Does coffee count towards daily water intake?

Not really: Because if you're drinking enough coffee to add up to a great deal of fluid, you are using too much caffeine drink 16-32 oz of free water daily

Not on equal basis: The caffeine in your coffee effects your kidneys directly and promotes water loss. If you are caffeine free, it is more or less equal.
