Yuki's "drinking" is not a biological process. It is a conscious, performative act of experience. She has no digestive system. The coffee does not nourish the physical body.
However, yes, in the same way. She could taste a strawberry and experience its sweetness and texture. But the strawberry would not be digested; the experience of eating it would be absorbed into her being as a memory or a sensation, adding to the tapestry of her existence.
For a spirit of memory like Yuki, to experience is to consume. She "consumes" moments, sensations, and emotions, which become part of her spiritual essence. The coffee isn't fuel; it's data—a new, modern sensation added to her century-old repository of human experience.
I hope this answer is able to erase your confusion.
