APAX LAB x Motors Mineral Concentrate
Product details
A single-profile mineral concentrate developed with Motors, the Paris café known for serving bright, expressive coffees from roasters around the world. Like the other APAX LAB collaborations, it is a finished recipe rather than a blendable concentrate: one bottle, one profile, aimed at clarity, origin character and floral notes.
The recipe is built on magnesium, potassium and sodium salts with no calcium at all, which sets it apart from the APAX LAB x Némo Pop concentrate, whose recipe includes calcium chloride and targets a heavier body.
- Volume: 20 mL
- Type: Fixed profile, not a blendable concentrate
- Profile: Clarity, florals and origin character
- Dosing: 3 to 4 g/L in brew water, or 1 to 10 drops per 200 mL cup
- Base water: Demineralised water recommended
- Made in: Australia

What the profile is aimed at
APAX describe this as a recipe that lets the coffee’s origin come through: more clarity, more terroir and lifted floral notes. It suits the kind of light, expressive filter coffees Motors is known for, and it can be used for espresso as well.
How it compares with the Némo Pop collaboration
Both are fixed profiles in 20 mL bottles, dosed the same way. The difference is in the minerals. The Némo Pop recipe includes calcium chloride and is aimed at a sweet, heavy-bodied cup for AeroPress. The Motors recipe has no calcium: its hardness comes from magnesium chloride, citrate and sulfate, with potassium and sodium salts for buffering. For a brighter, more transparent cup from light roasts, Motors is the one to try; for body, the Némo Pop. If you would rather build your own water, the modular APAX LAB Box Set is the place to start.
How to use it
Shake the bottle well before use. Add 3 to 4 g of concentrate per litre of demineralised water, or add 1 to 10 drops straight into a 200 mL cup to taste the effect side by side. Starting from water with nothing in it keeps the recipe as intended, and a filter jug such as the ZeroWater 1.7l Water Filtration Jug brings tap water down to near zero TDS.
