Not silly... that is called mouthfeel or body. For example, a Guiness Stout beer has heavy body a Bud Light is crisp and has light body. IMO its best to try 'Single Origin' coffees starting out.. basically meaning from one country. I would suggest trying a Sumatra - they are bold, smooth, heavy bodied or a Colombian which are milder and pretty easy drinkers. Find a roaster in your area and give them a visit!
