I wonder if this could help explain why creatine helps mitigate the effects of sleep deprivation. Since creatine aids in water retention.

Mix your cheap instant coffee with creatine powder and ORS for that ultimate early morning flavor bomb!

The mechanism of creatine isn't that straight forward.

You need to take it for a while for it to build up, and for water to accumulate in cells.

It would also be disgusting in a cup of coffee!
