I have a pretty severe case of acid reflux. It's taken a couple of years and quite a bit of experimenting to find the right prescription to help me manage it. One of the things my doctor recommended was to eliminate three things from my diet: alcohol, chocolate and caffeine. What?!? So no more beer, chocolate or coffee -- there has got to be a better way! I did cut back on chocolate (and it hurt), and beer too (somewhat, anyway!), but the coffee thing was just too much. I gotta have my morning boost, there's no two ways about it.
After much researching my boyfriend Pat found a resource for low-acid coffee online at www.puroast.com . I order five pounds at a time and it's certainly saved me from a caffeine-free existence! But there are those days when I've either run out of Puroast or I'm out and about and dying for a cup of coffee. A while back we were recommended to Colorado Coffee Merchants on Fillmore Street. It's great! Not the best location for a coffee hangout (302 E Fillmore) because it's more of an industrial area, but the last time we went there the place was packed. That's the power of caffeine!
All of their coffees are specially roasted to reduce the acidity. The result is a very smooth, delicious blend. I highly recommend it! It's a great place to sit and hang out to enjoy your java. You can go in for a coffee drink or you can buy some beans to take home and brew yourself. Here's shot from our last visit there a few days ago, near the front window.

Thank you for visiting me
I don't have acid reflux yet, but I'm getting there. I'd love to have a supplier of low-acid coffee here.
I forgot to tell you that I posted a pic of Malate Church's altar a few days ago. Your mom might want to take a peek.
Thanks Hilda! I will check it out.
