How to fix sour tasting coffee

I posted on the topic of  “Why does my coffee taste sour?” a few weeks back with an explanation and video about “WHY” you have sour coffee.

So today, here is a follow up article on “HOW TO FIX SOUR COFFEE” taken from a recent email from a client.

One of our long time clients from coastal Texas wrote that one of our coffees she was trying tasted sour. Knowing our roast profile [for that coffee] is a medium roast and not a blond roast, I responded with this email (below). She followed my recommendations and responded:

Sandy,

Thank you for getting back to me! All I needed to do with the coffee was increase the amount of grounds. Delicious! I can’t thank you enough for your coffee!

Gwen
That said, here’s the original email with directions you may find useful yourself:

Hey Gwen,

Thank you for your business and satisfaction with our coffees!
On the sour notes you are getting from the decaf, I can only make a few suggestions.  We do sell a lot to shops and individuals and have never had any issues with sourness.  
Sourness can be caused by an under roasted bean like I described in the video. But that is normally a blond roast which we never do.  To get a sour tasting coffee you release it from the roasting drum very early in the roast, before what we call the “second crack”.  On all of our coffees we use the second crack (400º) as the benchmark or point from which we start the countdown to finishing the roast. Decaf, most Latin American coffees are finished about 30 seconds to one minute after the second crack with our particular roaster.  African coffees are taken to about 1-1:45 after the second crack and French Roast 1:45+.
We drink it at home occasionally and serve it at social functions here we attend and taste it regularly and again we don’t get that sour note.
First off, I don’t doubt you are getting that but let me offer some suggestions to see if this helps fix the issue:
  • Try boosting your amount a tad.  For a 10-12 cup coffee maker we usually use ½ cup ground or 6 rounded tablespoons. For a pour over about 17-22 grams. If you are using less than that, you could be getting an “under-extracted” brew: Too much water not enough coffee.
  • Some brewers make coffee faster (larger hole in the brew basket) and this causes the water to pass through the ground coffee too fast. Again the solution there is use a little more coffee to compensate.
  • Our grind could have been off. We use the same grinders everyday but our flavored coffee grinders are used separately and cleaned after each use. The decaf would have been ground in the other grinders we use for non-flavored coffees…everyday. It is possible we could have had that grinder set for a coarser grind like French Press for another customer and failed to reset it to drip.  That would be unusual, but it could have happened.To check that simply put a tablespoon of the flavored grounds onto a white plate and next to it put a tablespoon of the decaf.  A coarser grind on the decaf will be obvious.  If you see that let us know and we can replace it on your next order.
I hope that helps.  Let us know what you discover and we will do what we can to make it right.
Thank you for your support of our family owned business!
Sandy

Synonymous with "strictly high grown (SHG)", "strictly hard bean (SHB)" usually refers to coffee grown at altitudes higher than about 4,500 feet above sea level.

Beans grown at high altitudes mature more slowly and grow to be harder and denser than beans grown at lower elevations. The inherent consistency and taste attributes of high grown beans makes them more desirable, and generally more expensive, than coffees grown at lower elevations.   

Low Acid Infrared Roasted Coffee: A Healthier Brew Backed by Science

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee morning coffee

Discover Why Toomer’s Coffee Roasters Is the Best Choice for Health-Conscious Coffee Lovers

If you’ve been searching for the healthiest coffee for acid reflux, gut health, or chronic inflammation, you’re not alone. Coffee lovers everywhere are turning to low acid, infrared roasted coffee as a smarter, stomach-friendly alternative to traditional brews.

At Toomer’s Coffee Roasters, we believe your daily cup should do more than energize—it should elevate your wellness. Thanks to advances in roasting technology and growing scientific evidence, it’s clear: low acid coffee that’s infrared roasted may offer powerful health benefits, from supporting heart and liver function to reducing the risk of diabetes.

☕ What Makes Infrared Roasted Low Acid Coffee So Special?

Not all coffee is created equal. Traditional high-temperature roasting often results in bitter compounds and sharp acids that can trigger acid reflux, bloating, or gut sensitivity.

That’s why Toomer’s uses infrared roasting, a cleaner and more controlled method that:

  • Reduces harmful acids

  • Preserves natural antioxidants

  • Eliminates burnt, bitter flavors

  • Delivers a smoother, low acid coffee experience

Our low acid coffee beans are easier on your stomach—while still rich in flavor and full of health-boosting compounds.

✅ Health Benefits of Low Acid Coffee Proven by Science
(See citations below 👇)

 

1. Supports Healthy Blood Sugar Levels and Reduces Type 2 Diabetes Risk

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee blood sugarHarvard and UCLA researchers found that coffee increases SHBG (sex hormone-binding globulin), which helps regulate blood sugar and hormones.

🧪 One large study found that increasing coffee consumption by just 1.7 cups daily led to an 11% lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Why it matters: Our low acid coffee is gentler on digestion, making it a better choice for people managing insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.

2. May Lower Risk of Parkinson’s Disease

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee parkinsons diseaseA U.S. study confirmed that higher coffee intake correlates with significantly reduced Parkinson’s disease risk. Even more compelling: caffeine helped improve motor function in those already living with Parkinson’s, according to McGill University.

✅ Infrared roasted coffee like ours delivers these neuroprotective effects without triggering the jitters or stomach irritation often associated with traditional roasts.

