DIETARY INFORMATION: GLUTEN, KOSHER, AND DIACETYL
IS PEACEMAKER COFFEE GLUTEN-FREE?
Yes. Our flavored and unflavored coffee products are gluten-free. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, contact us about the specific product and any ingredient or handling questions before ordering. Also check any milk, creamer, sweetener, or other ingredients you add.
IS PEACEMAKER COFFEE KOSHER?
Yes. Our flavored and unflavored coffee products are kosher. Contact us if you need product-specific kosher information.
DO YOU ADD DIACETYL TO YOUR COFFEE?
No. We do not add diacetyl to our flavored or unflavored coffee products. This describes added ingredients, not a laboratory claim that roasted coffee contains zero naturally occurring diacetyl.
CAN PEOPLE WITH CELIAC DISEASE, GLUTEN SENSITIVITY, OR DIABETES DRINK YOUR COFFEE?
Our flavored and unflavored coffees are gluten-free, but individual needs and responses vary. We cannot promise that everyone with a medical condition will have no issues. If you have diabetes, review the specific product and any additions with your healthcare professional, and follow your usual blood-glucose monitoring plan. Gluten-free and kosher status do not establish suitability for diabetes.
DO YOUR COFFEES CONTAIN ADDED SUGAR OR ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS?
No. We do not add sugar or artificial sweeteners to our flavored or unflavored coffees. Enjoy them as brewed, or sweeten your cup to your own taste.
COFFEE TESTING AND LABORATORY REPORTS
WHAT DO THE CURRENT PEACEMAKER LABORATORY REPORTS SHOW?
Independent January 2026 reports cover selected Light, Medium, Decaf Medium, and Dark roast samples. Each reported mold below 10 CFU/g and yeast below 10 CFU/g. Results apply only to the samples and lots identified in the reports.
WHO PERFORMED THE TESTING?
The published reports were issued by Eurofins for the Peacemaker Coffee samples submitted. Each report identifies the sample, lot, analytical method, reporting limit, date, and result.
DO THE CURRENT REPORTS APPLY TO EVERY PRODUCT AND EVERY LOT?
No. Laboratory results apply only to the samples and lots identified in each report. They should not be treated as a guarantee for every bag, pod, flavor, format, future lot, or untested product.
DO THE CURRENT REPORTS INCLUDE MYCOTOXIN TESTING?
No. The currently published January 2026 reports cover mold and yeast. They do not include mycotoxin results.
DO THE CURRENT REPORTS INCLUDE OCHRATOXIN A RESULTS?
No. No Ochratoxin A result appears in the currently published January 2026 reports. Those reports cover only mold and yeast.
IS PEACEMAKER COFFEE CERTIFIED SAFE OR MOLD-FREE?
No absolute certification or “mold-free” claim should be inferred from the reports. The accurate statement is that the identified samples were analyzed, and each reported mold and yeast count was below 10 CFU/g. Coffee is an agricultural product, and results can vary by sample, lot, origin, handling, storage, roast, and testing date.
WHAT DOES MOLD-TESTED COFFEE MEAN?
Mold-tested coffee means a defined sample was analyzed for mold using a stated laboratory method. A result applies to the identified sample and lot. It does not establish results for every product, every future lot, or any analyte the laboratory did not test.
ARE THE LAB REPORTS THE SAME AS A PRODUCT CERTIFICATION?
No. They are analytical reports for identified submitted samples. They provide useful, sample-specific evidence but are not a blanket safety certification for the entire product line.
WHERE CAN I REVIEW THE REPORTS?
Open the Coffee Testing Standards page from the Peacemaker Coffee Resource Center. It explains the current scope and provides the published reports for review.
WHY ARE THE SAMPLE, LOT, METHOD, AND DATE IMPORTANT?
Those details define what was tested and help readers interpret the result correctly. Without them, a laboratory number can be mistaken for a sitewide or permanent product guarantee.
DOES ROASTING PROVE THAT COFFEE HAS NO MYCOTOXINS?
No conclusion about mycotoxins can be drawn from the current reports because they did not test for mycotoxins. Roasting, sourcing, handling, storage, and laboratory testing are different parts of coffee quality control.
IS ORGANIC COFFEE THE SAME AS LAB-TESTED COFFEE?
