Each K-Cup delivers rich, full-bodied coffee with no bitterness or discomfort.
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 real source of upper GI distress is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds occur naturally in coffee and can increase 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 gentle process ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, flavorful, easy-to-drink coffee that is kind to your stomach and convenient in every K-Cup.
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 Rise and Shine K-Cups today and enjoy a warm, comforting cup that feels as good as it tastes.
