To
be accurate, coffee cannot be considered an acid or a base per se,
since coffee is ultimately a complex mixture of compounds. Coffee (i.e.
brewed coffee) is acidic, largely due to the presence of chlorogenic
acid. However, that's a different thing altogether from describing
coffee as an acid or a base, which are terms normally attributed to
single molecules or compounds. So, to clarify, acetic acid is an acid;
sodium hydroxide is a base; lemon juice is acidic; semen is slightly
basic

Answer:
most coffee varieties are acidic, with an average PH value of 4.85 to 5.10 (2). Among the the countless compounds in the beverage, the the brewing process releases nine major acids that contribute to its unique flavour profile.
