A mocha coffee (or caffè mocha) is a delicious fusion of rich espresso, steamed milk, and chocolate syrup, creating a harmonious balance of sweetness and espresso intensity. It’s perfect for those who enjoy the depth of espresso but with the creamy sweetness of chocolate.
If you’ve been wondering how to make mocha, this recipe offers a simple yet indulgent way to enjoy the drink at home, without needing to visit your local coffee shop. For those who like to experiment, you can even adjust the mocha drink by using white chocolate or adding extra flavors like hazelnut syrup.
1. Brew the espresso using your Artkoff EM625 or EM653 espresso machine.
2. In a small saucepan, heat the chocolate syrup or cocoa powder with a bit of milk until smooth.
3. Pour the chocolate mixture into your coffee cup, then add the brewed espresso.
4. Steam the milk to around 150°F (65°C), and pour it into the cup, stirring to combine.
5. Optionally, top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a café-style touch.
Mocha Recipe vs Other Coffee Drinks
The mocha recipe stands out for its chocolatey richness, which separates it from other espresso drinks like lattes or cappuccinos. A latte is made with espresso and steamed milk, while a mocha combines espresso, milk, and chocolate syrup for that signature sweet flavor. Curious about the difference between mocha vs café mocha? Both use chocolate, but café mocha is often made with a higher ratio of milk and foam, making it a creamier version of the classic.
