SHOULD WATER BE DRINK BEFORE OR AFTER COFFEE? Why are the glass of water and the coffee served at the same time?

 When we enter a café, we are always given water before the coffee.

 There is a reason behind this practice. Water is used to cleanse the tongue which allows you to better savor the tastes of foods that are ingested later, but it is also used to cleanse the taste buds of flavors you do not like.

The small glass of water and the coffee ar  served  at the same time, but to enjoy a good coffee, the water should be drunk first.

Although it is customary to drink water before coffee, whether you do so still or sparkling is a matter of preference. Science, however, offers a suggestion that clarifies the distinction. The sparkling water's bubbles would aid in better rinsing the tongue of the flavors and scents of the previous meal. The taste buds may be slightly anesthetized if their effect is too severe.

Instead, using natural water, which is more delicate, would provide a complimentary taste of coffee.
