It turns out drinking 4 cups of coffee a day for a few decades isn't great for your esophagus.

Anecdotally and subjectively drinking coffee can trigger reflux but yerba mate (another source of caffeine) did improve digestion.

coffee doesn't have to be scalding hot, or even hot at all to be enjoyed.

even cold decaf coffee causes reflux.

Now I'm wondering if my excessive tea consumption might be related to my reflux problems. This discussion is giving me a lot to think about.

I thought it was a reference to PH, not temperature?
