1. 7-8g Italian espresso beans

2. Appropriate amount of milk

3. 30ml chocolate sauce

Cup and Accessories:

1. Latte cup

2. Sugar packet

3. Coffee spoon

Key Points:

① Fine and glossy milk foam

② When adding chocolate, add it at the center of the cup.

No matter how mocha coffee is made, chocolate sauce, milk, and milk foam are essential. Besides these three ingredients, we can also add other auxiliary ingredients to mocha coffee to create different variations, such as: adding cream, adding syrup, etc. In today's mocha coffee making method, cocoa powder is added.

Third Method for Making Mocha Coffee

1. Pour an appropriate amount of chocolate sauce into the coffee cup, then place the coffee cup under the coffee machine brewing head to make espresso;

2. After the coffee is made, use a flour sifter to sprinkle an appropriate amount of cocoa powder into the coffee cup. This cocoa powder will float on the surface of the coffee;

3. Foam the milk. The foaming requirements for milk are the same as for latte, meaning the thickness of milk foam should not exceed 1 centimeter;

4. Pour the foamed milk into the coffee cup using the same method as making latte coffee. Of course, you can also create latte art here, such as: leaf patterns;

5. The mocha coffee is complete.

In this method of making mocha coffee, the addition of cocoa powder will make the coffee more aromatic. Because cocoa powder is mixed into the mocha coffee, the color of the coffee will be deeper than before, while the poured milk will appear whiter. The contrast between the white milk and black coffee is obvious, making the coffee presentation more beautiful.
