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.

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 coffee but it doesn’t always love you back, Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ Half Calf Single Serve Cups make it easy to enjoy a smooth, flavorful cup with half the caffeine and none of the discomfort. They are 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 Calf 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 and easy to enjoy from the convenience of Single Serve Cups.

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 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. See for yourself why so many people call Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ the smoothest coffee they have ever tried. Order a box of Half Calf Single Serve Cups today and enjoy a cup that is smooth, balanced, and kind to your stomach.
