The Mocha coffee is a delicious combination of espresso, chocolate, and steamed milk — creating a drink that’s rich, smooth, and comforting.
It’s a perfect choice for those who love the boldness of coffee with a touch of sweetness from cocoa.
Inspired by the flavors of Yemen’s port city of Mocha, this drink has become a staple in cafés around the world.
🧂 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 shot (30 ml) espresso
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder or chocolate syrup
- 120 ml steamed milk
- Optional: whipped cream or chocolate shavings for topping
- Optional: sugar to taste
🛠️ Equipment
- Espresso machine or moka pot
- Milk steamer or frother
- Coffee cup or mug
- Spoon for stirring
👨🍳 Step-by-Step Process
1. Brew the Espresso
Prepare a fresh shot of espresso and pour it into your mug.
The espresso provides the strong base that balances the sweetness of the chocolate.
2. Mix in the Chocolate
Add cocoa powder or chocolate syrup to the espresso.
Stir well until the mixture is smooth and fully dissolved.
If using cocoa powder, you can add a splash of hot water or milk to help it blend.
3. Steam the Milk
Froth or steam the milk until it’s hot and slightly foamy (around 60–65°C / 140–150°F).
The milk should be creamy, not overly airy — you want a smooth, velvety texture.
4. Combine and Stir
Pour the steamed milk into the espresso-chocolate mixture.
Stir gently to blend everything together into a silky, rich drink.
5. Add Toppings (Optional)
Top your Mocha with a swirl of whipped cream, a sprinkle of cocoa powder, or a few chocolate shavings.
This step isn’t just for looks — it adds extra sweetness and aroma.
💡 Tips for the Perfect Mocha Coffee
- Use high-quality cocoa or real chocolate for deeper flavor.
- For extra richness, try dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
- Don’t overheat the milk — it should be warm and silky, not boiling.
- You can adjust sweetness by adding honey, sugar, or flavored syrups (like caramel or hazelnut).
- For an iced version, use cold milk and ice cubes instead of steaming.
