Acidity by types of capsule coffee and recommended capsules

At some point, coffee with acidity started gaining popularity.
What exactly is coffee acidity?
Let's find out with Nespresso Professional.

The meaning of coffee 'acidity'

What does it mean by having a high acidity?

'What are capsule coffees without acidity?'
'Can you recommend me a coffee with high acidity?'

The most distinct preference in coffee taste is
the 'acidity' of the coffee. Some people only drink coffee
with strong, refreshing acidity, while others avoid sourness
and seek coffee without acidity.
Hence acidity is a crucial factor that determines
whether someone will like or dislike a particular taste.

In coffee, 'acidity' refers to its sour taste.
The stronger the acidity, the more tangy the coffee tastes.
On the other hand, lower acidity makes the coffee's body
more pronounced.

However, high acidity doesn't just mean sourness.
Acidity enhances coffee's sweetness, persistence,
and fruity characteristics.
Without acidity, it would be challenging to fully experience
the coffee's flavor. This unique trait in coffee explains
why some enthusiasts prefer coffee with acidity.

The acidity in coffee varies depending on
the origin of the beans. Beans grown at high altitudes
are particularly rich in acidity, while those from
low altitudes have less. Arabica beans, typically grown
at high altitudes, are known for their acidity.
Choosing a blend with Arabica beans will give you
a coffee with pronounced acidity.
