What This Article Covers:

Low-Acid Coffee Beans

We all know how good the perfect cup of coffee can make you feel. But new discoveries are being made about the coffee bean all the time. As we learn more, we pass that knowledge on to you so you can make the best decision about your health.

Coffee is not the most acidic beverage you can drink. It usually has a pH level of about 5, which is lower than most sodas and even orange juice. The acid in coffee isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Some types of acid are better than others, and most disappear during the roasting process.

But the acidity in coffee can also wreak havoc on the stomachs of people prone to certain gastric conditions. So the availability of low-acid coffee beans has been great news for many coffee drinkers. In case you’re not yet familiar with what low acid coffee is, here’s a quick breakdown of the science behind it.

What Makes Coffee Acidic?

All coffee beans are acidic to some degree. While this is partly what gives coffee its distinctive taste, it can cause stomach issues for certain people. The way that you prepare your coffee also influences its acidity levels.

These acids are naturally occurring and not all of them are bad; some are good for you.

One of the main groups of acids found in pure coffee is chlorogenic acids. These are antioxidants, and a diet rich in antioxidants is beneficial to your health. Antioxidants bind with free radicals in your bloodstream and effectively neutralize them, lowering the chance of cancer and other diseases.

When coffee is consumed daily, it can contribute more of these health benefits to your diet than what you eat. But some of the acids in coffee can be problematic and the only way to avoid them while still enjoying coffee is to drink non-acidic coffee.

Why Is Non-Acidic Coffee Better?

Non-acidic coffee still contains a lot of the healthy attributes of regular coffee. However, it’s a lot gentler on the stomach. Quinic acid, one of the naturally occurring acids abundant in coffee, is responsible for a lot of the digestive troubles that certain coffee drinkers experience.

Do you suffer from heartburn, acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)? If you do, you’ll know what we’re talking about. People who suffer from any of these issues or anything similar often find that coffee can worsen their condition.

Even some of us who don’t have these conditions sometimes feel queasy after a cup of coffee. But does this mean that you can’t enjoy your favorite drink anymore? Certainly not. Of course, there are some delicious non-acidic coffee alternatives that you could try. But you don’t have to give up coffee.

Organic Low-Acid Coffee

Luckily for all you coffee lovers out there, there’s a simple and effective solution to the acidity problem: switch to low-acid coffee. This solution can take two forms. Firstly, you can learn how to make low-acid coffee at home.

The way you prepare your coffee has a huge influence on its acidity. For example, if you drink it while it’s still hot and fresh, you’re already benefiting from lower acidity levels than if you let it stand.

Secondly, you can buy coffee beans that are less acidic from the outset. Naturally, the latter is the best option since we don’t always want to brew an entirely new pot of coffee every time we want a cup.

We’ve made it easy for you to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and less acidity to ease your stomach troubles. Lifeboost Coffee offers some of the very best organic low-acid coffee around.

Why Organic?

If you aren’t familiar with organic products, you may wonder why this is so important. Is organic really better? These days the word organic gets tossed about a lot, but what does it actually mean? Basically, organic means that the product has been produced following strict organic guidelines set up by the USDA.

We pride ourselves on using only organic coffee beans in all our products. They are also ethically and sustainably produced and naturally lower in acidity. This means that every product is good for the environment, and also good for you.

How are Our Organic Low-Acid Coffee Beans Produced?

But how are these beans produced? Some regions naturally produce less acidic coffee beans. The conventional coffee that you buy in the store may be a blend of coffees. This is the key difference between blended and single-origin coffee beans. That means you can’t be sure of the quality or acidity of what you’re be drinking.

Single-origin, high-elevation-grown coffee beans are your best bet for a low-acid, stomach-friendly cup of flavorful coffee. We’ve sourced the best single-origin, shade-grown, and hand-picked to ensure a high-quality drink in every cup.

Is Ground Coffee More Acidic?

When coffee beans are roasted, a lot of the acids are reduced. But some of the remaining acidity is released during the grinding process.

Also, coffee that’s left to sit for a long time after grinding is more acidic than when it’s freshly ground for each cup.

Coffee Beans vs Ground Coffee

This is largely a matter of personal choice.
