Often you will hear coffee lovers talking about Body, and it often appears in the cup test table. So what does Body mean? Body is the taste that we experience when drinking coffee, and it is also the body that we mention in our mouth,"the weight of a drink or the fullness felt by the taste buds." Body is one of the elements of taste, but it is not highly reproducible. Maxwell Colonna-Dashwood writes in his book,"Sometimes a thick taste is not a very full-bodied taste, but a juicy taste can also give a high-bodied taste." So Body is not a signature taste that our taste can taste, but a feeling. But its presence affects the overall taste of a cup of coffee, because coffee flavor is the product of a combination of many factors-taste, aroma, texture, and perhaps even sound and vision.

Dissolution rate of Body

If we want to highlight the taste perception of Body, we must discuss extraction, which is also the process of extracting compounds rich in flavor and aroma from dry coffee powder and dissolving them in water.

In the extraction process, substances are roughly divided into soluble and insoluble. Soluble substances are those that can be diluted in water; insoluble substances are solids and oils, substances that remain suspended in liquid and cannot be completely dissolved in water, and substances such as protein molecules and fibers of coffee. It is these substances that do not dissolve completely in water, especially oils, that enhance the body of the cup of coffee.

This mellow, with red wine tasting commonly used texture description can also be, according to bald Du's understanding of this should be called mellow texture is more accurate, this is a very difficult to describe the specific words, just like lemonade to the tongue weight feeling is relatively light, coffee with milk is relatively heavy, but compared to plain water, then lemonade will have a relatively heavy feeling, so this is a relative description of the feeling of the word. Coffee body refers to the saturation and weight of coffee in the mouth. It has something to do with concentration, but it depends more on other factors. Strictly speaking, alcohol is a measure of how well the nerve endings in the mouth feel to coffee. "Alcohol" should be distinguished from "concentration." Concentration is the percentage of the amount and type of soluble components in coffee. Concentration gives coffee taste, while alcohol gives coffee taste. Of course, under the same conditions, the concentration will increase and the concentration will decrease. Therefore, these two concepts are not too easy to explain clearly. Simple understanding, mellow includes concentration, but concentration does not represent mellow.

The body comes from the stickiness of the coffee in the mouth. Some people like the taste of high stickiness, while others like the taste of clearer and cleaner. In fact, coffee and tea or red wine in the delicate taste of many are interlinked, texture (Texture) in wine tasting is very important, refers to the liquid in the mouth touch, coffee taste mellow texture caused by those coffee liquid fat content of oily substances, adjectives such as velvety (velvety), silky (ly), waxy (waxy) and so on are to describe the mellow texture of coffee.
