Last update on January 30, 2025
The term "smooth" about coffee describes a sensory experience that refers primarily to the texture and flavor profile perceived when drinking it. A smooth coffee typically has a silky or creamy mouthfeel, devoid of harshness or biting acidity. It often suggests a well-balanced, easy-to-drink character with subtle, rounded flavors that glide effortlessly across the palate. This smoothness is primarily attributed to the beans' quality, the roasting process, and the brewing method, which work together to minimize bitterness and astringency while enhancing the coffee's inherent sweetness and aromatic complexity. Here are some different coffees that may have that smooth character you are looking for.
