Very unlikely.: Coffee and caffeine that is in most coffee is unlikely to cause any appendix problems. It can cause other stomach and cardiac problems but not this.Enjoy another cup on me.

No: Coffee does not cause appendicitis. Three cup of american coffee a day is ok, it may cause some GI symptoms and sleep disturbances.
