I really thought I'd read something about 'when it's hot you're sipping more than gulping, so you're swallowing more often and swallowing starts some muscle mechanics chain that helps your intestines push food out'. Similar to feeling you need to go when you've started eating.

Counterpoint of 1 - for me, a morning Red Bull has the same deuce-inducing result as coffee. Both have higher amounts of caffeine than a Coke.

I drink cold coffee whenever possible and don't notice a difference there.

Morning coffee = poop Any coffee after = no poop

Not sure what that means here..

Someone got to experiment with hot solids and report now.
