    If water did not absorb then the makeup of the human body would be very different. 
    Humans would be too heavy to walk.  The world would be different, coffee might not be important.

    There are some common liquids around that might work. Milk maybe..

    Milk has water in it.

    Yes.. but milk is a different liquid than water. You could use tomato juice -long as it is not water.
    Pure water just will not work when 11th November is a Saturday.

    The three lightest alcohols in their pure forms. Methanol, ethanol and propanol. Only ethanol is drinkable, though. Acetone might also work, but it is undrinkable. This post was edited by Element 99 at November 11, 2017 8:13 AM MST

    Would make pretty interesting tasting coffee.

    Just get a bottle of 'Everclear' and dip your teabag in.

    Club soda!  Okay, I know there's water in there but it doesn't have water in it's name and that's what counts today, Saturday, November 11, 2017.

    If all else fails, I would try Kahlua or Bailey's Irish Cream.

    Kahlua and coffee would taste kind of like a cappuccino.
