Understanding Coffee Acidity – What It Really Means!

Do you love coffee? When you first wake up, there is nothing like that wonderful flavor of your favorite coffee hitting your tongue. Unfortunately, some of us have had to "cut back" because of the "acidity" and how it affects our stomachs.

Well, we wanted to take a moment to clear up a common misconception about the term "acidity" in the coffee industry – something many coffee drinkers misunderstand!

In the coffee industry, when we refer to coffee as having "acidity," we’re not talking about how it tastes but rather how it affects your stomach. Coffee acidity refers to how acidic the coffee is in terms of pH and more importantly, how it impacts your digestive system.

Some coffees with high acidity, like our Wild West White, can also cause a bit of discomfort for those with sensitive stomachs. On the other hand, when we say a coffee has "low acidity," like our Cowboy Coffee, it means it’s gentler on the stomach, offering a smoother experience with less of that sharp, sometimes sour feeling.

So, if you're looking for something that won’t upset your stomach, try one of our low-acid options for a much smoother, easier drink.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about our coffees or which one might be best for you – we’re here to help!

Happy brewing!
