Do you love coffee, but cannot handle the acid? Over 30% of the coffee-drinking public experiences upper gastrointestinal distress when drinking coffee. These symptoms can manifest as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, sour stomach, and GERD. The assumption has been that pH level has much to do with these symptoms. This is misleading and in most cases, incorrect. Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ is now available in economy size!

Grown in southern Mexico, near the border with Guatemala, Chiapas coffee beans share the same characteristics as Guatemalan beans, which are expected from the volcanic soil and high altitude in which they are grown. They are mild and delicate, with slightly sweet notes of brown sugar and pear. They also have a nutty overtone.

However, there is a specific acid in coffee that causes upper GI distress. Chlorogenic Acid, specifically CQA 3,4, and 5 has been definitively correlated with stomach problems. Chlorogenic Acids can occur naturally in coffee. Drum roasting can significantly increase these levels. Over 98% of coffee roasters in this country roast coffee in a drum roaster. We don't. Instead, we've engineered, designed, and manufactured our coffee roaster, which utilizes patented convection technology to roast coffee. Instead of introducing coffee to a hot drum, we roast our coffee beans in a fluidized bed of hot air. Our coffees never come into contact with hot steel. Our coffees are gently roasted in a stream of very hot air, which results in the complete removal of Chlorogenic Acid. The results are a smooth, flavorful, easy-to-drink coffee that doesn't upset your stomach. Sip your coffee without worrying about heartburn! Skeptical? Good. You should be. If you're one of the many who experience stomach problems with drinking coffee, you've probably already researched the topic on
