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

What is in the Perfectly Prepared Host cup pack?

24 single-serve cups: 12 French Roast and 12 Decaf. It is built for entertaining, so guests can choose regular or decaf after dinner. The French Roast is full and chocolatey; the Decaf is mild, with brown sugar and pear notes. Hosting often? The same pairing comes as two 5 lb bags.

Is your decaf coffee completely caffeine free?

No. The Mountain Water Process removes most of the caffeine without chemical solvents, but a small amount remains, as with any decaf. We don't publish an exact milligram figure for our Decaf. If you need to keep caffeine as low as possible for a medical reason, check with your clinician, and email hello@lowacidcoffee.com if you have a question about a specific product.

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

How is your decaf decaffeinated? Is it Swiss Water?

Our Decaf uses the Mountain Water Process, not the Swiss Water Process. It removes caffeine without chemical solvents, and the beans are 100% organic Arabica from Chiapas, Mexico. Like all decaf, it still contains a small amount of caffeine. Decaf comes in 12 oz and 5 lb bags, single-serve cups and steep bags. Shop Decaf

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

Do you offer free shipping?

Yes, on orders of $50 or more after discounts, shipped within the contiguous United States. Gift cards don't count toward the $50. Orders to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and international addresses aren't eligible for free shipping and are priced by weight and destination at checkout. Read the shipping policy

Description

Do you love coffee, but cannot handle the acid? Over 30% of the coffee-drinking public experiences upper gastrointestinal distress when drinking coffee. These symptoms can manifest as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, sour stomach, and GERD. The assumption has been that Ph level has much to do with these symptoms. This is misleading and in most cases, incorrect.

Our low-acid coffee is now available in the convenience of single-serve cups! Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ Single Serve Cups are compatible with your Keurig-style single-serve brewing system and most Keurig 2.0 models. Your time is precious, and so are these beans! These time-saving, single-serve cups contain the same rich and smooth low-acid blends already offered in whole bean and fresh ground bags. Your schedule, tummy, and tastebuds will be delighted.

Our Perfectly Prepared Host Single Serve Cups Variety Pack is the ultimate solution for entertaining guests, no matter their after-dinner caffeine preference. It includes 12 single-serve cups of each of the following:

  • Alex's Low-Acid Organic French Roast Coffee™ Single Serve Cups offer a special blend of three highly sought-after beans (50% Chiapas, 25% Nicaragua, 25% Honduras) and is mild, delicate, and balanced. It is perfectly roasted to a medium-leaning dark, almost French, Roast. It is dark enough to have a full body and chocolatey personality, but there is no burnt or bitter taste. Instead, the flavors in these beans are still detectable, and that is a great thing!
  • Alex's Low-Acid Organic Decaf Coffee™ Single Serve Cups contain 100% pure Chiapas coffee beans. Grown in southern Mexico, near the border with Guatemala, Chiapas coffee beans have the same characteristics of Guatemalan beans that you would expect from the volcanic soil and high altitude they grow in. They are mild and delicate, with slightly sweet notes of brown sugar and pear. They also have a nutty overtone.

There are dozens of different types of acids in coffee. Many of them are beneficial to flavor and are healthy. However, there is a specific acid in coffee that causes upper GI distress. Chlorogenic Acid, specifically CQA 3,4, and 5 has been definitively correlated with stomach problems. Chlorogenic Acids can occur naturally in coffee. Drum roasting can increase these levels significantly.

Over 98% of coffee roasters in this country roast coffee in a drum roaster. We don't. Instead, we've engineered, designed, and manufactured our own coffee roaster that uses patented convection technology to roast coffee. Instead of introducing coffee to a hot drum, we roast our coffee beans in a fluidized bed of hot air. Our coffees never come into contact with hot steel. Our coffees are gently roasted in a stream of the very hot air to reduce chlorogenic acids, confirmed by independent lab testing. The results are a smooth, flavorful, easy-to-drink coffee that doesn't upset your stomach. Sip your coffee without the fear of heartburn!

Skeptical? Good. You should be. If you're one of the many that experience stomach problems with drinking coffee you've probably already researched the topic online and found lots of information, much of it contradictory. Our claims are based on the work of Dr. Taka Shibamoto, a Distinguished Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the UC Davis Coffee Center. Dr. Shibamoto has conducted studies on Chlorogenic Acid in coffees. These studies have determined that elevated levels of Chlorogenic Acid in coffee are major contributors to bitterness in coffee as well as upper GI distress.
