What makes mouthfeel important is how dramatically it can cause a person to react to a food or drink, despite the taste.

I recently took a bus trip to New York City to visit our cafes
and baristas down there. While the trip is always totally worth it, I couldn't help but grumble at the necessity of being ON the bus at 5:30am. No time for breakfast. No time to make coffee. Good thing I packed my trusty picnic basket...
