Folgers offers several solutions to satisfy those with sensitive stomachs, including acid-free coffee in both ground and whole-bean formats, decaf coffee made using Swiss Water Process – which does not involve chemical solvents – and non-GMO products.

Hevla and JJ Darboven, two stomach-friendly lines, both cite academic research showing their products to reduce acid levels; however, any differences may be minor and their methods of treatment unclear.

Black Silk

Folgers Black Silk coffee is an acid- and gluten-free low acid blend crafted from premium Arabica beans that have been carefully roasted and blended together for maximum mildness and flavour. Perfect for people suffering from acid reflux or sensitive stomachs; or those looking for less bitter coffee! This delicious blend makes an excellent treat.

Folger’s ground coffee is currently the best-selling ground coffee brand in America and owned by The J.M. Smucker Company. Established by James Folger in 1859 upon his migration from Nantucket to America with his family, J.A. Folger and Company roast and package their product within their US facility.

Coffee was decaffeinated using an ethyl acetate direct process which effectively removes caffeine without altering its flavor or aroma. The result is an exquisite and smooth flavor with notes of molasses and spice; its astringency was still noticeable yet not overwhelming – perfect for enjoying this easy to drink cup of java!

Folgers Black Silk contains roughly 30-40mg of caffeine per tablespoon of ground coffee or 60-80mg in one 12-oz cup brewed coffee, comparable to its regular counterpart.

Simply Smooth Decaf

Simply Smooth offers a delicious decaffeinated blend, designed to soothe stomach irritants that cause stomach discomfort. Available as both ground coffee and whole bean coffee varieties, Simply Smooth decaf can easily be prepared using any brewing method of your choosing.

Simply Smooth’s coffee comes from Chiapas in southern Mexico and boasts beans cultivated on high altitude volcanic soil, offering delicate notes of brown sugar, pear and nutty. Furthermore, Simply Smooth boasts low acidity levels as well as reduced caffeine.

Procter & Gamble estimates that between 35 million and 40 million Americans have reduced or eliminated their coffee intake because of stomach issues, with those suffering from gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD frequently opting out due to it triggering heartburn. Folgers’ new line of “stomach-friendly” coffees is intended to capture some of this market segment; its parent, Procter & Gamble believes this market share could reach 10% of current U.S. sales of flavored and decaffeinated coffee sales worth over $19 billion!

Simply Smooth Regular

Simply Smooth is a mild blend of beans roasted to minimize certain irritants that could disturb an acid-sensitive stomach, boasting a balanced flavor with no harsh or irritating notes. Packed in an AromaSeal canister that seals shut to keep freshness intact, it comes both whole bean or ground form for your convenience and is compatible with most single cup brewers.

Folgers estimates that approximately 35 million Americans have reduced or eliminated their coffee intake as a result of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and other stomach acid issues, according to Folgers. As part of an emerging trend toward “stomach-friendly coffee”, Folgers has aggressively promoted its new Simply Smooth line; Puroast Low Acid Coffee and Lucy Jo’s are other companies who produce products in this niche market.

Folgers claims its Simply Smooth coffee contains 11% less acid than regular varieties, according to Dr. Takayuki Shibamoto, an expert in environmental toxicology and food safety from University of California Davis. Yet pH analyses conducted by him demonstrate that other brands that claim they have lower acidity contain significantly more than Folgers Simply Smooth does.

Simply Smooth Whole Bean

For those seeking to reduce acid content without adding milk or cream, this blend may be a suitable option. Crafted with beans that are mild and balanced and carefully roasted to reduce irritants that cause stomach discomfort, this coffee has low caffeine levels and comes as convenient ground coffee that’s easy to prepare with any method of brewing – perfect for environmentally conscious beans that promote social and financial responsibility; aromaSeal canister helps preserve freshness; it should not be used with pod coffee makers and has less than two minute brew time with mild flavor profiles for all occasions!
