bodied

/ˈbɑːdid/

When used as an adjective to describe taste or texture, "bodied" is almost always preceded by a modifier like "full-bodied," "medium-bodied," or "light-bodied." It is most commonly used when discussing wine, coffee, or sauces. As a verb, it is quite rare in modern conversation and is primarily found in artistic or technical descriptions where something is being given physical volume.

This roast is way too thin. I need something more full-bodied to get through this.

Just drink it black and stop overthinking the beans.

💡
David uses 'full-bodied' to describe the rich consistency of coffee, attempting to sound sophisticated. Brian's dismissive response reflects his grumpy personality and lack of patience for David's pretensions.
