But does that mean those with a sensitive stomach should go cold turkey on one of the best drinks of all time? Registered dietitians and coffee experts agree: Absolutely not. That\u2019s because, according to them, there are easy ways to brew coffee so it doesn\u2019t irritate your gut with such intensity. Ahead, a coffee expert\u2019s rules of thumb for deciphering the type of coffee least likely to disrupt your sensitive stomach.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The best type of coffee for a sensitive stomach <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/genkappler.coffee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/genkappler.coffee\/\">Genevieve Kappler<\/a>, a coffee expert, roasting technologist, and the director of coffee and brewing at <a href=\"https:\/\/roastingplant.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/roastingplant.com\/\">Roasting Plant Coffee<\/a>, the types of (hot) coffee that are more likely to cause irritation have one thing in common: Longer brewing times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe general rule is that the shorter the brewing time, the more stomach-friendly the coffee is,\u201d Kappler says. As such, espresso will likely be your best bet, as it uses more pressure and temperature to brew a shot quickly. However, Kappler is quick to point out that this rule of thumb isn\u2019t as foolproof as one may think.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-coffee-for-sensitive-stomach\/\" current-title=\"\u2018I\u2019m an RD\u2014This Type of Coffee Is Less Likely To Cause Stomach Irritation and Digestive Issues\u2019\" current-image=\"Stocksy_txp25cc57c6Neh300_Small_3989087-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-11-18\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-coffee-for-sensitive-stomach\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-coffee-for-sensitive-stomach\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-coffee-for-sensitive-stomach\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>While caffeine levels and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-low-acid-coffees\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/best-low-acid-coffees\/\">amount of acid in the beans<\/a> themselves are generally the two main causes of coffee-related stomach irritation, Kappler says there&#8217;s more to the story. \u201cYes, there is slightly less caffeine in espresso than drip coffee, but caffeine is not the only element that can cause acid reflux, discomfort, or irritation\u2014it\u2019s also certain oils,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Kappler explains that the process of making espresso\u2014high pressure plus high temperature\u2014can lead to higher extraction of oils (about 2 milligrams of oil per milliliter of espresso), which can also cause digestive discomfort in some folks. Conversely, drip coffee made using a filter might retain oils in the paper better and perhaps be even more digestible than espresso. This is where the <em>type<\/em> of bean used to make coffee (and not just the method) comes into play. \u201cFat is acid-forming, meaning it will trigger discomfort in some people and can be more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4863403\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4863403\/\">difficult to digest<\/a>, as the body has to create acid to break down those fats in the digestive process,\u201d Kappler says.<\/p>\n<p>The expert shares that darker roast coffee tends to be lower in acid but higher in these oil compounds than lighter roasts, so it&#8217;s really a matter of your own personal body and what works for you. (Just keep in mind that the darker roasts tend to become rancid more quickly. \u201cOnce the oil oxidizes in coffee, it becomes even harder to digest and can lead to higher levels of acid reflux,\u201d Kappler says.)<\/p>\n<p>And a quick word to the wise before we all start downing copious espressos:\u00a0\u201cAccording to some data, espresso may be your best bet when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35057580\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35057580\/\">supporting digestive health<\/a>\u2014but this does not mean that a quadruple shot of espresso is any better than a regular cup of joe,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nutritionnowcounseling.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.nutritionnowcounseling.com\/\">Lauren Manaker<\/a>, MS, RDN, LD, CLEC, CPT, a registered dietitian based in Charleston.<\/p>\n<p>Like most things, moderation is key. \u201cOne espresso shot along with other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/fall-coffee-gut-friendly\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/fall-coffee-gut-friendly\/\">gut health-friendly ingredients<\/a> may be a great choice,\u201d Manaker says.
