Air Roasted Coffee and Low Acidity: A Perfect Match for Sensitive Stomachs

If you love coffee but dread the stomach discomfort that sometimes follows, you're not alone. For many people, the natural acidity in coffee can lead to heartburn, acid reflux, or just a general uneasy feeling. But what if you could enjoy the bold flavor and aroma of coffee—without the burn? That’s where air roasted coffee comes in.

What Makes Coffee Acidic?

Coffee beans naturally contain acids—like chlorogenic acid—that contribute to their flavor profile. However, traditional drum roasting methods often cause uneven roasting, scorching the beans’ outer layers. This can create bitter notes and increase perceived acidity, making the coffee harsher on the stomach.

How Air Roasting Reduces Acidity

Unlike conventional roasting, air roasting suspends coffee beans on a bed of hot air, roasting them evenly and gently. This method prevents the charring or burning that occurs in drum roasting and helps preserve the bean’s natural integrity.

Key benefits of air roasting for acidity:

• Cleaner Roast: No contact with metal surfaces reduces bitter, burnt compounds.

• More Balanced Flavor: Maintains subtle tasting notes while reducing harshness.

• Easier on Digestion: The smooth, low-acid profile is ideal for those with sensitive stomachs or acid reflux issues[*].

Is Air Roasted Coffee Low Acid?

While all coffee contains some natural acidity, air roasting tends to lower the perception of acid in the final cup. This doesn't mean it's completely acid-free, but rather that the flavor is smoother and less likely to trigger digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.

Who Should Try Air Roasted Coffee?

• Anyone experiencing heartburn or digestive issues after drinking coffee

• People looking for a smoother, less bitter coffee flavor

• Coffee lovers with acid reflux or GERD concerns[*]

• Anyone switching to a more gentle brew without sacrificing flavor
