Best Low Acid Coffee Brands

Our top pick for low acid coffee is Fabula Coffee.

The secret behind this low acid coffee bean? Nothing is added and nothing is taken away. It’s all about the region and the way these incredible beans are grown.

Fabula Coffee is slow grown and allowed to completely mature. Only the best of the best beans are hand picked and mountain spring water washed.

These Peruvian or Mexican beans are fair trade, small batch roasted, pesticide free, specialty bean, USDA certified organic, certified Kosher, single origin (from a single farm), and shade grown at an elevation above 5700 ft and these beans are NON GMO.

What’s ironic? Most low acid coffee beans are grown at low elevations, but these are grown a mile above sea level, which also keeps mold and mycotoxins from growing on the beans. Aside from that, they are 3rd party lab tested.

Shade grown coffee acquires complex, desirable flavors as the coffee cherry has time to properly mature. The fruit’s natural sugars burst through and add a rich flavor to the final product. Less than 2% of the world’s coffee is shade grown and Fabula is at the top of that 2%.

Fabula beans are sun dried to the perfect humidity of 11.5% to ensure there is no mold.

The flavor?  Smooth. Very, very smooth with a nice chocolate - caramel flavor that is ultra low acid with no bitter aftertaste.

It’s in the name. Puroast achieves their low-acid coffees by their “pure roasting” process, which consists of slowly roasting the beans in a wood fire. They’re pretty old school about the whole thing, which, in this case, is good for your digestive tract.

They are, coolly enough, backed up by the University of California in their claims of having 7% more antioxidants than green tea and 70% less acid than other coffees. Two numbers which made us squint at them for several seconds — because what a parallel. There were hand sculpted and gifted to the Puroast marketing team by of UC Davis’ Dr. Shibamoto.

Just buy a bag. The story’s cool. 

If you want as many ground up beans as possible per dollar, you probably won’t get much better value than the Simple Smooth line of coffees from Folgers. They’re specifically designed to be easy on your tummy so that the best part of wakin’ up can be Folgers in your cup — without getting burned later. Literally.

Highly rated and available in a number of forms, including in K-cups, Simply Smooth can help you cut your system some slack.

Though you do have to deal with your brain automatically singing the 'Best Part of Waking Up' jingle every morning. That’s your call, my friend.

Tres Hermanos has a patented process that they use to rid the beans of 80% of their acidity. They custom-make air roasters to ensure an even roast for every single little bean. They also pay a great wage to all of their workers, so there’s no bitterness in there from that!

This Brazilian-harvested java is roasted only in small batches and it’s non-GMO, which means you won’t be sipping up foreign metals of chemicals from fertilizer to go along with your mid-afternoon pick-me-up. 

I can appreciate a brand that gives you a heads-up of all the benefits: on top of taking it easy on your stomach, the no-acid affect of Tylers Coffee is gentle on your tooth enamel as well. Low acid organic coffee is our focus to enhance the well-being of coffee lovers across the globe, while producing high quality taste.

Indigestion, bloating & other discomforts can come from Acid Re-flux. This is why Tyler’s no acid organic coffee with near neutral pH is a preferred choice. Keep those teeth strong while enjoying that cup of coffee.

This coffee has all of the buzzwords: it’s 100% arabica (ding), the beans are harvested from Indonesia and Brazil (ding, ding), and it’s small batch roasted by hand (ding, ding, ding!).

Lucy Jo's is totally family run and organic, not to mention that they pride themselves on providing the freshest (ding, ding, ding, ding) roasted coffee available.

They're also slowly expanding to a wider audience, which you can certainly be a part of by snagging a bag of this mellow belly brew. Lucy Jo's previously wasn't on our radar, but we recommend giving them a try!

I’m not throwing in my favorite yet by putting these two Lucy Jo’s one right after the other — they just cost the same.

In comparison, this batch is harvested from Sumatra, which is on our green-light-go list, and it’s a Certified Organic low acid coffee. This one’s a dark roast, so if you’re craving a cup of the black stuff, this could be your new best friend.

It’s all right on the label: 100% arabica and harvested from Central and South America. It’s medium roasted, too, which means they didn’t roast it to death. Three cheers for that.

What’s also on the label is that it’s mixed with matcha, as well as Rooibos Red Tea and Goji Berry powders. Before you cry “treason!,” let’s calmly talk this out.

Matcha is delicious and provides a longer amount of sustained energy after consumption. We drink coffee from energy, remember? The Rooibos is there to calm digestion, while the Goji Berry actually boasts anti-inflammatory properties, which is a large problem with stomach complaints.

Try it before you knock it!

Despite the fact that this company decided to try and cram everything they possibly could into that title, it does tell us what we need to know. Java Planet coffee is 100% USDA organic, arabica, low acid, harvested in Colombia, and it’s Fair Trade, which is always a good thing.

Like Lucy Jo’s, Java Planet is family-owned and roasted in small batches, once again to provide the freshness that helps keep acid levels constant. It is, however, a medium dark roast, and can be bitter because of the quinic acids. It’s generally well-received, though, so might as well take a shot! 

If you’re pretty attached to your Keurig coffee maker,  trücup K-Cups these might be the best solution for you. They were made with people like you in mind — those of us with acid reflux, heartburn, or weak stomachs. Or those of us unlucky to suffer from all three.

This is all trücup does, too — cater to those of us who’re desperately clutching to our coffee consumption while making repeated trips to the loo. They’re a noble company, boasting a noble mission, and the pods are recyclable, too!

If K-Cups aren’t your thing, trücup does make bagged coffees. And if their bagged coffee is anything like the quality of the coffee in their K-Cups, you won't be disappointed.

Okay, okay. Don’t let the name (or the logo) deter you from trying these K-cups. They may look like they’re made for old geezers, but they come with some hefty ratings: like an FDA approval for their Techno roasting process.

HealthWise coffee uses a special processing technique that reduces the acids associated with causing heartburn. It’s also Kosher certified and produced in a nut-free building.
