Mild, bold, full-bodied.... what does it all mean?
Does it all have the same amount of caffeine (besides decaf of course).

Your question brought a smile to my face.
My deceased grandmother used to make instant coffee...Folger's.
And when she made coffee, she had fairly small cups. She would use a heaping tablespoon of coffee and of course, boiling water. Well, now, you talk about full-bodied...I don't know about that, but I know it was strong enough to walk over and slap the stew out of you. Bless her heart, she did love strong coffee. Not everyone shared her love, LOL
But in answering your question, my impression of mild is just a hint of coffee flavor. The bold might be somewhere close to full-bodied, so I can't tell you if there is a difference or not actually.
I don't think it has anything to do with the caffeine as far as the descriptions go, because you could have strong coffee, and still be lower in caffeine.

I think it refers to strengh and taste. Like mild is milder tasting and a weaker strengh of caffeine..full bodied is a stronger taste and strengh.. Like dunkin donuts coffee would be mild while starbucks i full-bodied.
