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.
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.
