Coffee and Stomach Sensitivity

Coffee and Stomach Sensitivity Many coffee lovers wonder about coffee and stomach issues. Here's what you should know about our dark roast coffee. The Science You might think dark roast coffee is more acidic and harder on your stomach - but the science shows something different! Key findings: - Dark roast and light roast coffee have the same pH level (around 5, similar to a banana) - However, dark roast contains higher levels of a compound called N-methylpyridinium (NMP) - NMP forms during the roasting process - Research shows NMP helps inhibit stomach acid production This is why many people find dark roast coffee easier on their stomach than lighter roasts! Tips for Sensitive Stomachs If you're prone to heartburn or acid reflux, try these tips: 1. Choose dark roast - Like our GothRider Coffee, which may be gentler due to higher NMP levels 2. Don't drink on an empty stomach - Have some food first 3. Try cold brew - Cold brewing extracts fewer acids 4. Add milk or cream - Can help neutralize acidity 5. Limit intake - Moderate consumption is key Important Note Everyone's body reacts differently to coffee. If you have significant acid reflux, GERD, or other digestive conditions, we recommend consulting with your doctor about coffee consumption. Questions?
