Best Black Coffee for Fasting

U.S. Drinking Rate Hits Record Low as Coffee Becomes the Go-To Alternative

Why are so many people skipping cocktails and reaching for coffee instead?

New Gallup research shows U.S. alcohol use is at its lowest point since 1939 — and more Americans than ever see drinking as bad for their health. At the same time, specialty coffee, especially smooth low acid blends like those from Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, is becoming the go-to choice for people who want a healthier, more flavorful daily ritual.

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee more popular that alcohol new gallup poll shows

Have you noticed how many people are skipping the after-work drink lately? You’re not imagining it. According to a brand-new Gallup poll, only 54% of U.S. adults now drink alcohol — that’s the lowest number since Gallup started asking the question back in 1939. Even more surprising? Over half of Americans now think that even “one or two drinks a day” is bad for your health.

That’s a big shift. And it’s especially true for younger adults. In the last two years alone, the percentage of 18–34-year-olds who drink has dropped by 9 points. Two-thirds of them say moderate drinking is harmful — which is almost double what it was in 2018. Clearly, people are rethinking their habits.

So… What’s replacing alcohol?

For a lot of people, the answer is simple: coffee. Not just any coffee, but really good coffee. Specialty coffee. Coffee you actually look forward to — the kind we roast here at Toomer’s Coffee Roasters.

Coffee still holds strong as America’s daily beverage ritual. The National Coffee Association says 66% of U.S. adults drink coffee every day, and a record 46% enjoyed specialty coffee just yesterday. That’s the highest it’s ever been.

Why Low Acid Coffee is Winning Hearts (and Stomachs)

Here’s where we’ve seen the biggest shift: people aren’t just drinking more coffee — they’re choosing coffee that’s better for them. That’s exactly why we focus on low acid, specialty-grade beans. Low acid coffee is gentler on your stomach and lets the true flavors of the bean shine through.

And we take it a step further with infrared roasting — a process that brings out rich, complex flavor without the bitterness or harsh aftertaste you sometimes get from traditional roasting. We’ve been doing this for 21 years, as a small, family-owned roaster, and we’ve seen firsthand how it can transform someone’s daily cup.

Coffee as the New Social Hour

The fun part? Coffee can be just as much of a social experience as grabbing drinks — without the hangover. Whether it’s an early morning pour-over at home, a latte with a friend, or a relaxed afternoon in your favorite café, coffee gives you that same sense of connection… just with a different buzz.

The Toomer’s Difference

Coffee and Liver Health – What Does the Science Say

toomers coffee roasters coffee and liver health science says
Your morning cup might be your livers best friend according to the latest scientific evidence

Coffee and Liver Health: 8 Proven Ways Your Cup May Protect Against Liver Cancer and Damage According to Science

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee and liver cancerCoffee isn’t just a morning pick-me-up — it’s a daily habit linked to better liver health in multiple large-scale studies. Among all beverages studied, coffee stands out as one of the most protective against liver cancer, chronic liver disease, and other liver-damaging conditions.

Here are eight, cited, evidence-based reasons your coffee habit could be helping your liver.


1) Lowers Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) Risk

toomers coffee roasters espresso double shot or doble

HCC is the most common primary liver cancer. Meta-analyses show each extra cup of coffee per day can reduce HCC risk by 10–15%, with benefits seen in both caffeinated and decaf drinkers.

References: Bravi et al., Hepatology 2007; Kennedy et al., BMJ Open 2017


2) Slows Chronic Liver Disease Progression

People with hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, or fatty liver who drink coffee regularly have lower fibrosis progression and cirrhosis rates, and a reduced risk of liver-related death.

References: Setiawan et al., Gastroenterology 2015; Saab et al., Clin Gastroenterol Hepatol 2014


3) Reduces Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Risk

toomers coffee roasters low acid decaf flavoredHabitual coffee drinkers are less likely to develop NAFLD, and those who already have it tend to have milder disease. Coffee’s anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing compounds may play a role.

References: Vitaglione et al., J Nutr 2020; Marventano et al., Nutrients 2016


4) Improves Liver Enzyme Levels

Elevated ALT and AST levels can signal liver injury. Coffee drinkers typically show lower liver enzymes, even when adjusting for alcohol intake, BMI, and other lifestyle factors.

5) Rich in Anti-Fibrotic and Anti-Inflammatory Compounds

Chlorogenic acids, cafestol, and kahweol in coffee help reduce oxidative stress and inhibit processes that lead to scarring (fibrosis) in the liver.

References: Arauz et al., Nutrients 2017; Cavin et al., Food Chem Toxicol 2002


6) Benefits Apply to Both Caffeinated and Decaf

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee auburn city blendStudies find similar liver protection in caffeinated and decaf coffee drinkers, making it an option for those sensitive to caffeine.

