Why Water for Coffee Matters

Did you know coffee is made of 98% water?

We believe water is one of the most important and impactful variables when it comes to unlocking the best flavours of your coffee.

Minerals in water change how we taste clarity, sweetness, and balance. Control the water, and you control the cup.

Feeling overwhelmed by all the water science?

We’ve got you!

We’ve done all the hard work for you, and designed our mineral concentrates to be instinctively simple to tune your water to the perfect balance!

We think about our minerals like food seasoning:

  • Your coffee lacks some brightness and acidity? Add a couple drops of TONIK.

  • Feel like increasing roundness and sweetness? Add a couple drops of JAMM.

  • Your coffee would shine with more floral notes and a silky texture? Add a couple drops of LYLAC.
