Have you tried different brands of coffee? I would think it's more an issue with the type of coffee vs. the machine. I haven't noticed any heartburn.

Me either. There are so many brands out there. maybe you picked one that was too strong for you.

I was getting it with a light roast in the kcups. We switched to the refillable cups and added our own coffee and the problem went away. I gave up coffee eight days ago. Going to see if it helps me lose weight.

Coffee has zero calories, I'm curious, how would giving it up help you lose weight?

The heartburn seemed to have started when sampling all the various flavors. It may have started with the wild mountain blueberry or the brown sugar crumble donut flavor. I've probably just been consuming to much coffee in my zest for trying all the new flavors. It may not be related to the coffee at all.

Thanks

I am another one who refuses to skimp when it comes to real coffee creamer. I do figure in the calories though. The high fat content of creamer is a concern though. I've been hearing a lot about the benefits of coffee lately.

I should consider giving it up too, but not today. I just bought a new Keurig coffeemaker. :)

Good for you!

We only drink one cup a day each, no heartburn. We love our Keurig.

If you're going to put cream in your coffee, use heavy whipping cream. Anything else has sugar in it (any foods that remove fat, add sugar. The more fat that is removed, the more sugar is in it). It's the sugar you need to avoid, not the fats. BTW, if you LOVE coffee the way I do, you drink hot strong and black. :) I never flavour my coffee, with the exception of a 'bulletproof" coffee for breakfast.

I haven't had experience with the single-serve coffee pods, so can't give any info as to whether they might give me heartburn.

My trouble about using them is ... wallet-burn! Or, rather, too much burn of what's inside it.

ole joyfuelled ... with fuelling help from bulk-bought coffee (with cream - my self-indulgence), on occasion

Coffee has a lot of caffeine and that is bad for GERD! I have to drink de-caf and then add some cream.

I also gain weight on coffee (black) and react to certain brands. Starbucks is the worst for me. I noticed a couple of times the pods bothered me - when out - I don't have one. It wasn't the Keurig per se but the variety I had. I don't drink it often but had a binge this past week and grr, 4 lbs.

I've been off the coffee for a little over two weeks now. My weight is down 4-5 pounds. I am not having the cravings for sweets that I did and I'm not nearly as hungry throughout the day. My stomach/abdomen isn't as rumbley??? And possibly isn't as bloated??? Can't say for sure it was the coffee, but for now, it's working for me.

I just returned from emergency because I have had continuously worsening heartburn for the last 2 months.As I was driving home , with a strong drug for acid blocking, I tried to think of what had changed in my diet recently. I am 72 years old and never ever had heartburn until.........I bought a Keurig coffee maker a few months ago.....I wondered if that could be the cause..... looked it up when I got home... WOW seems to be a common complaint for many !

Are you drinking more coffee with the Keurig? Or flavored coffees that you didn't in the past?

Keurig makes two refillable K-cups that sell for about $15 each. Make sure you know which style your Keurig needs. That way you have the convenience of the Keurig with the flavor of your favorite coffee that you were drinking before you go the Keurig. You can buy those refillable K-cups directly from Keurig, or on Amazon, or at other retailers.

I found my refillable K Cup filters at Walmart for 4 dollars..off brand but they work well.

Yes, I've had the same experience, which is how I found your post. I've tried all different flavors, and it just seems to be the formulation of coffee (maybe not the finest, freshest coffee in the land). I have also read through other sources that dark roast can have less acid than the lighter roasts, which seems counterintuitive to me. We got rid of our Keurig a couple of years ago, and have found a viable reduced acid coffee and decaf whole bean that works for us. Back to the French press, which is not as convenient, but it's much more delicious.

Nope, I've been drinking Peet's dark roast decaf for several years.

Here's a warning about those acid reducers, as we get older ours stomach produces less acid. Low stomach acid causes the pyloric sphincter to not open when food enters the stomach. When the pyloric sphincter doesn't open properly, food is pushed back into the esophagus resulting in heart burn symptoms. I take digestive acid pills with meals and no more heart burn symptoms. Why does this matter? Because many nutrients cannot be absorbed without high enough acid levels in the stomach. So most people that take acid reducers have nutritional deficiencies not related to diet.

You can buy the refillables at Target, Walmart and I see them at Dollar Tree too. Not that it makes a difference to me, haven't had a Keurig brewed coffee that I could drink. I suspect it could be (at least partly) because people never clean them. NASTY! It's as bad as people using reusable straws. Just the thought of it makes me gag. People must be reverting to their nursing days is all I can figure.

add a bit of baking soda to the coffee being brewed

The cup holder pops out for an easy weekly cleaning.
