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.

  1. 1
    100% organic Arabica. Arabica beans naturally carry lower CGA levels than Robusta.
  2. 2
    Convection roasted. Hot air heats each bean evenly from skin to core.
  3. 3
    A slower, lower-temperature finish. It reduces CGAs further without over-darkening the beans.
  4. 4
    Independent testing. Third-party labs test for pH, chlorogenic acids, pesticides, mycotoxins and heavy metals.

FAQ

Questions about this coffee

How many single-serve cups come in a box?

Each box holds 12 single-serve cups. You can also buy a 3-pack of 36 cups or a 6-pack of 72 cups, which cost less per cup than single boxes. Every roast and flavor uses these same box sizes. Browse all of them in our single-serve pods collection.

What beans are in the French Roast, and how does it taste?

Full and chocolatey, with no burnt or bitter notes. The French Roast is a blend of 100% organic Arabica: 50% Chiapas (brown sugar, pear, nutty finish), 25% Nicaragua (chocolate, nuts, vanilla, a hint of lemon) and 25% Honduras (chocolate, vanilla, hazelnut). The 12 oz bags, 5 lb bags and single-serve cups use this blend. See every format in the French Roast collection.

Are the single-serve cups the same coffee as your bags?

Yes. Our single-serve cups hold the same organic blends we sell in whole bean and fresh ground bags. The French Roast, Rise & Shine, Half Caff and Decaf cups match those roasts, so if you like a bag, the matching cup should taste familiar. The flavored cups add caramel, chocolate, hazelnut or vanilla flavor.

Will your single-serve cups work in my Keurig?

Yes. Our single-serve cups are made for Keurig-style brewers and work in most Keurig 2.0 models. If your machine only accepts its own brand's pods, check its manual or email hello@lowacidcoffee.com with your model before you order. Keurig is a trademark of its owner, and Alex's is not affiliated with Keurig. Shop single-serve cups

What makes Alex's coffee low acid?

The beans and the roast. We start with organic Arabica, roast it with hot air convection and hold the final stage longer at a lower temperature. That slower finish reduces chlorogenic acids (CGAs), naturally occurring acids in coffee, without over-darkening the beans. An independent lab then measured pH and CGAs in our four core roasts. See the lab results

How much do I save with Subscribe & Save?

It depends on the product and pack size. A single 12 oz bag on subscription is 10% off its one-time price, and 3- and 6-bag subscriptions save more compared with buying single bags. Steep bag boxes are 20% off, 5 lb bags 15% off and variety packs 20% off their one-time prices. Single steep bags aren't available on subscription. The product page shows the exact price.

Description

If you love coffee but it doesn’t always love you back, Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ French Roast Single Serve Cups let you enjoy a bold, full-bodied cup that is gentle on your stomach and smooth to the last sip. It is perfect for anyone who is sensitive to acidity or wants a rich, satisfying coffee that is easy to make.

More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach discomfort. Many believe the issue stems from pH levels, but that is not the whole story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that contribute to its flavor and aroma. The real cause of upper GI distress is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds can occur naturally and increase significantly during drum roasting.

Almost every coffee roaster uses a drum roaster, in which beans come into contact with hot metal. We created a better way. Our patented convection roasting system uses a bed of hot air, so the beans never come into contact with steel. This method allows for an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, flavorful, and easy-to-drink coffee that is gentle on your stomach.

If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is a lot of confusing information about coffee and acidity. Our process is supported by research from Dr. Taka Shibamoto, Distinguished Professor of Environmental Toxicology and Director of the UC Davis Coffee Center. His studies show that high levels of Chlorogenic Acid lead to bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.

Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. Our French Roast Single Serve Cups feature the same premium blend as our Fresh Ground French Roast, crafted from 100 percent USDA Organic coffee beans:

  • 50% Chiapas — grown in southern Mexico near the Guatemalan border. These beans share the same volcanic soil and high altitude qualities as Guatemalan coffees. They are mild and delicate, with sweet notes of brown sugar and pear, and a nutty finish.
  • 25% Nicaragua — balanced and smooth, with subtle complexity and flavors of chocolate, nuts, vanilla, and a light touch of lemon.
  • 25% Honduras — mild, rounded, and universally appealing, with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut.

Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ French Roast Single Serve Cups are everything good coffee should be: rich, bold, and aromatic, yet never acidic or bitter. Enjoy the deep flavor of French Roast with the convenience of Single Serve Cups and the comfort of low acid. Satisfaction guaranteed.
