Coffee before or after Iftar?

The No. 1 question when it comes to coffee drinkers around the world during the time of Ramadan is, When should i drink my coffee? Is it best to have it before or after Iftar? 

This year, Ramadan 2025, We tackle some of the myths and here are some of the suggestions to when one should be drinking their coffee! Here are some of our suggestions on how to make the most of it during Ramadan. 🌙✨

Fasting from the early hours of the morning until sunset means adjusting your coffee routine. However, drinking it at the wrong time can leave you feeling more dehydrated or restless, rather than energized. So, when’s the best time to enjoy your brew without disrupting your fast?

🔸 Suhoor (Pre-Dawn Meal) – Not Ideal!
Coffee is a diuretic, which can lead to dehydration throughout the day. Stick to hydrating drinks like water instead.

🔸 Iftar (Breaking Fast) – Very Tempting, But Wait!
After hours of fasting, your stomach is likely to be sensitive, and caffeine can be harsh on your system. Start with dates and water before reaching for your first cup of coffee.

🔸 After Iftar & Before Taraweeh – The Sweet Spot!
A small cup of coffee can give you a gentle energy boost before night prayers without being too heavy on your stomach.

🔸 After Taraweeh – Perfect for Night Owls!
A well-timed coffee can keep you refreshed for late-night reflections—just be mindful of caffeine’s effect on sleep.

Enjoying coffee during Ramadan is all about timing and balance. So, stay hydrated, listen to your body, and sip smart! 🌙☕