No. Organic certification concerns defined agricultural and handling standards. Laboratory analysis concerns a specific sample, method, date, reporting limit, and result. One does not automatically establish the other.
SMOOTHNESS, ACIDITY, AND INDIVIDUAL TOLERANCE
HAS PEACEMAKER PUBLISHED PH OR ACIDITY TEST RESULTS?
Not in the currently published January 2026 reports. Those reports cover mold and yeast, not pH or titratable acidity.
WHAT DOES “SMOOTHER” MEAN ON THIS SITE?
“Smooth” and “less sharp” describe flavor and roast-profile perceptions. They are not medical claims or laboratory acidity results. Taste varies by roast, grind, brewing method, water, and personal preference.
IS PEACEMAKER COFFEE A TREATMENT FOR ACID REFLUX, GERD, OR DIGESTIVE CONDITIONS?
No. Coffee is not a medical treatment. Individual tolerance varies, and people with reflux, GERD, allergies, digestive conditions, pregnancy-related concerns, or other medical questions should consult a qualified healthcare professional.
WHICH ROAST MAY TASTE LESS SHARP?
Many drinkers perceive medium, dark, and darker roasts as less bright or sharp than some light roasts, but taste varies. Compare the 2nd Amendment Medium Roast, Veteran Dark Roast, and Espresso Darker Roast to find the profile you prefer.
DOES A SMOOTHER-TASTING COFFEE HAVE LESS CAFFEINE?
Not necessarily. Perceived smoothness and caffeine content are different characteristics. Caffeine can vary with bean, roast, serving size, and brewing method.
CHOOSING COFFEE
WHAT IS A GOOD EVERYDAY ROAST?
2nd Amendment Medium Roast is a balanced starting point for many shoppers. Choose Veteran Dark Roast for a bolder profile, Rookie Light Roast for a brighter profile, or Espresso Darker Roast for an intense roast character.
DOES PEACEMAKER OFFER DECAF?
Yes. Decaf Medium Roast is available for customers who want a decaffeinated option. Review the product page for current formats, sizes, and availability.
DOES PEACEMAKER OFFER FLAVORED COFFEE?
Yes. Peacemaker offers multiple flavored coffee choices in available bag and pod formats. Product availability changes, so use the Shop page for the current selection.
HOW DOES THE COFFEE SAMPLER KIT HELP?
The Coffee Sampler Kit lets new customers compare multiple roasts and formats before choosing a larger quantity or regular order.
DOES PEACEMAKER SELL BULK COFFEE?
Yes. Select coffees are available in larger bag, pod, and pouch quantities. Check each product page for current size, format, price, and availability.
COFFEE PODS
DOES PEACEMAKER SELL COFFEE PODS?
Yes. Peacemaker offers coffee pods designed for Keurig-style brewers, as well as whole-bean and ground formats. Keurig and K-Cup are registered trademarks and are not affiliated with Peacemaker Coffee unless specifically stated.
WHAT TESTING INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE FOR PEACEMAKER COFFEE PODS?
The current published reports apply to the selected roast samples and lots identified in those reports. They do not establish a result for every pod, flavor, product, or future lot.
CAN I BUY COFFEE PODS IN LARGE QUANTITIES?
Yes. The Shop page lists available pod counts and bulk-value options. Review the current product listing for quantity, pricing, flavor choices, and availability.
BREWING AND STORAGE
SHOULD I BUY WHOLE BEAN OR GROUND COFFEE?
Choose whole bean if you prefer to grind immediately before brewing and adjust grind size yourself. Choose ground coffee for convenience. Select the grind option that matches your brewer when the product offers a choice.
HOW SHOULD I STORE COFFEE?
Keep coffee sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, moisture, oxygen, and direct sunlight. Close the package promptly after use and follow any product-specific instructions.
WHAT CAN MAKE COFFEE TASTE BITTER OR HARSH?
Over-extraction, water that is too hot, a grind that is too fine, excessive brew time, or an overly high coffee-to-water ratio can create bitterness. Adjust one variable at a time to find the cup you prefer.
HOW CAN I MAKE A SMOOTHER CUP?
Start with fresh water, the grind recommended for your brewer, and a consistent coffee-to-water ratio. If the cup tastes harsh, try a slightly coarser grind, shorter brew time, or a different roast profile.
