Low Acid Coffee
Has anyone tried Puroast Low Acid Coffee? Does it work for IC sufferers and if anyone has tried it......Does it taste like coffee? I bought an organic coffee substitute once and thought I was going to die from the smell once I opened the can.......couldn't even get the courage to brew a pot!

Low acid coffee
I have tried and liked Puroroast coffee, it tastes like regular. I also found out I could use AJ's house blend which says low acid beans on the package. I put 2 Preleif tabs in a spoon and crush to a powder, stir it into the coffee and have had good luck with this. I drink mine black.

I like the Puroast House Blend Decaf. Yes, it smells like coffee & tastes like coffee, very mild though. I am super diet sensitive, so I make mine in the Toddy maker* (which further reduces the acid), dilute it with milk & take Prelief. I love it! (Especially with sugar, over ice)

Low acid coffee tastes like any coffee, but it doesn't have the bitter taste of some coffees.

any other brands?
Some people have mentioned the Trader Joe's low-acid coffee but are there any others? I don't think the caffeine affects me like the acid does.
I read in my IC cookbook that 3 factors affect the acidity:
1) type of bean (least acidic beans are from the Indonesian Islands--Java & Sumatra)
2) roasting process (longer=less acidic, look for very dark brown shiny beans)
3) brewing method
I'm having a hard time finding info on types of low-acid beans and brands online.Comment
