"acidity" refers to a flavor note, not to the actual acid content; coffee is relatively low in acid. Its pH averages around 5.0 - 5.1, which is more neutral than beer or any fruit juice and similar to carbonated water (which contains carbonic acid as a result of the dissolved carbon dioxide). As Ukers notes in All About Coffee, if a vinegar/water solution were made within an equivalent pH, its acidity could not be detected by taste Darker roasted coffees are less acidic-both in their flavor profile and in any actual acid content.

Coffee is acidic because the caffeine in the coffee contains hydrogen ions.
