Coffee is a diuretic, but I don’t know if its the caffiene. Other caffeine drinks don’t make me have to use the bathroom soon after, like coffee does. It’s not giving diarreah, it’s just moving things along.
Typical tea has around 50mg of caffeine. Typical espresso based drink has 2 or 3 espresso shots at around 65mg each. Plus milk, which a bunch of adults can’t digest to at least some degree.
so you’re in luck i know way too much about my gut. i can test for part of the gut but i’m missing much of mine. the parts i have, black coffee accelerates transit around 33% (reduces by 1/4). Short version, it stimulates peristalsis to a degree that tea does not. If you would like specific numbers I’m going to need a day or two.

It may be the quantity, energy drinks do it too.
Maybe its the temperature of the coffee too.
i drink my tea that hot, it does not do it. coffee does.
