Is coffee acidic?
Using the pH scale to determine, most coffee varieties have an average pH value of 4.85 to 5.10 which is acidic.
The brewing process releases nine major acids listed from highest concentration to lowest: chlorogenic, quinic, citric, acetic, lactic, malic, phosphoric, linoleic, and palmitic, that contribute to its unique flavor profile.
However, these factors, “roasting”, “brewing”, “ground size”, play a role in coffee acidity variations.
Roasting . . . Both roasting duration and temperature determine the acidity of coffee Studies showed that the longer and hotter coffee beans were roasted, the lower their chlorogenic acid levels.
Cold brewing . . . cold-brewed coffee has significantly lower acidity than hot coffee.
Ground size . . . The smaller the ground, the greater the surface area exposed relative to volume, which leads to more acid being extracted in the brewing process.
Darker roasts are lower in acidity than lighter roasts which tend to be higher in acidity.
A shorter brewing duration resulting in a more acidic beverage than a moderate duration resulting in a lesser acidic one.
Therefore, using a finer grind will result in a more acidic cup of coffee.
The roasting duration, brewing method, and fineness of the grind are several factors that contribute to coffee’s acidity.

Check out this restaurant marketing guide to learn more about the many campaigns and companies we have worked with.
Since then, we have also created many marketing workshops and classes for the F&B industry. Many of these modules are still running in tertiary institutions such as Temasek Polytechnic Skillsfuture Academy and also ITE College East COC classes, below are some snippets of our lectures and workshops:
