How to Make a Mocha | Perfect Coffee

My name is Mike Jones, and I'm a barista at Third Rail Coffee right by Washington Square Park in New York City. I'm going to teach you some basic coffee-making skills.
Alright I'm gonna show you how to make a Cafe Mocha. Now all this is, is basically a latte or cappuccino with chocolate in it. So you start off with a high quality cocoa. Something that's not too sweet is nice, but just a little bit of sugar so that the cocoa flavor mixes well with the espresso.
In a cafe environment we would take a lot of this cocoa powder and mix it with hot water and have syrup pre-made. But as far as making one drink its easy to just start off with the powder and add a little bit of hot water in there. And then stir it up to make a syrup. Then I'm actually gonna pull the espresso directly over the chocolate, stir it again and then pour just as if with a cappuccino or a latte. So I'm gonna get the shot ready, and the milk and then we'll pour.
Alright, so we pulled the shot right over the chocolate and we;re just gonna incorporate that together.
And then again, our into the same as with a latte. And we'll do a nice Tulip on this one. Alright, that's a Cafe Mocha.

For all of you whom don't have a machine to make these: I made mine with a bold coffee (from a coffee machine). I poured the coffee into my cup, added my homemade chocolate syrup (cocoa powder, water, sugar and a splash of vanilla, simmered to a syrup) to the hot coffee and stirred. Then I added my frothed half and half milk which I frothed with a frother sold by Amazon, which makes it just as frothy as you get in a coffee house. Turned out fantastic!! Great video. Thanks!!

Hi Mike, thanks a lot for the recipe. I ended up with a perfect concoction but, after a little addition of my own. I recommend adding a pinch of salt to the cocoa powder before adding the water to it. It removes the bitterness and makes the final product kind of subtle.

The cocoa powder is fine if you're in a hurry or on the go. But if you want a great quality cafe latte, use a real chocolate, like a Lindt bar or any chocolate that breaks into pieces. Pull your shot directly onto the chocolate and gently stir to incorporate. Pour in your steamed milk and enjoy.

So the only one differs with latte and cappuccino is that add some chocolate powder into espresso. Pretty easy!

[@Steven205]

No a cappucino is 1/3 of each ingrediant. Espresso/Steamed milk/Froth milk. A Latte usually consist of a 2:1 ratio of Steam Milked: Espresso. Any additives or flavor is usually done before you pour the espresso in.

[@zanel9542]

+Steven Martinez thx!

[@zanel9542]

+Steven Martinez Oh I thought steamed milk was frothed milk. So they are two different milk?

@@zanel9542 steamed milk is just steamed milk. Frothed Milk is steam milk first then frothed.

First time trying Cocoa Mocha Latte today. It's like the perfect mix of hot cocoa and chocolate. But it's not great with a donut, too much sugar and thiccness. I'd prefer a donut with a cup of water.

[@theredlord6178]

You are so damn right my friend!!

[@laubra5227]

The way me and my chef dad make it A pot Whisk Milk Hot chocolate powder Coffee(ground or instant) (And I like to add salted caramel syrup) Method: Heat up the milk in the pot, when it starts to steam put in about 1 and 3/4 tablespoons of hot chocolate powder, then add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of coffee, whisk until dissolved. Pour into mug Optional: when in mug add 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of salted caramel syrup and stir with a fork Hope this interests some people. P.S. I don't like my coffee to strong but if you do you could probably add a bit more coffee

[@vilkoskorlich259]

Drinking a cappuccino at the end of lunch or dinner, or worse still, together with one of those meals Waiters at bars in cities across Italy have been known to refuse to serve tourists asking for the mistimed beverages. You can order one before noon, or simply forget it. “The cappuccino is the meal,” “The only food you can have it with is a croissant - that you eat at the bar in the morning.”

[@reema2629]

do you know what does mocha mean ? Its a name of a city in Yemen that was the marketplace for coffee (coffea arabica ) from the 15th century until the early 18th century. The coffee itself did not grow in Mocha, but was transported from places inland to the port in Mocha, where it was shipped abroad.

[@musicsdarkangel]

Guys. It’s a “vibe ting”. You want the calming atmosphere of jazz with your coffee. I’m as much of a Slayer fan as anyone, but let’s be honest; you don’t want Angel of Death playing while you sip your coffee and read. Nor do you want Justin Bierber, Ariana Grande, or any of the hipster crap that you’re secretly into these days. You want jazz or calm reggae, even if you don’t know it yet. Finally, a coffee shop must appeal to all ages. JAZZ, MAN. Not hipster grande slayer bullcrap.

How much powder did you use in the video? And by cocoa powder, like unsweetened cocoa powder?

[@emmaa1079]

I wonder the same thing. But I’ve determined he must mean hot cocoa mix because cocoa powder doesn’t have any sugar in it and he said “a high quality cocoa that’s not too sweet, but just enough sweetness to mix with the espresso” I wish he would have said exactly what he used.
