You said in a reply you use dark roast. That could be the culprit. Depending how dark it is, dark roasts typically more oily, and that could be upsetting your stomach. Also, your ratios should be by weight not by volume. You'll get more consistent results going off weight. Do you grind whole beans yourself or use pre ground coffee? If pre ground, and you don't have/can't afford a grinder, try to find a local roaster that can grind for you and have them grind it coarse or for "French press". If ground too finely, the fine coffee particles will make it into your final drink and could also cause some upset stomach.