References: Bravi et al., Hepatology 2007; Freedman et al., N Engl J Med 2012


7) Cuts Risk of Death from Liver Disease

A large UK Biobank study found coffee drinkers had a 49% lower risk of death from chronic liver disease — with ground coffee showing the strongest association.

Reference: Kennedy et al., BMC Public Health 2021


8) Coffee Cleared by WHO as a Carcinogen Risk

In 2016, the IARC reviewed 1,000+ studies and concluded coffee is not a carcinogen — and may actually protect against liver and endometrial cancers.

Reference: IARC Monographs Volume 116, 2016


Practical Tips for Liver-Friendly Coffee Drinking

  • Moderate to high intake works best: Aim for 2–4 cups/day unless otherwise advised by your doctor.

  • Temperature matters: Avoid drinking coffee extremely hot (>65°C / 149°F) to reduce esophageal cancer risk.

  • Choose quality beans: Specialty-grade coffee retains more beneficial compounds.

  • Avoid excess sugar and syrups: These can counteract metabolic benefits.

Remember coffee is not an instant cure for liver disease but more of a preventative action you can take. There’s a saying that “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

Severe liver issues should always be monitored and treated by a qualified medical professional.

Bottoms up!

Which has more of a kick in the cup: Espresso or Brewed?

evolution of coffee culture header imageEspresso vs. Brewed Coffee: Which Packs More Punch? You Might Be Surprised

At Toomer’s Coffee, we get asked all the time: “Which has more caffeine—espresso or regular brewed coffee?”

The answer? They’re essentially about the same.  Really. Let’s break it down.

It’s Not About the Bean—It’s About a Brewing Method

ESPRESSO

toomers coffee roasters espresso double shot or doble
Espresso correctly refers a brewing method not a type of roast or bean

Many people mistakingly think espresso is a special bean or an ultra-dark roast. Not true.

The word “espresso” has its roots in the Italian verb “esprimere,” which means “to press out.” This verb stems from the Latin word “exprimere,” meaning “to press out” or “to squeeze out.” SO, espresso is simply a method of brewing—forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee to create a rich, concentrated shot in about 20–25 seconds.

Because of its bold flavor and small portion size, espresso feels stronger. But one shot (about 1.5 oz) has roughly the same caffeine as an 8–12 oz cup of brewed coffee.

Yes—brew for brew, they’re basically equal in caffeine. It’s just that with espresso, you’re sipping it in a smaller, more intense package.

Meet the Difference: Our Low Acid, Infrared-Roasted Espressos: Bravo & Créma Bella

At Toomer’s, we craft Espresso Bravo and Espresso Créma Bella using our unique infrared roasting process—a cleaner, more even heat that produces smoother, lower-acid espresso with remarkable and many say, superior flavor clarity.

  • Espresso Bravo is bold, chocolatey, and well-structured—ideal for lattes and cappuccinos that need a little backbone.

  • Espresso Créma Bella is velvety, smooth, and sweet—perfect for solo sipping or those elegant flat whites.

Both are low acid, gentle on the stomach, and packed with full-bodied flavor.


But Don’t Count Out Our Brewed Favorites

Of course, not everyone is an espresso drinker. For many, brewed coffee is the daily ritual—especially our top sellers:

  • Auburn City Blend: A balanced medium-dark roast with warm, nutty tones and just enough brightness to keep things lively.

  • Breakfast Blend: Light, clean, and mellow—our smoothest morning starter, especially for those who prefer a gentler cup.

These favorites are also roasted with our infrared process, keeping acidity low and flavor consistent. Whether you brew them in a drip maker, French press, or pour-over, they deliver the comfort and familiarity you love—with none of the harshness.

The Real Difference? Flavor & Format

So should you go for espresso or a traditional brewed cup?

It really comes down to taste and format, not caffeine levels.

  • Like your coffee intense, rich, and fast? Go espresso.

  • Prefer sipping a full mug in the morning? Brewed blends like Auburn City or Breakfast Blend are perfect.

  • Want both? Add a shot of Espresso Bravo to your Auburn City Blend—a.k.a. a “Shot in the Dark.”

Need More Kick? Here’s How to Get It

  • Brewed Coffee: Want more caffeine? Don’t steep it longer—that’ll just make it bitter. Instead, use more coffee grounds.

  • Espresso Drinks: Just add more shots. A double or triple latte gives you the lift without bitterness.

  • Not a Big Coffee Fan? Try adding a shot to hot chocolate or chai. The flavor’s softer, but the boost is real.


