Though caffeine is a slight diuretic, UCLA's Dr. Daniel Vigil says it hydrates. Despite flushing the kidneys and eliminating fluid, coffee doesn't cause dehydration.

Along with caffeine, coffee contains fluids. Since the body absorbs the fluid it needs and rejects excess, coffee counts as water. The Institute of Medicine recommends 9-13 glasses of water daily

In a research, casual coffee consumers drank water, low-caffeine coffee, and high-caffeine coffee. The study compared caffeine to water to diagnose dehydration.
