Acidity gives coffee its distinct tart, vibrant taste. But for people with sensitive stomachs, its acidity may be irritating and lead to gastric issues like acid reflux, heartburn, IBS or digestive troubles. Luckily there are low acid coffee options which deliver flavor while being gentle on sensitive tummies.

Cold brew coffee has long been touted as low in acid due to the distinct brewing process which limits how long beans are exposed to hot water during brewing, however this is only one method for decreasing acidity in your coffee. You may also consider switching your water temperature for reduced acid extraction from grounds; coarser ground coffee also exposes less surface area for extraction of acids from beans over time and extracts them at slower rates than finely ground beans do.

Though coffee’s acidity can be decreased without negatively affecting its antioxidant levels or flavor, remember that adding milk or sugar may alter its pH level and make it even more acidic.

Epicurious reports that Puroast’s unique patented processing is what sets its low acid coffee apart, making it delicious yet gentle on the stomach.
