Puroast Low Acid Ground Coffee, Premium Organic French Roast, High Antioxidant, 2.2 lb

Been using this brand, has cut back my use of Pepcid. Tastes very good, I like a stronger coffee, so I use more than they say.

I avoid the acid in coffee so I don't get acid reflux and this low acid ground coffee is excellent. I buy the ground half caffeine coffee and use it in my Keurig coffee maker, using a stainless steel Kcup. Buying the ground coffee and the stainless steel coffee filter means I save money, avoid drinking the plastic in kcups leaching into my coffee and I can buy a wide variety of coffee like this Puroast brand. I read that one billion plastic kcups go into landfills each year, so using ground coffee and a stainless steel filter ($10) cuts back on that. A winner all the way around.

I was a barista for 15 years and sold excellent coffee while living in San Francisco. I love coffee. When I developed gastrointestinal issues coffee became something I couldn't drink without suffering immensely. I began a search for coffee I could drink. I bought a Toddy system which removes 70% of the acid and will still use that method, but it isn't always convenient and a pound of coffee doesn't go as far with that system in my experience. A friend brought me some low-acid beans and I enjoyed waking up in the morning and grinding beans for a fresh cup. It still gave me heartburn but was easier on me than regular coffee, somewhat. But I SO enjoyed making fresh coffee again, so I searched for a low-acid coffee when my little stash ran out, and that's when I found Puroast. I have never bought ground coffee, always whole bean, so had very low expectations on all counts. But that's how desperate I was to have fresh coffee, I figured it's worth a try. This coffee really is low acid and I can enjoy a cup or two each morning. I don't feel as if I'm drinking an inferior coffee and I LOVE that it's organic, free trade. I loved Peet's french roast, so if Peet's is a 10 then this coffee is a 7 or 8, which I think is incredible for a low-acid coffee and not even a dark french. This is coffee I don't have to apologize for when sharing it with friends. I am ordering more.

I wish I would have read the one star reviews of this Puroast coffee. And even though there are not that many one star reviews, they are all hitting the target bullseye! One of the reviews described the smell like ashes or an ash try and I couldn't place the smell but when I read that description, I too felt that is what it smelled like. And the taste....well let's just say, it does not taste like coffee!!I bought the 2.5 lbs bag for a little over $28 and that was a waste of money. I've had it for a while and tried it about five times and probably have about 2.3 lbs left. Unfortunately the rest of it will go in the garbage along with the $28.I realize there are more important things to complain about and really matter but if I can help someone else save the $28 bucks, well at least that is something.

I like the fact that this coffee is low acid. Sometimes coffee can be harsh on my stomach, but no problems with this one. It is also half decaf which is also mellow on my stomach. Very good taste not bitter at all. I will purchase this again if the price doesn't go up higher.

I like everything about it... The low acid... My stomach no longer aches for hours after the morning cup (decade ago I used to drink four cups of regular coffee). Same with the lower caffeine... No anxiety.

I've always drunk and loved dark roast coffees, especially French Roast, but this one is too bitter. It has a burnt side-flavor that takes away from the depth of a usual French Roast. I'm going to try their medium roast to see if it has enough flavor for me. If not, will end this sub and look for another dark-roast, low acid coffee.

My wife and I like the taste of espresso and dark roasted coffee. But we both have digestive issues due to the acidity of most of the brands and varieties we like. I've been experimenting with several different low acid brands. While most satisfy our need for low acid brew, the Puroast Low Acid Espresso is the winner as far as taste preference. I'm also pleased that while the grind is not as fine as some espresso grinds, it works well in both my stove top espresso pot and my automatic drip electric coffee maker. Of course, if you don't care for the strong dark roast espresso taste, you may want to try some of the lighter Puroast varieties.
