Exactly Is a Mocha?
When it comes to coffee, the term "mocha" is a little confusing because it has a couple of meanings. One
meaning
of
mocha is a type of coffee bean, as well as the coffee brewed from this bean. But in coffeeshop parlance, a
mocha—also
called a caffè mocha or mochaccino—is a coffee drink flavored with chocolate.
Mochas can be made either with brewed coffee or with a shot of espresso. They can also use either chocolate
syrup,
chopped chocolate pieces, or cocoa powder, as I do in my version here. Mix in milk, top with whipped cream,
and
you have
a mocha!
