If you have stomach or acid reflux issues due to coffee but want to still feel the effects, you should absolutely look into low acid brewing techniques, you'll find that cold brew / toddy style brewing is much less harsh on your stomach and can be purchased at most coffee shops, at a grocery, or created at home with a super simple glass jar and a simple paper or cloth filter and time.
Toddy / cold brew is not the same as iced coffee (iced coffee does not have the low-acid properties that toddy / cold brew does. There are also different types of beans and a dark roast is lower acidity.
Finally, if that still doesn't work, switch to matcha. You can get culinary grade from ippodo rather than the finest grade and it's the same quality.
- Ragib_Zaman 6y agoAnother way to reduce the acidity is to mix in ground up egg shells into the ground coffee. As you brew this mixture, the calcium carbonate of the egg shells (alkaline) partially neutralises the acids from the coffee beans. You can even combine this with the two usual methods for low acidity coffee that you mentioned (cold brewing and using dark roasts). I haven't actually tried this combo yet but I'm keen to!
