Yes and no. It's a much-loved and widely believed story that coffee is an appetite suppressant, and some people believe it helps them to lose weight. The truth is more nuanced: yes, drinking a cup of coffee can temporarily cause a loss of appetite by filling up your stomach, but the word to remember is "temporarily"-- it doesn't last very long, and drinking too much coffee can make a person anxious and jittery, due to the caffeine that coffee contains. But if you are asking whether there is a medical condition where coffee itself causes loss of appetite (not temporarily, and not intended to help a person lose weight), I have not heard of such a condition. I am sure there may be some people who have an allergic reaction to caffeine, but usually a loss of appetite is caused by other factors, and if you are not interested in eating, or cannot eat, I doubt coffee is to blame. You may want to see your doctor and have a physical exam to find out the actual cause and get the proper treatment for it.
