There are many different methods for making coffee, each one offering its own distinct taste. But some individuals prefer to avoid the acidic taste and potential stomach discomfort associated with traditional coffee brewing methods. There are a few innovative tricks you can use to decrease acidity in your cup, such as switching milk brands to one with alkaline properties; additionally, acid reducers may be purchased commercially which can be added directly into the brew before drinking.

Choose beans carefully when looking to reduce acidity in your cup of joe. Dark roasts tend to contain less acidity than lighter varieties, while coarser grind sizes and longer brew times will slow the extraction process and encourage less stomach acid production.

Cold brew coffee is another option when seeking to achieve low acidity levels in your beverage. This process entails steeping ground beans for 12-24 hours in cool water before filtering and drinking, and does not extract compounds at the same rate as hot water does, resulting in significantly reduced acidity levels in your coffee.

As well as these brewing methods, there are also coffees with naturally reduced acidity levels. Brands like Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee use special bean varieties and slower roasting processes that reduce chlorogenic acids without diminishing its flavor profile.
