Enjoy Non Acidic Coffee Without Heartburn

By Juana Buchanan


Are you a cafe-au-lait lover who no longer can sip this beverage because it upsets your stomach? Well, cheer up. You can resume the time-honored pursuit of sitting over the morning paper with a steaming cup next to you - or enjoy an afternoon pick-me-up - by using non acidic coffee. Actually, the term maybe should be 'low acid', since some acids will remain.

This is a good thing, because experts say that it is the acids that give the flavor to one of the world's most popular drinks. The beans contain many different compounds called acids. Some of them help make the brew good for you. However, some of them also cause gastrointestinal upset, including indigestion, heartburn, and acid reflux.

There is a solution for those who suffer stomach irritation. There are blends of beans that are naturally lower in acids as well as grinds that have been processed in a way that reduces the strongest acids. Steam is used to reduce the acidity without using chemicals or compromising the natural flavor of the beans.

Low-acid coffees abound on today's market. Some of these are grown on special soils at lower altitudes and naturally have a lower pH. Others have been roasted long and slow to give a smoother taste and a gentler effect on your stomach. Steam processing removes some of the harsher acids from the grounds. There are all sorts of low-acid brews available: regular and decaf, medium and dark roasts, and flavored brews.

The cold-brewing method reduces the harsh effect of both regular and decaf coffees on your intestinal tract. Grounds are steeped for twelve hours in cold water. The mixture is then strained and filtered to give a pure extract that can be mixed with either cold or hot water to taste. Many people find that soaking the grounds overnight gives the kick without the burn.

Folks who've tried and liked this method say that the flavor is as good or better than that produced by the traditional hot-water drip machines. This is one answer for those who drink a lot of coffee throughout the day and think that they are going to give themselves an ulcer.

Check out the devices you can buy to learn more about the art of cold-brewing. There are also recipes online to use household utensils to get the same results. The devices are no more expensive than a good drip system, but all you really need is a covered bowl, a strainer or filter, and a spoon.

Non-acid coffee is becoming more and more popular as people in high-stress jobs who try the gentler beverages rave about them to their friends and associates. You really don't have to compromise on flavor to protect your stomach from irritation. Go online to learn more about Arabica beans, Colombian roasts, and other imported options to keep the coffee you love and depend on coming morning, noon, and night.
