Here’s a twist: coffee isn’t carbonated, but coffee drinks sometimes are. Cold brew, nitro coffee, or those fancy espresso tonics are pumped full of nitrogen or carbon dioxide.
That silky, cascading foam? It’s full of gas. Drink a nitro cold brew, and you’ve basically invited a tiny, fizzy party into your belly. The burp after is just the guest leaving early. Bye, Felicia!
The Temperature Trouble
Hot coffee forces you to sip fast to avoid scalding your tongue—but also makes you swallow air. Cold coffee? You might chug it like it’s a reward for surviving a Zoom meeting.
Is It Normal For Coffee To Make You Poop
Either way, temperature extremes mess with your digestion. Hot liquids can relax your esophageal sphincter (that little muscle door between your throat and stomach). When that door gets loose, burps escape more easily. It’s like leaving your front door open during a windstorm.
