Many coffee shops and restaurants serve a glass of cold water with coffee.
We'll tell you what to do with it.
Why do they serve water with coffee?
Water added to a cup of coffee serves several functions.
Firstly, restoration of the sensitivity of taste buds.
Since coffee has a very rich taste, the receptors quickly stop picking up the subtle notes of the drink.
By alternating coffee with water, you cleanse the receptors and restore their sensitivity.
Secondly, protection of tooth enamel. Coffee contains substances that contribute to its darkening.
By washing down your drink with water, you prevent these substances from settling on your teeth.
Thirdly, drinking water with coffee is good for the gastrointestinal tract.
Drinking a glass of water after coffee can help prevent heartburn.
In addition, drinking water along with coffee helps avoid pressure surges.
