Can coffee color urine

Yes coffee can color urine. Caffeinated coffee is known to cause discoloration of the urine typically ranging from a light yellow to a dark amber color. Additionally coffee can have a strong odor particularly when consumed in excess. The discoloration and odor of urine can be caused by the following:

• Caffeine
• Tannins
• Other compounds present in coffee

These compounds are metabolized by the body and excreted in the urine resulting in discoloration and a strong odor. Thus drinking too much coffee can lead to discolored urine.
