Enjoy Non Acidic Coffee Without Heartburn

By Juana Buchanan


Many people really only come awake after their morning coffee. However, millions can no longer enjoy the beverage because it upsets their stomach. However, using non acidic coffee may get things go back to normal. Lower acid brews come in regular, decaf, and flavored varieties, so the experience is just as pleasant without painful side effects.

This is a good thing, because experts say that it is the acids that give the flavor to one of the world's most popular drinks. The beans contain many different compounds called acids. Some of them help make the brew good for you. However, some of them also cause gastrointestinal upset, including indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux.

Millions of people who love this caffeinated beverage both for its flavor and for its energizing properties have had to give it up because they are so uncomfortable after drinking it. Others struggle with an overwhelming desire to go ahead and enjoy a cup, even though they know what will happen half an hour later. However, where there's a will there's a way, and solutions have been found.

You'll find many low-acid coffees if you search. Some beans are lower in acids than others; it may be the type of soil they are grown on or the altitude of the field. Arabica beans are popular for grinds advertised as less-acidic. Long, slow roasting reduces acidity, as well. You can find these gentler-to-your-stomach varieties in regular, decaffeinated, and flavored brews, as well as in medium, dark, and French roasts.

Another way to pamper both your taste buds and your intestinal tract is to use the cold-brewing method. This fact is known to many, but for others it may be earth-shaking news. There are coffee-makers that use cold water, grounds, and an extended steeping period of at least overnight and optimally twelve hours. Strain out the elixir, mix it with either hot or cold water, and enjoy.

Many believe that the cold-brew method not only gives you a gentler cup of coffee, it also gives you one with more flavor. For those who fear that drinking several cups of coffee a day is giving them an ulcer, this alternative is definitely worth a try. Who knows, you may join the multitudes who now do cold brewing.

Check out the devices you can buy to learn more about the art of cold-brewing. There are also recipes online to use household utensils to get the same results. The devices are no more expensive than a good drip system, but all you really need is a covered bowl, a strainer or filter, and a spoon.

To get full flavor without gastrointestinal distress, try one of the low-acid products on the market. You also can see if the cold-brewing method works for you; those who like this way of brewing say that the flavor may even be better than they found with the traditional boiling water drip. There are Arabica blends, Colombian roasts, and many other products to try. Real coffee lovers will have lots of fun finding a low-acid blend that they really like and that doesn't hurt their stomachs.
