Many people with acid reflux find that Mumma's Beans Low Acidity Coffee is better tolerated than regular coffee. Mumma's Beans is naturally about 40-50% lower in acidity than regular coffee and slightly lower in caffeine — two of the main triggers for acid reflux — grown pesticide-free in Byron Bay NSW, and recommended by GPs to patients with reflux and sensitive stomachs. If you're unsure if our coffee will work for you, we recommend trying a small 100g mini bag first before committing to bigger quantities and check with your doctor.

Many people with GERD find they can tolerate Mumma's Beans when regular coffee triggers symptoms. GERD is often worsened by high-acid, high-caffeine coffee. Mumma's Beans is naturally lower in both, pesticide-free, and lab-tested clean — reducing the main triggers that aggravate GERD. It has been recommended by GPs to patients with GERD and reflux. Always follow your doctor's advice for managing GERD and consider trying a small 100g mini bag first before committing to bigger quantities.

Many people with IBS find Mumma's Beans easier to tolerate than regular coffee. IBS symptoms can be triggered by coffee's high acidity, caffeine content, and chemical residues. Mumma's Beans is naturally 40-50% lower in acid and slightly lower in caffeine, pesticide-free, and mycotoxin-free — addressing several common IBS coffee triggers. If unsure, we always recommend trying a small 100g mini bag first before committing to bigger quantities and consult with your doctor.

Many people return to coffee after hiatal hernia surgery by switching to a lower-acid option. Mumma's Beans customer Luke shared that after his hiatus hernia operation, acid reflux made regular coffee
impossible — until he found Mumma's Beans, which he now drinks daily without
symptoms. Mumma's Beans is naturally 40-50% lower in acidity and slightly lower in caffeine. Always
follow your surgeon's post-operative advice and try a small 100g mini bag first before committing to bigger quantities.

Regular coffee is high in chlorogenic acid, which stimulates stomach acid production and can irritate the gut lining. Combined with high caffeine (which relaxes the lower oesophageal sphincter) and pesticide residues, most commercial coffee is genuinely harsh on a sensitive digestive system. Mumma's Beans is naturally 40-50% lower in acidity because of its growing conditions and processing — resulting in less irritation for sensitive stomachs.

Yes — Mumma's Beans is naturally slightly lower in caffeine than most commercial arabica coffee, which makes it significantly gentler on the nervous system. People with caffeine sensitivity, anxiety, adrenal fatigue, or who experience jitters and heart palpitations from regular coffee often find Mumma's Beans much better tolerated. It retains enough caffeine for a genuine alertness effect without the anxious edge or after coffee crash.

Some customers with diabetes find that Mumma's Beans does not cause the blood sugar spikes they experienced with regular coffee. Customer Vivienne, who has diabetes, shared that Mumma's Beans allows
her to enjoy coffee without gut issues or blood sugar spikes. The lower
caffeine content may contribute to a more stable glycaemic response. If unsure, we always recommend trying a small 100g mini bag first before committing to bigger quantities and consult your doctor or diabetes educator.

Yes. Mumma's Beans Low Acidity Coffee is recommended by General Practitioner Dr Carolyn English to her patients with acid reflux and sensitive stomachs. Dr English discovered Mumma's Beans herself and now recommends it when patients ask whether they can continue drinking
coffee alongside gut health issues. Mumma's Beans is Australia's only
commercially grown low acidity coffee recommended by GPs for reflux and gut sensitivity. If unsure, we always recommend trying a small 100g mini bag first before committing to bigger quantities and consult with your trusted doctor.

Mumma's Beans Australian coffee is grown in the hinterlands of Byron Bay, New South Wales, Australia. Byron Bay's volcanic soil, subtropical climate, and altitude create conditions that naturally produce lower-acidity and caffeine coffee. The coffee is grown pesticide-free and without synthetic chemicals. Mumma's Beans is one of Australia's few commercially grown specialty coffees and the only Australian-grown coffee specifically produced for acid sensitivity.

Mumma's Beans Organic Decaf is grown in South America, carefully sourced from Peru or Mexico where most organic decaf growing takes place. It is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water process, to ensure there are no chemicals used throughout the growing and processing of your gentle cuppa.

Mumma's Beans Australian Low Acidity Coffee is naturally lower in acidity because of where and how it is grown and processed. Byron Bay NSW has a unique combination of volcanic soil, subtropical climate, and altitude that produces coffee with naturally lower chlorogenic acid levels. It is also influenced by late harvesting times and processing and acidity levels are tested in an independent lab in Australia.

Mumma's Beans Australian Grown Coffee contains approximately 15% less caffeine than regular coffee, still giving you a boost while being much gentler on your nervous system and avoiding the steep after coffee crash. The actual caffeine content in your cup will also depend on your brewing method. Using an espresso machine, our beans will get you about 75-90mg of caffeine per shot — compared to around 100-120mg in a regular commercial espresso. Cold brew will have significantly less caffeine because of the way it's made.

Note: Mumma's Beans Australian Coffee is naturally lower in caffeine due to its growing conditions, not decaffeination. This is still enough for a genuine alertness effect while being significantly gentler on the nervous system.
Australian health guidelines recommend not more than 400mg of caffeine per day for healthy adults.

