Question: is the coffee acidic or alkaline?
Answer: While our bodies have a pH value of 7.4 (around neutral), tap water 6.5-8.5, coffee is typically around pH 4.3-5, which is mildly acidic. Typically any food or beverage more acidic than our own body chemistry can trigger digestive discomfort, inflammation and "burning" side-effects like acid reflux or heartburn.
