Strength is a feeling, the feeling of coffee in your mouth! It is the combination of viscosity, weight, or bad feeling that the tongue can feel. The ideal coffee consistency range, such as the difference between complete milk and water. The strength of the coffee we feel is based on the complete extraction and dissolution of its oil during the cooking process.

Coffee with a solid taste can still maintain a high proportion of flavor after the milk is dilute.
