JAKARTA - People with stomach problems need to choose coffee wisely because some types of coffee can worsen symptoms such as stomach acid or ulcers.

Choosing coffee with lower acid levels, such as Arabica coffee, can help reduce irritation of the stomach, as said Barista coach PT Langgeng Makmur Kencana (LMK) Arie Nugroho.

"I always recommend people who have stomach problems to choose Arabica first, why? Because Arabica is much more comfortable to accept the stomach, the caffeine levels are also lower," he said as quoted by ANTARA.

Arabica coffee is easier to accept by people with stomach problems because of its lower acid content than other types of coffee, such as Robusta.

Chlorogenic acid in Arabica coffee has a softer nature, so it can reduce irritation in the stomach layer.

In addition, Barista, which has been in the coffee world for more than 20 years, said that the process of processing and roasting Arabica seeds, which are usually more subtle, also contributes to a more balanced and less bitter taste.

With lighter flavors and lower caffeine content, Arabica coffee is a more friendly choice for those who are acidic or caffeine sensitive, so they can be enjoyed without causing stomach discomfort.

"For example, if you've started to get used to it or want something more advanced, you can try what Robusta does, because Robusta sometimes has an effect that reacts directly on our bodies because the caffeine content is higher than Arabica," said Arie.
