The aroma of freshly ground coffee.



Body

19 05 2009

The physical feel in your mouth and the texture of the coffee. A coffee’s body is measured by its thickness due to the amount of solids and oils extracted from the coffee grinds, and it may range from thin and watery to thick and creamy.

Author’s note:
This is the most misused term in the coffee lexicon. There is nothing called full or bold body, it is a poorly used term by marketers.
