Why is coffee served with dessert?

The bitterness of coffee is a natural counterpart to the sweetness of dessert. But there is a scientific explanation as to why these two flavors are often served together. The same process that makes you feel awake from drinking caffeine also decreases your sensitivity to some tastes, including sugar. Because of this, drinking caffeinated coffee could make you more likely to eat more dessert.
