What are the characteristics of coffee?

This question might be asking about physical characteristics of coffee. First, coffee is a liquid. This means that it has definite volume but not definite shape. It also has the ability to fit the shape of its container. In terms of color, coffee is usually a dark brown, but the color intensity can change depending on how strong you brew it. Coffee also has a fairly low viscosity—viscosity is a resistance to flow, and coffee flows quite easily. Being that coffee is mainly made out of water, it has fairly low thermal conductivity. Notice that coffee isn't only water, though. It is a uniformly mixed liquid, which makes it a solution. If this question is asking about flavor profile, then we should talk about acidity, aroma, and body. Acidity is the tanginess of the coffee, and body is the thickness or heaviness of the coffee. Finally, coffee can range from mild to rich in flavor.
