Process over packaging — how Puroast is playing the long game
Functional CPG is having a moment. Innovation is not the same as a claim on a bag. Too much of "functional coffee" is an extraction, an additive, or a blend that has to carry this...
Coffee and Acid Reflux: How to Keep Drinking Coffee Without the Burn
If you suffer from acid reflux, you have probably been told to give up coffee. But here is what most people are never told: it is not the coffee itself that triggers acid reflux — it is the acid in the coffee. You do not have to give up coffee. You just need to choose the right one.

The Critical Science Fact Most People Don't Know
Studies have NOT shown that reducing caffeine directly decreases acid reflux. What definitively helps is reducing acid intake. The acid in coffee — not the caffeine — is the primary documented cause of coffee-related acid reflux symptoms.
THE ACID REFLUX MYTH: SWITCH TO DECAF
Millions of acid reflux sufferers have been told that decaf is the answer. The real solution is less acid — not less caffeine. Puroast delivers 5X less acid with 100% caffeine intact.
Why Puroast Works for Acid Reflux Sufferers
Puroast's patented traditional roasting process is independently verified to contain 5X less acid than leading national coffee brands and 5X more antioxidants. The NC A&T 2024 study independently tested seven brands claiming to be low-acid. Six failed. Puroast was the only brand that delivered verified results with a measured pH of 5.82 — well above the 5.5 scientific threshold for genuinely low-acid coffee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does coffee cause acid reflux?
High-acid coffee does. Standard commercial coffee at pH 4.8–5.2 stimulates gastric acid production and irritates the esophageal lining. Genuine low-acid coffee like Puroast (pH 5.82, 5X less acid) can be tolerated by most acid reflux sufferers.
Will decaf coffee help my acid reflux?
Studies have NOT shown that reducing caffeine directly decreases acid reflux. Decaf coffee has approximately the same pH (~5.0) as regular coffee. Only Swiss Water Process decaf may offer partial 30–40% acid reduction — still significantly more acidic than Puroast's verified pH 5.82.
How does Puroast reduce acid reflux symptoms?
By delivering 5X less acid per cup than leading commercial brands. Puroast's patented slow-roasting process transforms chlorogenic acids into phenolic antioxidant compounds. This reduces both the coffee's pH and the gastric acid stimulation it causes — verified by UC Davis and NC A&T State University.
Is Puroast the only genuine low-acid coffee?
Puroast is the only coffee with a US patent for its low-acid roasting process, independently verified by two universities (UC Davis + NC A&T 2024), and certified by LACCSA. The NC A&T 2024 study tested seven brands — six failed. Puroast was the only one that delivered verified low-acid results.
What is the pH of Puroast coffee?
Puroast is independently verified at pH 5.82 — above the 5.5 clinical threshold for genuinely low acid coffee. Regular commercial coffee averages pH 4.8–5.2. On the logarithmic pH scale, this difference means Puroast is 5X less acidic than average coffee.
