Alex’s Acid Free Coffee
Are You Enjoying Coffee But Suffer from Heartburn or Digestion Issues? After weight loss surgery or when acid reflux flares up, drinking low-acid coffee may provide soothing warmth without discomfort.
Alex’s low-acid coffee is delicate yet balanced; made with organic beans from his home farm. Alex roasted it dark enough for full flavor with chocolatey characteristics without burning or bittering up the taste buds.
Lower in Chlorogenic Acid
Coffee is naturally acidic, yet more than 30% of coffee drinkers report upper gastro-intestinal distress when drinking regular coffee – including heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion. Chlorogenic Acid can play a part in this issue; high concentrations can negatively impact stomach linings. At Mavericks Coffee they employ a slow roasting process which reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels significantly in their premium beans.
Lower acid decaf coffee provides a delicious beverage with less of the acid that can irritate gastrointestinal issues, providing less-irritant cups of coffee for those to enjoy!
Drinking acidic beverages such as regular coffee can damage your teeth by wearing away their protective enamel layer, increasing the risk of tooth decay and cavities. But by decreasing acid in your diet with lower-acid coffee options, this could be avoided altogether.
Our selection of low-acid coffee is offered in both Whole Bean and K Cup formats, from organically certified Decaf and Rise and Shine varieties to our Medium Dark French Roast with chocolate notes and Italian Roast with caramel notes – so there is sure to be something suitable for every dietary need! We pride ourselves in providing our customers with high-quality options that satisfy them!
Less Bitter
Coffee bean selection and the brewing process both play an integral role in how bitter your cup of joe will taste. Certain beans naturally have less bitterness, while different roast types may add or subtract to that effect. If your cup tastes bitter, cold brew or changing up the timing can help alleviate its intensity.
Many individuals who are sensitive to the acidity of regular coffee prefer low-acid coffee as it is less bitter. Chlorogenic acids are the primary cause of acidity in most brands of coffee; low-acid varieties contain significantly fewer chlorogenic acids compared with their regular counterparts, making the flavor smoother, more pleasurable, and gentler on your stomach.
If you suffer from digestive issues, try low-acid coffee to see how it impacts your symptoms. Different varieties have differing amounts of chlorogenic acid and caffeine content – in order to find one with optimal balance.
Alex’s Low Acid French Roast is an ideal choice for anyone who desires low-acid coffee with an attractively balanced, earthy flavor and subtle nutty undertones. Crafted using three highly sought-after beans, and roasted to an almost French roast tone – not as dark as some other brands and therefore without an unpleasant burnt or bitter flavor!
Less Caffeine
Coffee contains caffeine, which is a stimulant. Too much can lead to side effects including anxiety, insomnia, stomach aches, heart palpitations and headaches; alex’s acid free coffee features less of this compound and may therefore be better suited for people who suffer from acid reflux as too much caffeine can exacerbate acid reflux symptoms.
Decaf coffee uses naturally low acid beans that have been decaffeinated using the mountain water method without adding chemical compounds or mycotoxins, creating an amazing low acid coffee with all of its rich and complex flavor profile intact without the associated acidity.
An additional reason to opt for low acid coffee is that too much acidity can interfere with calcium absorption, essential to muscle and bone health. This can result in dry mouth and weaker teeth – thus, choosing coffee with lower acid levels may help.
Our organic whole bean French roast coffee is mild, delicate, and perfectly balanced. Crafted with three highly sought-after beans from around the world and roasted to a medium-dark level reminiscent of French roast, its full body chocolatey personality comes through without burnt or bitter tastes; making this perfect coffee. A perfect cup should have rich, well-balanced flavors without acidity while simultaneously being socially and environmentally conscious – our French Roast fits that bill beautifully!
Less Acidic Cold Brew
those suffering from acid reflux must limit the amount of coffee they drink, as high levels of acid can trigger stomach and digestive issues like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Individuals living with this condition may even be advised to discontinue consumption altogether.
However, those living with this issue can still enjoy the rich flavors of freshly-prepared coffee by sipping cold brew. Cold brew is created by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for 12-24 hours – this slow extraction process helps lower acid production from bean releases while simultaneously decreasing overall oxidation that leads to bitter flavors in regular coffee.
Cold brew coffee offers many of the same nutritional benefits of whole coffee beans, with added chlorogenic acids found in cold brew. Although cold brew contains less acid than traditional coffee, caffeine still contributes to digestive discomfort or worsen GERD symptoms.
Cold Brew coffee is an irresistibly creamy beverage with notes of cocoa and caramel that many find irresistible. Our all-natural Z-Roasting process produces premium beans for our Cold Brew, offering both medium dark French roast and light Italian roast varieties for you to choose from.
Recyclable K-Cups
An increasing number of people are suffering from upper gastro-intestinal distress (GERD) caused by acidic foods and beverages like coffee. Symptoms may include heartburn, indigestion, sour stomach or acid reflux.
One way to help alleviate these symptoms is by drinking low-acid coffee with reduced caffeine content, not only helping to decrease acid in the body but often being gentler on stomach issues too.
Now there are a few brands of coffee that offer single-cup Keurig-style coffee maker K-Cups as an environmental friendly solution compared to buying bags of coffee that only get used once and are then thrown away. These reusable K-Cups made of recycled materials provide convenient brew cups.
Reusable cups are both environmentally conscious and more convenient than purchasing individual cups from cafes, especially when on-the-go and don’t have time to stop by one.
Alex’s low-acid organic K-cups come with the same rich, smooth blends as their whole bean and fresh ground options, making them compatible with all Keurig-style single-serve brewing systems, including 2.0 models. Your schedule, stomach, and tastebuds will thank you for this tasty option.
Reusable Bags
Reusable bags are composed of either recycled or sustainable materials that don’t harm the environment like plastic does, thus saving energy spent manufacturing them and decreasing litter pollution which has an adverse effect on both plant and animal life. Their environmental friendliness depends on how often a bag is used; cotton and jute bags being more eco-friendly than plastic ones.
Reusable bag usage has become an increasing priority for consumers today, so brands that provide such bags as an option align themselves with this environmental movement and may gain customer loyalty as they promote eco-consciousness.
Reusable bags offer another advantage in that they can be reused. A tote could become a gift bag or be put to work storing coffee beans. Furthermore, these bags may even be donated to food banks, so that healthy meals can be distributed accordingly.
BK-Bags takes product end-of-life responsibility seriously, offering various recycling and upcycling options for its bags. Furthermore, the company strives to reduce their environmental impact through energy-efficient production methods and commitments to regenerative practices – setting an industry standard in sustainability with each initiative implemented – ultimately creating a greener planet that we all can enjoy!
