why your coffee works and oil refuses to take the hint
means Solubility is the degree to which one substance can dissolve into another to form a uniform mixture, usually how much of a solid, liquid, or gas a given solvent can hold.
from From the Latin 'solubilis,' meaning 'able to be dissolved or loosened,' built on 'solvere'—to loosen, release, or untie. That same 'solvere' gives us 'solve,' 'solution,' and 'dissolve,' all sharing the quiet image of something bound being set free. The '-ity' suffix, from Latin '-itas' by way of French, turns the quality into a measurable noun, so solubility is literally the 'loosen-ability' of a substance into its solvent.

sugar in water — approximately 200 grams dissolves per 100ml water at 20°c, making it one of the most soluble common substances
salt in water — about 36 grams per 100ml water at 20°c, the basis of ocean salinity and industrial crystallization
oxygen in water — only 8.6 mg per liter at 25°c, yet critical for aquatic life and why fish can survive
