Looking for Decaf, Acid-free coffee

Kava was the name of an acid-neutralized coffee, however, I recall their commercial specifically stating it had the caffeine.
Maybe they made decaf Kava?

Define "acid". I mean simplistically you could use pH strips. Acid and perception vs free H+ ions. Stomach irritation is not from acid, that much I know. Not saying it's the problem here.
Does she take half and half or heavy cream?
My wife gets irritated by coffee, and tried your route. She just drinks tea now.
I cold brew my favorite coffee and it produces way less acid. Never heard of acid-free coffee before, thought all had some in it from the hot extraction (drip, press, pour-over etc.) process. Guess they can do all sorts of things with it these days.
I have to wonder, maybe it is time to give up coffee if you cannot tolerate caffeine or acid?
Not sure if it’s good but here’s an option.

Etching the teeth away?
I liked this as a mild coffee.
I recall My dad would put eggshells and apple slices in the percolator back in the 1960's

I used soda crackers or egg shells to neutralize the acid.
Tyler's is what she uses now. Thanks for jumping in.
Since the stomach can drop to approx 1.5 pH naturally. I don't get the acid free coffee thing unless between meals.
I only seem to have acid issues when I (over) consume a traditional Italian meal with pasta and marinara a couple nice super Tuscans and a coffee.

I agree with roofless, why bother drinking coffee when you strip it of everything that makes coffee, coffee? Not all decafinated coffee is all that good for you, they remove the caffeine but use a process (chemicals) that is equally harmful to you, or worse.
My mother drinks a coffee substitute, something made from chicory root IIRC. It's actually not bad in terms of taste either, gives you that similar bitter flavour. I rememer drinking it for about a year, after the first month on it and no coffee you can almost convince yourself that you're still drinking coffee (or maybe I'm just more easy to please).
Something like this?

AFAIK, Kava is reduced acid.
I have this issue. Found the best fix for it was apple cider vinegar. Mix it will a little water and drink it down, my acid reflux goes away almost instantly. Hate the taste of the stuff by itself but the results are worth the horrible taste.
