Coffee can be a bit of a diuretic - makes you want to wee, not sure if it would make you want to move your bowels, that could be another reason.
Come to think of it , it could be the warmth of the drink or your body just rejecting the coffee. Does the same thing happen with Tea or other hot drinks?
What ever is normal for you is OK, some people go once a day, others once a week, still others two or three times a day, some after every time they eat.
So long as the movement is what usually happens for you , it is normal..
Everyone is different in this area.

Yes, 1-2 times a day is normal. Caffeine has a "speed" effect in a lot of ways. It's added to some medications to make them work faster, & (if you'll pardon the expression) it gives your digestive system a kick in the a**!

Caffeine is a stimulant and a diuretic, meaning it speeds up your metabolism and accelerates the kidney function.
Bottom line:
You will pee and poop more often when you drink coffee. However, you will also be adding important anti-toxins to your system. Just don't drink too much.
Yes, you may even go to the bathroom 3 x per day. It is normal.

LOL...I think you mean to "move your bowels" not remove them (ouch).
Caffeine constricts blood vessels. The liquid is what would cause you to go to the restroom more often.

No, and, it shouldn't, if you're talking #2. It does make you urinate more often though. Are you new to Coke or Pepsi? I've never had that reaction to caffeine, even after 400mg of pills. I'm willing to bet it's a contaminated or old drink that happens to contain caffeine...
Or if you meant #1.. just keep at it to build up your tolerance heh.

Yes, it is normal
FYI: Caffeine generally isn't the cause of needing to use the restroom more. More often it is the caramel in the soda...Or in the case of Dr. Pepper, they use prunes...lol
So, there you have it.
