicate and floral characteristics of yourcoffee, ensuring an elegant, refined, and silky mouthfeel. -- KONFLUX - this is Apax's newest profile and something we are still experimenting with ourselves. It is available for purchase but at this point all of our brew recommendations will focus on the original set above. When will it ship? It will ship with your next subscription box. If you're not a subscriber, we'll ship within a week of the order date. How long will it last? We use 2ml total per liter of brew water. Most people we know use more Jamm and Tonik than Lylac. We did the math for the kind of coffees we feature and if you use Apax only for the subscription, a CORE set will last 20 months and a NANO set will last 4 months (and you'll still have some Lylac left over!). How do I know which minerals to use? Starting in February, our brew cards will include recommendations for which water recipe to use. Do I really need 3 different minerals? No—especially when adding them to water with a low-PPM baseline, such as Third Wave Water or even a lot of cities' tap water. That said, we think you'll love having all three. We’ve found that blending profiles often results in a more harmonious cup. Why we're bringing Apax to the subscription Fun fact: before Apax Lab powered 4 World and 300+ National coffee champions, The Bean Archives was actually their first-ever US stockist. Our first experience with Apax Lab was the Tonik that came together with the POMA experimental box set we got back in June 2024. It completely elevated our home brewing experience, and we've been using it ever since. Over time, we've come to appreciate how it lets us dial in specific water recipes for different coffees without going down the rabbit hole, and offered the flexibility of doing post-brew mineralization, which has been clutch for some of our Aiden brews that have a low ppm baseline made with TWW. But more than anything, this is about you, our community. The question we keep asking is: how do give our community one collective experience? And this our way of getting one step closer. Show more
