Why Add Baking Soda to Coffee?
If you’ve ever found your coffee too acidic or harsh on your stomach, a surprising solution lies in your pantry—baking soda! Coffee, especially darker roasts or certain brewing methods like French press or Turkish coffee, can be quite acidic. This acidity might cause stomach discomfort or a sour aftertaste. A small pinch of baking soda can help neutralize this acidity, creating a smoother, more balanced cup that’s easier on your stomach and your palate.
How Baking Soda Improves Coffee
Baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, is a natural alkaline substance known for its ability to balance pH levels. When added to coffee, it reacts with the acidic compounds, reducing their impact. This simple addition can soften the bitter edge of your brew, enhance the flavor by reducing sharpness, and make your coffee milder overall—ideal for those sensitive to acidic foods and beverages.
