DavidoffAcidityAcidity is a highly-desirable quality in coffee, referring to the degree of flavour in the cup of coffee. In fine coffees, acidity results in a pleasant sharpness or brightness. Acidity refers to the coffee’s flavour and, similar to describing acidity in wine, is assessed as lively, moderate, flat or dull. All good coffees have some acidity, but to a varying degree. The darker a coffee is roasted, the more its acidity dissipates. Palate acidity is the brightness of flavour. Without it, coffee tastes flat and dull. Coffees with good acidity taste bright and crisp. |
