I have also been a coffee connoisseur for most of my life until I lost my stomach due to stomach cancer. I was told not to drink coffee, decaf or regular as there was an acid that the lack of a stomach could not deal with correctly.
After a couple of years dealing with that loss of something I really enjoyed, I read a Bariatric Website bulletin that explained it. Dry roasting brings our five acids in various amounts. One of those particular acids was the culprit and shazam, Air Roasted coffee had little of that one acid. As the other acids remain, the taste is not impacted in my opinion.
I bought a small bag of what they had and sure enough it was something I could deal with. I happened to know an entire coffee line from my home town that was Air Roasted.
The Roasterie Coffee Company is exclusively air roasted and I used to buy it in Kansas City all the time and I knew blends of theirs I already liked. (They have dozens). I ordered a couple of pounds and problem solved. I still do black tea about 60% of the time but now I can have coffee again.
Of course, this article is dealing with dry processing, not the final roasting process, but there might be someone for which this is a useful find.
I had a point in life where I traveled five days a week. I would be in the same hotel the whole week and at that time I traveled by car most of the time. I would grind good coffee in perc grind and take an electric percolator my grandmother gave me in 1970. I would start it at 5:30 by a timer I brought with me and wake up to that old style percolator coffee smell pervading my whole room.
One hotel in particular had the staff tell me they loved it as that whole half a floor had a great smell each day.
I am a little bit of a coffee snob but I do think that is a pretty decent coffee.
Wonderful to know there is a coffee option available to you. Cheers to another satisfying cup of java!
There is a variety of coffee known as Indian Monsooned Malabar, which is known for its low acidity and full body. There was a particularly wonderful crop produced this year. They even had decaf available for a short time. The decaf old out quickly.

Amazon has both -
Thanks; I’ll have a look, and at some of the reviews. Might even get the Kona Blend, just for a try.
What grind do you get?
The finer the grind — Turkish is my choice — the more flavor.
I once subscribed from a client of mine who imported Costa Rica coffee the best coffee I have ever had. $30 a pound, and two pounds a month. I now drink Folgers Breakfast blend. It’s not as good as the other. The Costa Rica has little acid taste and better flavor, but the dood went to prison (importers of coffee tends to also import other things). I don’t miss it, and Folgers has been fine.
You're welcome. And good luck!
It's certainly a very drinkable cup of coffee, IMO.
I loved Gevalia’s Cafe de Oriente. But they dropped it maybe ten years ago. Several people complained, and their answer to me was something stupid like wanting to give customers a wider selection. Gevalia’s Dark Royal Roast isn’t too bad, but doesn’t compare do Cafe de Oriente.
Wow, definitely bookmarking this thread. I was hoping it would generate some interest and we’d get lots of great tips for buying, grinding, brewing, etc., good coffee. And did we ever! Thanks to all.
BTW, did anyone ever watch “Dangerous Grounds?” Kind of gimmicky, but it kept me tuned in every week. The gimmick was that the host would travel to sketchy parts of the world to score what he thought were some of the best coffee beans in the world. Supposedly, you couldn’t get these beans anywhere else because few people were willing to risk their lives just to get a truckload or two of rare beans.
It only comes in one grind.
Anyone who wants to try something different. Try Bulk Supplements guarana extract. 1/5 teaspoon = 1 cup of coffee. It is 100% water soluble.

Coarse, espresso, Turkish?
I’d regrind to Turkish, as the more surface exposed to water, the greater the flavor.
It’s much finer than their Columbian. I’m old enough to remember when all supermarket coffee was sold in fine grind for drip coffee makers, and regular grind for percolators.
Does anyone use those Italian coffees / cans or airtight packages/ in Italian food stores?? Our Italian professor said Italian coffee was better than any over
