The perceived acidity of coffee results from the proton donation of acids to receptors on the human tongue. Coffee acidity is typically a highly valued quality especially in Central American and some East African coffee. Sourness, however, is an extreme of acidity and can be considered a coffee defect. Acidity has been correlated with coffees grown at very high altitudes and in mineral rich volcanic soils. The perceived acidity of washed coffees is also significantly higher than the acidity found in naturally (dry) processed coffee. This is likely due to an increase in the body of naturally processed coffees relative to wet processed coffees since body masks the acidity in coffee. The coffee acid content in a brew is also greatly dependent upon the coffee roasting degree, type of roaster, and coffee brewing method.
The pH of a coffee has been found to correlate with the perceived acidity in coffee by Pangborn, Sivetz and Desrosier, and Griffin and Blauch; whereas Voilley et al. suggests that titratable acidity produces a better correlation to perceived coffee acidity.
The acids found in roasted coffee may be classified into three groups: aliphatic, chlorogenic, and alicyclic carboxylic and phenolic acids (Clarke, 25). Table 1 shows the main acids that have been reported in coffee.

The acidity of coffee depends on the particular roast. The level is usually between 4.7 and 5.5. Caffeine itself is an alkaline.

Coffee has hyriibicts acid
coffee is a ground acid.
coffee is a acid surprisingly
an acid. coffee is obviously acid :)
There is no such thing as acid refulx coffee. However, there is a relationship between acid refulx and coffee. How a coffee been is roasted can determine the level of its acidity, which could have a major effect on your acid reflux.
Coffee is a nuteral
Citric acid is found in citrus fruits such as lemons or oranges. If you like a bit of lemon in your coffee, then yes. Otherwise, coffee does not have citric acid unless it is added.
Acidity is an important part of the property's of coffee and different coffee's have different acidity. For more exact information on the acid property's of coffee go to the related link(Coffee Chemistry: Coffee Acidity) below.

Coffee is PH neutral. The acidic quality is a flavor characteristic, not an actual acid ph quality.
When looking to purchase low acid coffee it may be possible to do so in Toronto. Low acid coffee is advertised as being for sale on the Amazon website with free next day delivery available. There are many other websites advertising low acid or non-acid coffee for sale by mail order.
The question as phrased is nearly meaningless. However, the pH of coffee is generally somewhere between 4.5 and 6.
