Mocha Coffee (Cafe Mocha)

Mocha Coffee (Cafe Mocha) is one of the oldest coffees, with a history that traces back to the origins of coffee. It is a mixture of Italian espresso, chocolate sauce, fresh cream, and milk. Mocha derives its name from the famous port of Mocha. In the fifteenth century, when the entire Middle East and African coffee countries had underdeveloped transportation industries, Yemen's Mocha was the main export port near the Red Sea. At that time, as long as coffee was concentrated at the port of Mocha for export, all African coffee was collectively referred to as Mocha coffee. Although emerging ports have replaced the status of Mocha port, the coffee origins from the Mocha port period have been preserved, and coffee beans from these origins are still called Mocha coffee beans.

Meaning:

Sitting in a coffee shop, flipping through menus, and browsing coffee magazines, you will inadvertently encounter many instances of "Mocha." Although it's just the simple word "Mocha," it carries multiple meanings.

● Coffee Beans: The earliest Mocha coffee beans referred to a type of coffee bean exported from the port of Mocha in Yemen. Originating from Ethiopia in Africa, it is the most acidic among all coffees. Mocha coffee is also known as "Ethiopian coffee."

● Coffee: When used for flavored coffee, Mocha refers to hot coffee with added hot chocolate and fresh cream, because the original meaning of Mocha is chocolate.

● Coffee Pot: In terms of coffee brewing equipment, Mocha refers to an exquisite and compact Moka pot, which is a pot that uses steam to quickly extract coffee. This pot is known for its varied designs.

The Moka pot was introduced in 1933. Its structure has remained unchanged, but its appearance and materials have continuously evolved. The earliest Moka pots were made of aluminum, but aluminum easily reacts with acidic substances in coffee, producing undesirable flavors. Later, they gradually changed to stainless steel and even partially to heat-resistant glass.

The Moka pot consists of upper and lower parts that are joined together by rotation. The lower part of the pot is a water chamber with a safety vent near the top. Above the chamber is a filter filled with small holes for holding coffee grounds. The upper part of the pot is a lidded container with a handle for holding the brewed coffee liquid. Below the container is a filter screen with a rubber ring. In the center is a hollow metal tube that allows coffee to spray and permeate through.

When brewing coffee with a Moka pot, first fill the lower chamber with water, but do not exceed the safety vent. Then fill the filter with coffee grounds. The filters are carefully sized by experts, so there's no need to measure the amount of coffee grounds - simply fill the filter. Then, join the upper and lower chambers and tighten them before placing on heat for brewing.

The Moka pot belongs to the category of coffee brewing equipment that uses high-pressure steam extraction. It has the characteristics of small size, elegant appearance, simple operation, and rapid brewing, making it very suitable for home use. The coffee brewed by a Moka pot is also called Mocha coffee (Mocha). Although it's not true espresso, it can be described as doubly strong coffee.
