08/09/06 Puroast Low Acid Coffee utilizes an innovative and sustainable energy technology to fuel its plant operations. The patented roasting system produces a low acid coffee that is 50% reduced in acid compared to other leading coffee brands. Puroast's breakthrough however has been to combine low acidity with great gourmet coffee taste. The full-bodied, smooth taste of their coffee is directly tied to Puroast's renewable energy-driven burners, which fire the roasting systems.