3. Protects Liver Health and Reduces Liver Cancer Risk

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee and liver cancerItalian researchers reported a 40–50% lower risk of liver cancer in regular coffee drinkers. Other studies show that coffee helps prevent cirrhosis, even in people who consume alcohol.

☕ Even low acid decaf coffee may support liver health by reducing enzyme levels—proving the benefits extend beyond caffeine alone.

4. Promotes Cardiovascular Health

toomers coffee roasters low acid coffee cardiovascular healthCoffee in moderation can lower the risk of heart failure. A study from Harvard and Beth Israel showed that 2–4 cups of coffee daily reduced heart failure risk by 11%.

❤️ Our specialty grade low acid coffee provides these cardiovascular benefits without increasing blood pressure or palpitations—a common problem with high-acid blends.

5. Other Emerging Health Benefits of Low Acid Coffee

Scientific research continues to explore how coffee may:

  • Reduce chronic inflammation

  • Support healthy gut microbiome

  • Protect against colorectal cancer

  • Reduce risk of multiple sclerosis

  • Extend overall longevity

Toomer’s gentle infrared roasting process makes these benefits more accessible—especially for those with sensitive stomachs or inflammatory conditions.

🌿 Why Choose Toomer’s Low Acid Coffee?

We take pride in crafting coffee that’s not only delicious but healthier for your body. Here’s what sets our roasts apart:

  • ✅ Infrared Roasted – cleaner heat means fewer acids and bitter compounds

  • ✅ Low Acid – smooth on the stomach, gentle on digestion

  • ✅ Antioxidant Rich – preserves natural polyphenols and health compounds

  • ✅ Keto and Fasting Friendly – no sugars, no fillers, just clean coffee

Whether you follow a low acid diet, are managing GERD or IBS, or just want better coffee, Toomer’s is your go-to source.

About Infrared Coffee Roasters

Roastmaster, Sandy Toomer
Each coffee has a unique personality based on the altitude, soil and rainfall. Infrared roasting in small batches allows each coffee’s personality to surface.

Toomer’s Coffee is extremely proud when we share that we use the unique and superior infrared roasting technology exclusively in production of our craft roasted coffees Here’s why.

Infrared coffee roasters are so phenomenally superior to other conventional coffee roasting methods there was never any question what machine we would use.

This puts Toomer’s Coffee Roasters in a unique class of specialty custom coffee roasters as it is estimated that only 2%* of all coffee roasted uses this higher-standard processing method.

BACKGROUND: A comparison of more traditional methods

Many people today are enjoying Toomer’s Coffee without stomach sensitivity due to our low (ph) acid coffee (not to be confused with the “acidity” flavor characteristic).

One of our regular on-line buyers today, a heart surgeon from Texas commented during a visit to Auburn for a football game (War Eagle! by the way baby…), that ours was the only coffee that didn’t upset his stomach. Let me add, that’s not an unusual comment we hear either.

Here’s why…

During the typical commercial roasting process natural acids are produced that can produce heartburn sensations and upset stomach to some with sensitive stomachs.  However this need not be so.

Typical commercial roasters run the coffee along a conveyor belt system and blow hot air from a gas flame manifold beneath them.  Kind of like some hamburger chains cook their hamburgers.  Another is to simply tumble them in the gas flame heated hot air like a commercial dryer used at the cleaners.

Both of these types of roasters tend to “burn” the bean causing an unevenness in the roasting process that does not fully remove these acid producing compounds.

THE DIFFERENCE IN TOOMER’S COFFEE

The vast majority of coffees available today, even most specialty coffees are roasted in the manner described above.

As I said earlier, our less common (rare?) infrared roasting technique is only used by an exclusive class of roasters,  approximately 2% of all specialty coffees produced.

Here are a few other remarkable improvements our infrared roaster produces in your daily cup:

  • Sandy in front of his favorite roaster!

    The beans increase in temperature quicker than those roasted by hot air. Studies have shown that compared to conventional roasting, infrared roasting showed less increase in radicals on the bean during and after the roasting process.

  • Highly noticeable was the consistent formation of brown colored compounds showing the bean was uniformly heated and never burned.
  • The infrared roasted beans had a quick increase in the internal temperature and thus suffer from less damage on the surface.
  • The study also revealed a uniform and quick decrease in moisture and showed the beans undergo uniform heating even at the core.
  • Even more noteworthy were the changes in the contents of citric acid, malic acid and formic acid that are naturally found in the bean. When monitored and compared to conventional roasting, infrared roasted coffee beans showed changes from an earlier stage. As the roasting proceeded, the infrared roasted coffee beans contained these acids in a smaller amount!
  • Not surprisingly, the content of aroma compounds were found to be 25% more than that of conventional roasting, and when tested was found to carry the same standard to the cup. The taste from the extract of hot air roasted coffee beans was similar to most conventional roastings, while the extract of the infrared roasted coffee beans was different from them (i.e., weaker acidity) leading to a better coffee without a bitter taste.

THE BOTTOM LINE: WHY OUR COFFEE IS BETTER

One of the reasons Toomer’s Coffee is a regional favorite we owe to our consistent quality of finely (infrared) roasted coffees!

 

Infrared roasting is the superior method to roast coffee.  End of discussion.

Our Diedrich Infrared roaster heats the coffee faster, more uniformly and at relatively lower temperature than conventional hot air/flame roasters.

The result is a low-acid, pleasant cup that is consistent bag to bag year after year.

Try us!  You’ll taste the difference right away!
