Quick answerBrewed coffee is mildly acidic, typically around pH 4.8-5.1, less acidic than orange juice. If coffee bothers your stomach, try a medium-dark or dark roast, cold brew, or drinking coffee with food. People with reflux or ulcers should follow their doctor's advice.
Acidity vs "acidity"
Coffee tasters use "acidity" to mean brightness of flavor, which is not the same as stomach effects.
Gentler cup tips
- Choose medium-dark roasts like Al-Aqeeq.
- Try cold brew.
- Add a splash of milk.
