Is it really stomach discomfort though? At a pH above 5 you’re still way above what a healthy stomach should be. Perhaps it was your esophagus that hurt?

- v64 4y agoFor sure, I was using stomach discomfort as a broad euphemism to mean the overall unpleasantness I experienced from drinking coffee compared to days when I abstained. Anecdotally, I have a friend who quit coffee for similar reasons who also took up drinking AeroPress brew successfully.
- dean177 4y agoHow long do you typically leave between adding the hot water and plunging the aeropress?
- v64 4y agoAround 15 seconds. This is on the low end of extraction time, official instructions say between 10-30 seconds, although it's really to your preference, and some people prefer a minute or longer. With drip coffee or french press, you're looking at steeping times around 3 to 5 minutes.
