In this case, it is an old cupping term that refers to the degree of flavor in your coffee. For example, you would consider a coffee “flat” if it had a low acidity score.

Nothing beats the aroma of freshly ground coffee, and that aroma, in coffee bean form, can tell us a lot more about the coffee than when it’s in the cup.

Instead, when we say body, we mean the sensation of fullness or heaviness in your mouth when you take a sip (Please let it cool a bit first. There is no coffee term for burnt body). \u003cbr\u003e As with all coffee terms, it is both relative and subjective. Body tends to increase in lighter roasts (up to full city) and decreases as the roast gets dark and oily.
