No, ants are typically not attracted to coffee itself. However, ants are drawn to the sugars and sweeteners often added to coffee. If coffee spills are not cleaned up promptly or if sugar containers are left open, ants might be attracted to those residues rather than the coffee. Keeping your coffee area clean and storing sweeteners properly can help prevent ant infestations.
