All Mavericks Coffees are slow roasted and low acid. Slow roasting the coffee beans at higher temperatures for a longer duration is the most effective method to reduce acidity levels in coffee. (See our industry-leading pH scores below).
That also means whether you enjoy light roast or favor a dark roasted coffee, even a decaf coffee, the acidity content in Mavericks Coffee is dramatically reduced. You can drink with confidence knowing the coffee is slow roasted and low in acid.
"We have been ordering for the last few years. Always on time and top quality. My wife has acid reflux. We tried many low acid coffees. They had low acid but the flavor was not great. We found Mavericks flavorful and agreed with my wife's issues. Not only that while not inexpensive was competitively prices. Give it a try and see for yourself"
— Paul L.
"As a person recently diagnosed with bladder issues, I now cannot tolerate acidic food or drinks. As a coffee drinker for 50 years, I had to find a solution. Mavericks low acid, decaf coffee is perfect. I've passed Mavericks brand and contact information to my urologist"
— Sylvia F.
Since slow roasting is all natural, we use USDA certified Organic beans. There are no pre-stem treatments, nor alkalizing agents allowed.
Not only are our coffees slow roasted, low acid, and organic, the slow roasted flavor is great. Harsh or bitter flavors of fruity notes are hallmarks of acidic coffees. Slow roasting removes Volatile Organic Compounds that are precursors to these unpleasant notes.
Not only will your stomach appreciate the acid reduction, your palate will as well. Enjoy a rich, full bodied flavor without the bitterness or unpleasantness you will find in many cups of coffee.
Many brands claim to be "low acid," but we prove it. A true low-acid coffee should have a pH score of 5.5 or higher (remember: higher number = lower acidity). Look for the pH score and 3rd party laboratory verification. After all, your health depends on it.
A Note on Our Scores: Coffee is a natural, agricultural product. Our pH scores are based on 3rd-party lab tests, but final scores can fluctuate slightly from batch to batch and roast to roast. The values in this chart represent levels of "up to" that score (e.g., up to 6.39 for Dark French) based on independent analysis.
| Coffee Name | Type | pH Level |
|---|---|---|
| Dark French | Regular | 6.39 (Lowest Acidity) |
| Decaf Dark French | Decaf | 6.3 |
| Iron Horse | Regular | 6.2 |
| Sumatra | Regular | 6.2 |
| Midnight Ride | Regular | 6.09 |
| Decaf Midnight Ride | Decaf | 6.09 |

Official Lab Verification: To ensure accuracy, all our coffees are tested by an independent, third-party laboratory based on AOAC 970.21a methodology using a Mettler Toledo SevenCompact™ pH/Ion S220 meter. View our official lab certifications here.
See the difference? Our Dark French is nearly 10x less acidic than standard coffee.
