There is a debate among coffee lovers and experts on the topic of drinking coffee with water. Should I drink coffee with water or not? Let's figure it out!
Drink with water or not? If not, why not? And if you drink it with water, then how to do it correctly?
1. A sip of water before coffee
It's true. You can drink some water before a cup of coffee to flush out your taste buds and enjoy the drink to the fullest. This is especially recommended if you have eaten something sweet before (chocolate, candy, waffles). Because the cocoa butter in these products coats the mouth and you won't be able to feel all the subtle coffee notes.
2. Alternation of water and coffee
When drinking a cup of coffee, it is better to alternate sips of coffee and water. This is more about professionals than coffee lovers. For example, this is used for campaigning (tasting new varieties of coffee). Water helps to cleanse and renew taste buds. For casual coffee drinkers, this fluid change will also help them taste the coffee drink again.
3. Non-classic coffee should be washed down with water
It is customary to drink Viennese coffee with water to kill the rich taste of whipped cream, and Turkish coffee to remove the bitterness in the mouth after a strong drink.
But the Italians do not understand why wash off the coffee aftertaste, if you can enjoy it for another half hour.
: if in Honduras you are served water for coffee, it means something like the following: “Our coffee is disgusting, sorry, you will have to drink it”.
4. Balance
Nutritionists claim that coffee inhibits the absorption of food in the stomach. Therefore, a glass of water afterwards is necessary to restore balance in the body.
5. Coffee contains diuretics
Be sure to drink water to avoid dehydration. It is recommended to drink an additional amount of water per standard 250 ml cup. A pronounced diuretic effect is possible if you have not drunk coffee for a month, and then drank 3 cups in a row in one gulp. But when you drink coffee regularly, you won't be dehydrated.
6. Coffee should be washed down with water so that the teeth do not turn yellow
The color of tooth enamel depends on many factors, but the effect of coffee on it is minimal. Unless you drink it in liters and forget to brush your teeth.
On the contrary, Brazilian scientists have found that black coffee without added sugar, milk or other additives is a natural antiseptic. The polyphenols in its composition kill “carious monsters”.
