Stomach friendly coffee. Stomach friendly coffee??? We're not saying we've never been bothered by drinking maybe 10 cups of coffee and feeling a bit of acid in our coffee laden stomachs - but from one cup or two? Never. We'd rather have great tasting coffee and a bit of weirdness in the stomach over some stomach friendly - not so great tasting coffee. Perhaps Simply Smooth from Folgers will have great taste too. Only time and a happy stomach will tell.
Proctor & Gamble is introducing "Folgers Simply Smooth", claiming to be the first nationally available stomach-friendly coffee in the United States. They say that some 35-40 million Americans have decreased or eliminated their coffee consumption due to weak stomachs. So, what makes it stomach-friendly? They say they use a special selection of coffee beans, and then roast it under a carefully monitored process. When the beans reach a certain color, they halt the roasting process and this is supposed to reduce the levels of gastric-irritants.
Folgers Simply Smooth will be available in medium-roast regular and decaffeinated varieties beginning in May 2006 at mass merchandisers, grocery and drug stores nationwide. We'll definitely try this our in our Keurig Reuseable Filter or our Eco-Pad for Senseo when it debuts.
Interesting. However, I think I will *simply not* purchase this. I buy my food, beverages and condiments for taste and am willing to accept whatever slight discomfort they may bring. However, what coffee does is negligible compared to the aftereffects of the Chinese chili sauce I had last night :)

I have tried this coffee and I love it. It does not leave me with an upset stomach. For people with sensitive stomachs it is great. Where can I get it close to where I live. None of the grocery stores where I live carry it...

You guys are lucky...I have stomach probs and I can't drink coffee at all, even decaf (and I used to be a Starbucks fiend)...so I may give this a try.

I love this coffee. I have had stomach problems for years and could never drink any type of coffee but it is great on the stomach.I can see people not buying it if they don't have stomach problems, but there is no flavor difference and for people with serious stomach issues it is wonderful!

I am a very big fan of Euromild. I have tried several stomach friendly coffees and have found Euromild to have the best taste.
