This is not true. Coffee is a mild diuretic, but the amount of water you consume along with it is way way more than the amount of water that the caffeine induces you to pee out.
If you only drink coffee you will not ingest enough water to stay hydrated. You need actual water at some point. I didn’t say its diuretic properties are the sole reason. In fact I don’t think I mentioned its being a diuretic at all!

I’m curious how far you can take this. Can you drink only espressos and still get hydrated?
Quick someone call Bear Grylls or someone.

Then i don’t understand your argument. There’s nothing stopping you from drinking as much coffee as you need to get your water
