Coffee and Acid Reflux: How to Keep Drinking Coffee Without the Burn

If you suffer from acid reflux, you have probably been told at some point 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.

⚠️ Critical Science Fact: 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. According to the European Journal of Nutrition, the roasting process directly controls how much acid your coffee produces in your stomach.

❌ MYTH: Switch to Decaf to Solve Acid Reflux

Millions of acid reflux sufferers have been told that decaf is the answer. But every study comparing decaf to regular coffee for acid reflux failed to control for the pH of the coffee being consumed. Decaffeination processes incidentally reduce coffee acidity as a side effect. So when decaf drinkers reported fewer symptoms, the more scientifically defensible explanation is that they were drinking lower-acid coffee. The real solution is less acid — not less caffeine. Puroast delivers 5X less acid with 100% caffeine intact.
