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.
pH, measured by an independent lab
5.4 to 5.8

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.

More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, reflux, or stomach discomfort after coffee. Many assume the problem is acidity, but that is not the full story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that contribute to flavor and aroma. The real irritant is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds occur naturally and can rise significantly during drum roasting.
Most coffee roasters use drum roasters, where beans come into contact with hot metal. We take a different approach. Our patented convection roasting system uses a stream of hot air, so the beans never touch steel. This process ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a clean, flavorful coffee that is easy to drink and gentle on your stomach.
If you are skeptical, that is understandable. There is a lot of confusing information about coffee and acidity. Our method 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 contribute to both bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.
Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. Try it for yourself and see why so many customers call Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ the smoothest and most enjoyable coffee they have ever had. Order a 5lb bag of Half Caff Fresh Ground today and enjoy coffee that tastes great and feels even better.
