When a substance is soluble it means it can be dissolved in another substance (usually water unless otherwise specified). For instance, salt, sugar, and carbon dioxide (as in carbonated drinks) are soluble in water, but oil, wood, and sand are not.

How soluble are coffee grounds in water?

I would say that we extract from the bean much like we extract from the grain in brewing but neither is soluble. Things like antioxidants, caffeine, proteins, and tannins are extracted and with malted grains carbohydrates are broken down into sugars by the very enzymes that were created by the plant during malting. So I mean protein will give body, roasting gives aroma/flavor but the cellulose plant cell structure is not soluble.


If 0.1g of a compound dissolves in 100ml of water then it said to be soluble in water Then what are the ranges to say that a compund is insoluble and partially soluble?
