Best Answer

pH of 5. This answers is correct assuming you brew your coffee with distilled water or "pure water" as it can be referred to. However most, if not all, municipal water and some rural water systems have acidic water that comes out of the tap. even if you filter this water there may still be some residual acidic properties. Normal black coffee tends to have a pH in the range of 4.3 to 5.0
