Review: Tyler's Coffee

If you suffer from acid reflux, many food and drinks you once loved, you can no longer enjoy. If coffee is one of those, then you might want to give Tyler's Coffee a try.


Tyler's Coffee uses a “Z-Roasting” process that optimizes the time the coffee beans are cooked and the result is high levels of caffeine and free of acid. The “Z-Roasting” system is computerized to optimize roasting time to assure that Tyler’s Coffee is acid free with maximum flavor. Tyler's Coffee uses hand-picked Arabica beans that are shipped from South America to their roasting factory in Arizona.

I was sent a packet of the Regular variety to try out. Since it was a small packet meant to brew about 10-12 ounces, I decided to make it with a French Press coffee maker. Tyler's Coffee suggests that you brew with purified water to give a cleaner taste, as simple tap water can cause an unpleasant chemical taste.

I'll be honest: I wasn't running out to the store to buy distilled water for one small pot of coffee. (I'm nuts, but not that nuts!) I simply used my PUR filtered water to make the coffee.

Upon opening the foil package, I was greeted with a nice smell of the Arabica beans. I always make fun of those commercials where they are sniffing the open package of coffee LOL - but really, some of the open packages you can barely smell the coffee, and Tyler's Coffee you could definitely smell the beans!

It was easy enough to make the coffee, and tasted alright. I didn't notice any chemical taste, so I guess the PUR filtered water was more than enough! The one thing I noticed was that the coffee tasted best that hotter it was - I walked away from my cup for a few minutes, and it had cooled down - the cooled coffee was bland and I tossed the last bit out. I don't think after tasting it cooled that this coffee would work at all as an iced coffee, but that could just be my opinion. While coffee rarely is a trigger for my acid issues, I didn't have any problems drinking this.

A week's supply of Tyler's Coffee costs $26.00, while a month's costs $60.00 with free shipping. One “Perk Pack” as the week's supply is known, will make approximately 18 cups of coffee. Personally, I think this is on the high side myself, but if you are suffering from acid reflux and are desperate for that coffee taste without the pain, then it could be worth it for you. $26 just 18 cups of coffee is out of my personal household budget.

I received a sample of the product mentioned above in order to try it out and share my thoughts on it. All opinions are my own.
