How to Brew the Best Low Acid Espresso at Home
For Espresso Machines:
Start with our recommended recipe: 18 grams in, 36-40 grams out, in 25-30 seconds for a classic double shot. This ratio brings out the cocoa and molasses notes while creating that signature thick crema.
For Moka Pot:
Fill the basket with medium-fine grounds (slightly coarser than espresso), use medium heat, and keep the lid open to monitor extraction. Remove from heat just as the coffee begins to gurgle for the smoothest, least bitter results.
For AeroPress (Inverted Method):
Use 17-20 grams of coffee, add 220ml of water just off boil, stir for 10 seconds, steep for 1.5-2 minutes, then press slowly. You'll get a concentrated, espresso-style brew with incredible body and that signature low acid smoothness.

Compare Bold Respect to Other Low Acid Espressos
Most low acid coffees achieve their gentleness through one of two methods: chemical treatment or light roasting. Both compromise flavor significantly.
Chemical Treatment: Some brands use chemical processes to strip away acids. This can leave behind metallic or flat flavors and raises questions about purity.
Light Roasting: Others simply under-roast the beans. While this reduces some acidity, it creates a sour, underdeveloped flavor that dark roast lovers find disappointing.
The Bold Respect Approach: We use natural selection and precision roasting. Our beans are chosen from specific origins known for naturally lower acidity, then roasted to a perfect dark profile that develops deep, complex flavors while maintaining that stomach-friendly character.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Best Low Acid Espresso
How is Bold Respect No. 3 different from other low acid espressos?
Bold Respect No. 3 achieves its low acid profile through natural bean selection and precision roasting—not chemicals or under-roasting.

It's the best low acid espresso because it doesn't compromise on taste.
Will this work for severe GERD or acid reflux?
Yes. Bold Respect No. 3 is specifically designed with GERD sufferers in mind. Our low acid formula is stomach-friendly and has been recommended by medical professionals for patients with digestive sensitivities. However, everyone's tolerance is different, so we recommend starting with a smaller cup to test your individual response. Read our doctor-backed GERD guide for more information.
Can I use this for regular drip coffee, or is it only for espresso?
While Bold Respect is optimized for espresso, it's incredibly versatile. Many customers love it as drip coffee (use a slightly coarser grind), in Moka pots, pour-over, and even cold brew. The dark roast profile and low acidity shine through in any brewing method, making it perhaps the best low acid espresso for multi-purpose brewing.
