Question

Is coffee acidic or basic?

Answer 1

• The$\mathrm{pH}$ scale measures the acidity and basicity of a solution.
• The scale has a range from $0$ to $14$ points.
• Any solution with an $\mathrm{pH}$ of $0$ to $6$is considered acidic whereas $8\mathrm{to}14$ is considered basic and at $7$, it is neutral.
• Coffee has a $\mathrm{pH}$ range of$4.85$ to $5.10$.
• It means that coffee is acidic in nature.

Hence, coffee is acidic in nature.
