A solute is a solid that can dissolve, and a solution is a solid that has dissolved in a liquid. Since ground coffee beans are insoluble, coffee is neither a solute nor a solution. Instead, coffee is considered a mixture of dissolved extracted taste and aroma substances from the coffe beans.

A coffee solution is a homogeneous mixture of water and coffee particles, while a milk solution is a homogeneous mixture of water, fat, proteins, and sugars. When combined, they form a homogeneous mixture of all components, known as a homogeneous mixture.
No, coffee with milk is not a solution. It would be considered a suspension because the milk can still separate after some time has passed.
Yes, a mixture of chocolate syrup and milk is a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the substances are evenly distributed and do not settle out. In this case, the chocolate syrup dissolves in the milk, creating a uniform mixture.
Just pure black coffee is a homogeneous mixture if it looks like its one entity (no little particles of sugar floating around, streaks of cream, etc.) basically if it looks like a solution (a mixture that seems to be made of only one thing) then it is a homogeneous mixture.
Yes, milk is a colloid, not a solution. It is a mixture of proteins, fats, and water, with the proteins and fats suspended throughout the water.
An example of a homogeneous mixture is saltwater, where salt particles are uniformly dissolved in water to create a single-phase solution.
