Is it normal to poop after drinking coffee?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes—coffee can get your bowels moving, so needing to poop after a cup is very common. Caffeine may play a role, but even decaf can have the same effect for some people.

Coffee can stimulate activity in your colon, and the warm drink itself may help nudge things along. Your gut can also respond to eating or drinking with a natural “time to go” reflex, so the timing after coffee isn’t unusual.

If it’s just a normal bowel movement, there’s usually nothing to worry about. People vary: some feel the effect quickly, while others can drink coffee without any bathroom urgency.
