Why low acid
Smooth by design, measured by a lab
Coffee's acidity comes from many compounds. Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) are among the ones that shape the sharp, bitter edge in a cup, and roasting time and temperature decide how much of them is left.
- 1100% organic Arabica. Arabica beans naturally carry lower CGA levels than Robusta.
- 2Convection roasted. Hot air heats each bean evenly from skin to core.
- 3A slower, lower-temperature finish. It reduces CGAs further without over-darkening the beans.
- 4Independent testing. Third-party labs test for pH, chlorogenic acids, pesticides, mycotoxins and heavy metals.

How to brew
Ready for your brewer
- Measure. Start with 15g, about 2 tablespoons, per 8 fl oz of water.
- Brew. Drip, pour-over or French press. Use water just off the boil, about 195 to 205°F.
- Adjust. More coffee for a bolder cup, less for a lighter one.
- Store well. Reseal the bag and keep it cool and away from light.

Description
If you love coffee but it doesn’t always love you back, Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ Half Caff lets you enjoy a smooth, flavorful cup with half the caffeine and none of the discomfort. It is perfect for anyone who wants the taste and aroma of real coffee with less caffeine and low acidity. Satisfaction guaranteed.
Alex’s Low Acid Half Caff offers about 50 milligrams of caffeine per serving, roughly half that of a standard cup, while keeping the same rich and balanced taste. This smooth and earthy blend delivers notes of dark chocolate, plum, and manzanita honey, creating a full-bodied coffee that feels indulgent any time of day.
More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach discomfort after drinking coffee. Many believe the issue comes from pH level, but that is not the full story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that contribute to flavor and aroma. The actual cause of upper GI distress is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds occur naturally in coffee and can rise significantly during drum roasting.
Most coffee roasters use drum roasters, where beans come into contact with hot metal. We take a better approach. Our patented convection roasting system uses a bed of hot air, so the beans never come into contact with steel. This method creates a precise, even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, rich coffee that is gentle on your stomach.
If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is plenty of conflicting information about coffee and acidity. Our process is supported by research from Dr. Taka Shibamoto, Distinguished Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the UC Davis Coffee Center. His studies show that high levels of Chlorogenic Acid contribute to both bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.
Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. Taste the difference yourself. Order a bag of Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ Half Caff and enjoy coffee that is smooth, balanced, and easy to drink, with just the right amount of caffeine.
