The word ‘acidity’ doesn’t sound particularly pleasing, especially as its so often associated with indigestion. So you might be surprised to discover that in the Specialty Coffee world acidity in coffee is both desirable and prized. In this episode we take a deep dive into acidity in coffee and find that it is about much more than just pH levels. That said, in this week’s FACQ we discover the actual pH of coffee and how it relates to other drinks. Is coffee more acidic than Coca Cola? Listen to find out!

The Academics of Acid in Coffee  is a readable article on coffee acidity by Five Senses Coffee in Australia. (https://fivesenses.com.au/blogs/news/academics-acid-coffee/)
