Coffeehouse French Roast

Coffeehouse French Roast — Select Bean Dark Roast Low Acid Coffee

Bold, savory, and smooth — select coffeehouse beans, Puroast's signature dark roast process

• The dark roast elevated. Puroast's Coffeehouse French Roast uses select beans chosen for the coffeehouse — a step above the everyday dark roast experience. The result is commanding without being punishing, complex without being harsh.
• No oily beans. No bitter aftertaste. Ever. Oily beans are the enemy of great dark roast coffee — they carry the bitter, acrid compounds that make most French roasts unpleasant to drink black. Puroast's process eliminates them entirely.
• French press and pour-over preferred. Expect deep dark chocolate, a whisper of smoke, and a finish so clean you'll be reaching for a second cup.
• Independently verified low acid. LACCSA certified. University validated. The dark roast your stomach can finally enjoy without compromise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dark roast coffee lower in acid?

Partially, but not significantly. Dark roasting reduces some chlorogenic acid, but the pH difference in conventional coffee is minimal — both light and dark remain around pH 4.8–5.1. Puroast Coffeehouse French Roast achieves pH 5.7–5.9 through its patented slow-roast method — far higher than any conventional dark roast.

What is the difference between French Roast and Italian Espresso Roast?

French Roast is a very dark roast with bold, smoky, intense flavor. Italian Espresso Roast is roasted even darker with heavier body designed for espresso. Both Puroast staples are verified at pH 5.7–5.9 — delivering 5X less acid than conventional versions.

What is the best brewing method for dark roast coffee?

French press and pour-over are the ideal methods for Coffeehouse French Roast — both honor the bold, complex character without over-extracting. Cold brew creates an exceptional, naturally sweet concentrate. Any brewing method produces a lower-acid cup than conventional dark roast — because the acid reduction begins in the roasting process.

What pH is Puroast coffee?

Puroast Low Acid Coffee has a verified pH of 5.7–5.9. For comparison: conventional coffee is pH 4.8–5.0, orange juice is pH ~3.5, pure water is pH 7.0. Independently verified by NC A&T State University (2024) and LACCSA.

Is coffee bad for acid reflux?

Conventional coffee is hard on acid reflux because of its low pH and stimulation of gastric acid production. Low acid coffee with pH 5.7–5.9 has been shown to significantly reduce these effects. Switching to Puroast Coffeehouse French Roast — rather than eliminating coffee — is the most effective dietary change for dark roast lovers with acid reflux or GERD.

What makes the Coffeehouse line different from the standard line?

The Coffeehouse line uses select beans a step above the standard — the same quality served at Puroast's Miami coffeehouse at 632 S Miami Ave, Brickell. These 20oz bags bring the coffeehouse experience home, with the same LACCSA-certified low acid standard and Puroast's signature no-oil, no-bitterness roasting process.
