I drink coffee every now and then when I've gotten little sleep the night before. I think it tastes great, both when it's bitter and when it's slightly sugary. But I can't help but down a bunch of water after I've finished my cup, and I was curious to know if anyone else does this.
If any nation knows how to enjoy coffee, it's the Italians.
If you order a coffee of any sort in an Italian cafe (actually, they're called bars), you normally also get a little glass of water. Some people take a sip of water first to clean their palate, then drink the coffee - if it's an espresso, usually in one mouthful - and then finish the water, but my observations led me to think that it's more common for people to drink the coffee and then the water. There is a slightly strange effect when you do this, since you get another hit of coffee taste.
If the coffee you drink is instant, then I think it's perfectly natural for you to drink a lot of water to get the nasty taste out of your mouth.
It's healthier to do that.
For example, I can't drink coffee because it accelerates my heart rate dramatically, so if I really need the boost during the day and coffee is the only thing available, I was advised to drink PLENTY of water to lessen the affects of the caffeine a bit. There's probably other benefits to drinking water after coffee, like staying hydrated since coffee makes you pee a lot, but I think that's for the people who are avid coffee drinkers.
I'm a big coffee and water drinker. And vodka. And beer. Wine if the weather is right.
I dunno, I don't drink coffee at all. When I'm tired its caffeine tabs or pre-workout which has at least 3 cups of coffee worth in there.
I dunno, coffee leaves a stinky breath aftertaste in my mouth that I don't care for very much. I drink lots of water all the time though. I kinda wanna brush my teeth, have a mint after having coffee. I will say that I do love me a venti White Mocha Frappuccino with a brownie from Starbucks, cause ya'll know I ain't no liar!
