my breath smells like ass. Not like coffee, even if I’ve had French Vanilla or something, I can actually smell my breath and it’s not a good thing! I don’t know if it’s some interaction with my sinuses or just a java thing, but damn! Thank god for Trident.
I can smell the coffee when I pee. That’s right, you heard me. When I’m standing at a urinal, I can smell the coffee when I pee.
Thankfully, I don’t drink coffee that often, I’ve seen too many co-workers with the tan (I’ve-been-drinking-coffee-for-years) teeth and am somewhat phobic about that. Hot chocolate, OTOH… I’ve got a great marketing idea, and I want some royalties should this go public: flavored hot chocolate. I always add French Vanilla or Hazelnut or Swiss Almond Mocha to my cup o’chocolate…yum.
In the holiday spirit of sharing, what’s your admittance?
Um…I just poured myself a fresh cup. And I have to say that despite the whole bad breath/urine odor thing, I’m going to enjoy it down to the last drop because it is so unbelievably, mind-numbingly cold here that I need all the warmth I can get.
To be honest, I’ve never noticed any coffee odors in the bathroom. But you’re johnny-on-the-spot about the bad breath. My mother’s best solution for coffee breath was…you got it. More coffee.
If I could get my hands on some hot chocolate–I’d be one happy little icicle. Yum.
I remember reading somewhere that you should never brush your teeth and then drink coffee (although, why would you?). It will stain your teeth faster. I only drink coffee at home, and before I brush, I’ll rinse my mouth with peroxide. I’m paranoid of getting stained teeth.
Naturally, 15 minutes after getting to work, I have to piss like a racehorse, but I never noticed a recycled coffee smell. Now, if I had onions the night before, well buddy, that’s a different story. I’ll smell those onions loud and clear when I pee.

Now, anyone reading this who drinks coffee, smokes, and doesn’t eat breakfast…do your friends and co-workers a favor and get some mints or chew some gum. Pee-yewzephah, that is a powerful stink coming out of your manky mouth.
Coffeebreath is why I keep a bottle of mouthwash in the car and the desk drawer (apart from the bottle at home), as well as mints, gum and the ubiquitous Altoids in the car, the desk and the purse.
(Oh yeah, and a toothbrush and toothpaste in the desk and the glove compartment. Amuses people to no end when I am at a stoplight, brushing my teeth. Deal with it!)
