 Essentially, ' mocha ' means a type of good quality coffee that is made from a specific coffee bean. The beans are from the plant species called Coffee Arabica. How it tastes ? It is said that a mocha tastes like a chocolatey coffee . Whilst this is true, a mocha is so much more than that. Where the espresso shot offers an almost bitter taste, the chocolate combination creates a sweetness to create a velvety smooth, luxurious beverage.    How to make it  ? Shot of espresso is combined with a chocolate powder or syrup, followed by milk or cream . It is a variant of a latte, in the sense that it is often 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk . However, a chocolate flavour is added, and this can be milk or dark. Should I try ? It is coffee drink, topped with a small amount of foamed or steamed milk to allow the taste of the espresso to still shine through. A macchiato is perfect for those who find espresso too harsh in flavour, but a cappuccino too weak .
