If Coffee Feels Like A Gamble...

You know the drill:

You love coffee. You need coffee. But every cup comes with a silent negotiation:

"Will this one trigger heartburn? Should I take an antacid first? Is it worth the pain?"

Maybe you've tried:

  • Adding milk (which makes it worse)
  • Switching to decaf (still hurts)
  • Drinking it with food (doesn't help)
  • Taking Tums like candy (Band-Aid solution)
  • Giving up coffee entirely (soul-crushing)

Here's why regular coffee hurts:

Most coffee is highly acidic (pH 4.5-5.0). When it hits your stomach, it triggers acid production, relaxes your esophageal sphincter, and creates the perfect storm for heartburn, reflux, and digestive distress.

But here's the thing: It's not the caffeine. It's the acid.

And we figured out how to fix that.


How Low Acid Coffee Actually Works

We don't just slap "low acid" on the label and call it a day.

Our process:

Bean selection from naturally low-acid regions – Specific growing altitudes and soil types produce beans with naturally lower acidity

Proprietary roasting technique – Our roast profiles reduce acidity substantially while preserving flavor complexity

Aggressive taste testing – Every batch is cupped and evaluated. If it's harsh or bitter, it doesn't ship. Ever!

pH monitoring – We taste test for acidity levels to ensure consistency batch after batch

The result? Coffee that's smooth, never bitter, easy to drink black, and gentle on your stomach. Without sacrificing flavor.

Doctor recommended low acid espresso - Dr Joseph Salhab endorses Bold Respect for acid reflux and gut health

🩺 Dr. Joseph Salhab
Board-Certified Gastroenterologist (@TheStomachDoc)

"Pangea Coffee's clean sourcing, low acid profile, and allergen-free roasting process make it one of the best choices for anyone with gut issues."

Why gastroenterologists recommend low-acid coffee:

  • Reduces acid production in the stomach
  • Less likely to trigger LES (lower esophageal sphincter) relaxation
  • Minimizes irritation to stomach lining
  • Better tolerated by people with GERD, IBS, gastritis, and ulcers

Research suggests that lower-acid coffees may be better tolerated by people with acid reflux and GERD. Our proprietary roasting process reduces acidity while maintaining exceptional flavor.

Common Questions About Low Acid Coffee

Will low acid coffee really help my acid reflux?

Research suggests that lower-acid coffees may be better tolerated by people with acid reflux and GERD. Our proprietary roasting process reduces acidity while maintaining exceptional flavor.

Many customers report: Less heartburn, reduced need for antacids, ability to drink coffee on an empty stomach, and no more regret after their morning cup.

That said, everyone's body is different. Start with a small amount and see how your stomach responds.

What makes coffee "low acid"?

Low acid coffee has a higher pH level (less acidic) than regular coffee. Our low acid profile is achieved through:

  • Aggressive taste testing – If it's harsh or bitter, it doesn't ship
  • Careful bean selection – From naturally lower-acid growing regions
  • Proprietary roasting techniques – Reduce acidity while preserving flavor

The difference you'll taste: While regular coffee tends to be harsh and bitter (that burnt taste most coffees have), Pangea coffees are significantly less bitter, less harsh, and very easy to drink black.

Our pledge: We will NEVER put out a bitter cup of coffee. Period!

Which roast is best for severe GERD or gastritis?

Dark roasts tend to be the least acidic because they're roasted longer. They also have less caffeine than light and medium roasts, which can help reduce stomach irritation.

If you have severe stomach issues, start with Bold Respect (our dark roast).
