Organic Coffee

It could be stale. Does it smell funny? Was it already ground when you bought it? I watched a program about coffee a few years ago and it said that many coffees are stale before they reach the store shelf. I agree with this because I've been a huge coffee drinker all of my life. If you buy the whole bean coffees and ground them up at home yourself, they are usually fresher than if you buy it already ground up. Personally, I've found that ground up Folgers is fresher than other national brands. I prefer Tim Horton's coffee (I've never been disappointed with Horton's). I would take it back to the store and get a refund.

Probably not the "organic" but just that it's a different type of coffee. Some coffees have a much higher acidity than others. Those give me a stomach ache too.

I LOVE organic coffee... never had stomach problems. I think either the roast you bought was too strong, or the company grinds coffee in old machines or it was in the bag too long, that sort of thing. The brands I've bought are Bucks County of Pennsylvania (my favorite). Also Whole Foods has a brand that's good too.

Is the coffee you normally get organic? Sometimes I find that when I purchase the organic foods they can upset my stomach more, perhaps because I am use to the gross additves / chemicals that are in the foods? If you are not used to the organic perhaps making your coffee a little weaker might help until your system gets used to this brand.

How dark was the roast? I know that a darker raost will upset some stomachs.