Bottom Line: Brewed or Espresso, Low Acid Is the Way to Go

At Toomer’s Coffee, all our coffees—from Espresso Crema Bella to Breakfast Blend—are low acid, specialty grade, and roasted using our signature infrared process. That means more flavor, less bitterness, and a cup your stomach will thank you for.

So whether you’re team espresso or team brewed, you can drink confidently, knowing you’re starting your day with better coffee—inside and out.


Best Low Acid Coffee in Tennessee: Infrared Roasting for Keto, Fasting & Gut Health

toomers coffee roasters low acid healthy option
Start Your Morning Workout Smooth – Tennessee Style – With Toomer’s Low Acid Coffee!

Low Acid Coffee – Is It Hype or Hope?

toomers coffee roasters low acid decaf flavoredFor health-minded folks across Tennessee—from Nashville’s music industry go-getters to Knoxville’s outdoor adventurers—coffee is more than a morning ritual. It’s fuel for the fast-paced, wellness-focused lives many of us lead.

But what happens when your favorite brew starts upsetting your stomach or interfering with your fast? That’s where low acid, infrared-roasted coffee comes in. But is it the real deal—or just another health fad?

Since 2004 here at Toomer’s Coffee, our family has been supplying the Volunteer State with low-acid coffee without equal.


Why Acidic Coffee Can Be a Problem

If you’re intermittent fasting, following a keto or low carb regimen or simply watching what you put into your body, you already toomers_coffee_keto_coffee_workinng_outknow that regular coffee can trigger:

  • Acid reflux (aka GERD)
  • Upset stomach
  • Cortisol spikes that mess with your energy

Most off the shelf, mass produced, “drive-thru” coffee brands have a pH around 5.0—fairly acidic. Orange juice is between 4.0-4.8 pH. So, for many Tennesseans trying to stay on track with their wellness goals, this can derail a perfectly good morning.


What the Actual Science Says That Makes Infrared Roasting Different

Infrared roasting uses far-infrared energy that produces a unique wavelength of heat energy to heat the coffee beans in the roasting process from the inside out. The vast majority of commercially mass produced coffees use some form of  direct flame element to heat the coffee conductively – like frying something in a skillet which is essentially heating the coffee beans from the outside in.  That matters in what we call “bean development” and can affect digestion, consistency, and flavor.

toomers coffee roasters Japanese research proves benefits of infrared low acid coffeeAccording to Japanese researchers T. Kino and T. Takagi, in their 1995 research paper “Effects of FAR Infrared Heating on Coffee Bean Roasting“  infrared roasting:

  • “Reduces irritating acids like citric and malic acid”
  • “Improves antioxidant stability”
  • “Enhances shelf life and overall smoothness”
  • “Avoids scorched, over-roasted flavors”

Since infrared roasting completes the roast at lower temps and faster that conventional flame bed roasters, the flavor profiles are maintained at a superior level.

So many Toomer’s Coffee converts go black and never go back!

This is why so many of our customers tell us that they have quit adding anything to their coffee. They claim even adding even heavy cream (a keto staple for many) takes away from the wonderful flavors our infrared roasting presents in every cup. In other words, they believe Toomer’s Low Acid Coffees taste best black! Thats worth shouting out.

At Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, serving is in our DNA. Founded in 2004 by former missionaries, we’ve been roasting coffee with purpose for over 21 years. Our journey started in South America, where we learned firsthand the value of community, service, and the simple joy of a great cup of coffee. Today, those same values fuel our business.

We believe that great coffee starts with putting people first—our customers, our farmers, and our team. We’re still a family-owned and operated business, and our passion is personal. When you order from us, you’re not just getting coffee—you’re getting over two decades of craft, care, and conviction in every bag.


Why Tennessee Coffee Lovers are Switching to Toomer’s

toomers coffee roasters tennessee flagFrom Nashville to Chattanooga, Knoxville to Memphis, more Tennesseans are discovering why our infrared roasted, low acid coffees are unlike anything else on the market.

Here’s why:

  • Low Acid, High Flavor: Unlike most roasters who use flame-bed roasting, we use infrared roasting—a gentler, more precise method used by only 2% of U.S. specialty coffee roasters. This unique technology preserves the natural flavor of the beans and results in a smooth, low-acid profile that’s easy on your stomach.

  • Drink It Black: Our coffees are so naturally smooth and flavorful that most customers enjoy them black—no sugar, no creamer, no regrets. That’s a huge win for those following keto, low-carb, or intermittent fasting lifestyles.

  • No Bitter Burnt Tastes: Infrared roasting operates at lower, more controlled temperatures. That means no burnt or bitter notes—just vibrant, nuanced coffee the way it was meant to be tasted.
