Usually, in many places, a glass of water is brought along with coffee. Serving water with coffee has not only tradition-related reasons, but also very important reasons in terms of health and taste.

It helps to experience the taste and clear the throat

Drinking water before or immediately after coffee allows to neutralize the strong bitterness of this drink and fully enjoy its unique aroma. Water cleanses the oral cavity and throat from the taste of previous food, as a result of which a person feels the true taste of coffee more clearly. Also, since the caffeine in coffee can cause dry mouth, drinking water helps to balance this condition and eliminate the unpleasant taste.
