View laboratory reportsHow to brew
- Dose: start with 15g of coffee, about 2 tablespoons, per 8 fl oz of water, then adjust to taste.
- Water: just off the boil, about 195 to 205°F.
- Grind right before brewing: medium for drip and pour-over, coarse for French press and cold brew, medium-fine for AeroPress, fine for espresso and moka pot.
- At that dose a 12 oz bag makes about 22 cups and a 5 lb bag about 150. Stronger brews make fewer.

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.

Ground or whole bean?
Fresh Ground is ready for everyday brewers like drip machines and pour-over. Whole Bean stays fresh longer and lets you grind for any method, including espresso. Not sure? Start with Fresh Ground.
How much caffeine is in it?
French Roast, Rise & Shine and Espresso are fully caffeinated. Half Caff has about 50 mg of caffeine per serving, roughly half of a standard cup. Decaf is decaffeinated with the Mountain Water Process, which uses water to remove the caffeine.
Description
If you love espresso but coffee doesn’t always love you back, this is your bag. Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ Espresso Whole Bean Coffee is a bold, satisfying espresso roast designed to be smooth and balanced, without the harsh, burnt finish people often associate with many dark espresso blends. It’s an organic, single-origin Arabica roasted to a low-acid, medium-dark roast profile for depth, crema, and an easy-drinking finish.
What it tastes like
A bold, organic single-origin Arabica with rich notes of dark chocolate, graham cracker, and a subtle hint of cinnamon. Expect thick crema, low acid character, and a smooth, balanced finish. Dark, but never burned. Never bitter.
Why this makes a great espresso
- Medium dark roast: built for classic espresso depth without tasting scorched.
- Single-origin Arabica: clean flavor, consistent character.
- Thick crema: designed to pull beautifully as espresso and hold up in milk drinks.
- Low acid profile: a smoother, more approachable cup for people who are sensitive to acidity.