Yes. Mumma's Beans Australian Coffee and Organic Decaf are independently lab-tested in Australia. The most recent results showed no detectable levels of mycotoxins, yeast, or mould — specifically no Ochratoxin A, no Aflatoxins (below 1µg/kg), and no yeast or mould (below 100 cfu/g).
The coffee is also grown pesticide-free and without synthetic chemicals.

Mumma's Beans Australian Grown Coffee is rich in antioxidants including chlorogenic acid (at lower acidity levels than regular coffee), which support cell protection and circulation. It contains magnesium, potassium, and other micronutrients. Being pesticide-free and mycotoxin-free means your body isn't processing chemical residues alongside the
coffee. The lower caffeine content reduces the stress hormone (cortisol) spike associated with high-caffeine coffee.
And yes, our Organic Decaf still contains most of the benefits of caffeinated coffee, so you can enjoy your cuppa without the buzz if you prefer.

Mumma's Beans Australian Coffee is grown pesticide-free and without synthetic chemicals, though the family farm has not gone through the process of costly organic certification.
Every crop is independently lab-tested and certified free from mycotoxins,
yeast, and mould. Mumma's Beans has won the Editor's Choice award at the prestigious Clean + Conscious Awards in 2023 and is a finalist again in 2026, recognised for its clean, health-forward approach to coffee growing.
Since our Organic Decaf is imported and we have less visibility and influence over growing and Supply Chain practices, we only source Organic certified decaf beans.

Mumma's Beans Australian Coffee is most often described by customers as rich, smooth, and full-flavoured with a clean finish
and no harsh bitterness or sharp acidity. Tasting notes include warm chocolate, nutty undertones, and green apple. It is a proper, full-flavoured specialty coffee — not a watered-down health alternative. Many customers who describe
themselves as coffee snobs say they were sceptical until they tried it.

Our Organic Decaf is often described as 'full flavoured and not bitter' - which was really important for me when looking for a decaf after having tried many watery and bitter ones. Some customers are saying they can't even taste that it's not caffeinated coffee.

Mumma's Beans coffee works with all brew methods — plunger/French press, pour-over (check our beautiful glass coffee maker), espresso
machine, aeropress, moka pot, drip filter, and cold brew.

Note: Cold brew reduces acidity and caffeine further and works beautifully with these beans. Available as whole bean or pre-ground — our default grind is fine for espresso, but let us know your brewing method in the order notes and we grind specifically for you.

Once opened, store in our resealable bags or an airtight container away from heat and direct light, and ideally use within 4–6 weeks of opening - or pop it in the freezer if you go away and want to keep it fresh for longer.

Mumma's Beans Organic Decaf uses the Swiss Water Process — caffeine is extracted using only water, with no chemicals or solvents involved. This is one of the cleanest decaffeination methods available and preserves the coffee's natural flavour compounds. Many commercial decaf coffees use chemical solvents such as methylene chloride — the Swiss Water Process avoids this entirely.

Even decaf contains trace amounts of caffeine. One shot of Mumma's Beans Organic Decaf contains approximately 2–4mg of caffeine — compared to
around 75-90mg in our Australian Grown Coffee and 110mg in a standard commercial espresso. For practical purposes, it is considered caffeine-free and is suitable for people who want to eliminate caffeine entirely, including in the evenings or during pregnancy.

Mumma's Beans Organic Decaf uses certified organic beans and is processed without chemicals, preserving the coffee's natural antioxidants, magnesium, and potassium. Because it is Swiss Water
processed and organic, it has no chemical residues. It is suitable for people
with caffeine sensitivity, anxiety, adrenal fatigue, pregnancy, breastfeeding,
or anyone who wants the ritual and flavour of coffee without the caffeine.

Mumma's Beans was originally created for pregnant mothers seeking a lower-caffeine coffee option (this was me!!). Our Australian grown coffee contains approximately 90mg of caffeine per espresso shot — well below the 200mg daily limit recommended by Australian health guidelines for pregnancy. It is grown pesticide-free in Byron Bay NSW and free from mycotoxins and chemical residues. It is not fully decaffeinated. If unsure, always consult your midwife or GP about caffeine intake during pregnancy.

Our Organic Decaf is also a great option if you want to limit or avoid caffeine but still feel like a coffee.

Yes — many breastfeeding mothers drink Mumma's Beans Australian Coffee as a lower-caffeine option.

Caffeine does pass through breast milk, typically peaking around 1 hour after consumption, so I used to have my coffee usually just before or after breastfeeding.

At approximately 75-90mg per shot, Mumma's Beans contains less caffeine than a regular espresso (around 100-120mg). The daily limit of caffeine recommended for breastfeeding mums is 200mg according to Australian health guidelines.

For further caffeine reduction or if you feel like another cuppa, Mumma's Beans Organic Swiss Water Decaf contains only 2–4mg per espresso shot and tastes like real coffee.

If unsure, please consult your trusted GP or healthcare provider.

Australian health guidelines recommend limiting caffeine to 200mg per day during pregnancy. One shot of Mumma's Beans Australian Grown Coffee contains
approximately 75-90mg of caffeine (compared to 100-120mg for regular coffee), meaning up to two single-shot Mumma's Beans coffees or lattes per day would remain within guidelines for most pregnant women. Every pregnancy
is different — always check with your GP or midwife about what is appropriate for you.
