If you love coffee but it doesn’t always love you back, Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ Half Calf K-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 K-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 K-Cups today and enjoy a cup that is smooth, balanced, and kind to your stomach.
