[BazBean]

Serious one guys..

since i started home roasting the mrs has developed an upset tummy (with the obvious results, sorry but serious question) the morning after every time she trys a coffee? to the point where she has decided to pass on my lovely cuppas.
anybody have an idea as to why this may be happening? drinking b4 degassed for example?

she swears this is not an excuse to spare my delicate ego and feelings as she genuinly likes the tastes on offer ??? please, please help if she is not addicted how da heck can i upgrade with impunity ??? (gulp)

I've had heartburn from some types of coffee in the past, so I just tend to avoid them. That said, I'm currently about as unhealthy as you can get.

Dom, I can get a problem when travelling if I have only coffee inside me. I have also experienced some slight issues with extremely freshly roasted coffee (nothing like as bad as you appear to be eluding to), so I now always make sure all coffee roasts are three days old before I touch them, which supports your degassing thought.

Coffee is not good on an empty stomach for sure.

Interesting Quentin, as water tends to settle my stomach if I just have one too many shots. Had never thought of it consciously before.

do you often make a point of thinking about things subconsciously then?

Caffeine is a naturally occurring xanthine, and acts as a respiratory stimulant and nervous system stimulant. Well recognized side effects include increased gastro-intestinal activity! As with any drug, the degree of sensitivity will vary from person to person. However, the average espresso contains 30-50mg caffeine/oz (ie 60-100mg/double). Many cups of instant contain as much or more caffeine, so if Mrs B's problem was being caused by the caffeine you would expect a similar reaction to other forms of caffeine. Doesn't answer the question I'm afraid, but here endeth the lecture on caffeine pharmacokinetics

There are some people who are alergic to coffee, of course we do not acknowledge the existence of these people so no one is alergic to coffee.

I think they are called $bucks customers.
