If you love coffee but it doesn’t always love you back, Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ French Roast K-Cups let you enjoy a bold, full-bodied cup that is gentle on your stomach and smooth to the last sip. It is perfect for anyone who is sensitive to acidity or simply wants a rich, satisfying coffee made easy.
More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach discomfort. Many believe the issue comes from pH level, but that is not the full story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that contribute to its flavor and aroma. The real cause of upper GI distress is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds can occur naturally and increase significantly during drum roasting.
Almost every coffee roaster uses a drum roaster, where beans touch hot metal. We created a better way. Our patented convection roasting system uses a bed of hot air, so the beans never come into contact with steel. This method allows for an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, flavorful, and easy-to-drink coffee that is gentle on your stomach.
If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is a lot of confusing 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 lead to bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.
Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. Our French Roast K-Cups feature the same premium blend as our Fresh Ground French Roast, crafted from 100 percent USDA Organic coffee beans:
- 50% Chiapas — grown in southern Mexico near the Guatemalan border. These beans share the same volcanic soil and high altitude qualities as Guatemalan coffees. They are mild and delicate, with sweet notes of brown sugar and pear, and a nutty finish.
- 25% Nicaragua — balanced and smooth, with subtle complexity and flavors of chocolate, nuts, vanilla, and a light touch of lemon.
- 25% Honduras — mild, rounded, and universally appealing, with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut.
Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ French Roast K-Cups are everything good coffee should be: rich, bold, and aromatic, yet never acidic or bitter. Enjoy the deep flavor of French Roast with the convenience of K-Cups and the comfort of low acid. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Gentle on the Stomach
A low-acid diet can be recommended for people with conditions such as acid reflux, IBD, ulcers. Bariatric surgery patients can also try to limit acid. A third-party lab independently verified that Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee is lower in chlorogenic acids - the main group of acids in coffee - than the average of leading national brands.
Healthy for Communities and Ecosystems
The USDA National Organic Program has strict standards that start from three years before planting the coffee beans. Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee is certified organic. That means you can be sure that these potential synthetic chemicals are not released into communities where the coffee is grown, and there is no disruption to ecosystems due to toxic chemicals.
