Having said that, my favorite coffees come from Indonesia. You can get a really good, dark roast on the bean and it comes out with great flavor and low acid. I battle acid reflux and "sour stomach" all the time, so the less acidity in my coffee the better - but I like harsh, dark coffees. If anyone is familiar with Peet's, a chain on the West Coast, that's the kind of coffee I like.
I pretty much exclusively drink Starbucks because they are the only place in Lincoln I've found that consistently roasts the bean all the way through. I cannot stand that sour, pea-like flavor you get from a partially roasted bean, and too often my local coffee joints serve that crap to me. I would love to support local more, but not when it tastes like ass.
Of all the Starbucks coffees, the one I like most is Komodo Dragon. It's an Indonesian bean, holds a strong, dark flavor, and is very low in acid. I dig Kenyan from time to time, but although African coffees have a great dark flavor, the acidity is WAY high. Kills me.
Same here,and sometimes ridiculously bad. Stuff like prilosec doesn't hit the spot either. There's sometimes that I feel like I have a sharp knife inside my organs. Extreme heat doesn't help either. Feel free to share more low acid coffees if you know of them. I dance around a lot of different types of coffee,and they are hit and miss as far as the stomach jerker goes.
