How to make a mocha latte in an expresso machine?
I received a Expresso machine for Christmas and have been trying for 2 days to make a mocha and mine just do not taste right. How do I do it and what is the best type of coffee to do so? Please Help
Use espresso beans, have them ground very finely at a specialty store (like a Starbucks), ground for espresso. Steam your milk first, have it ready before you pull your shots. Make sure that you tamp your espresso hard enough in your portafilter that when your espresso shots are pouring into the shot glass, it takes about seconds to complete. Mix these shots immediately with a few tablespoons of whatever you are using for chocolate, and add your milk. Mix well. Add whip cream if you like.
For a 16 oz beverage, I use: 3 tablespoons chocolate, 2 shots espresso and then fill with milk.
I use espresso grounds.
then I get chocolate syrup squirt some in cup
prepare espresso add to chocolate sauce, then add hot milk
I usually do 1/2 hot milk 1/2 hot espresso and a good shot or two of chocolate.
