The harmony of the combination of coffee and chocolate flavors has been known for a long time. Cocoa beans and coffee beans are not directly related, but complement each other perfectly. Coffee with chocolate first gained wide popularity in Latin America, and from there the recipe spread throughout the world. We couldn’t ignore the rich taste of this drink and the variety of options for its preparation.
What is the name of coffee with chocolate?
The history of the creation of this drink is full of mysteries. It is believed that the first people who thought of mixing sweet bars and coffee beans were Latin Americans. Then the recipe became widely known in Europe.
Coffee brewed using these 2 components is called “mocha”. In Western Europe, chocolate coffee is called “moccaccino”. But here they cook it differently than in America. This product rather resembles cappuccino rather than traditional espresso.
Regardless of the name, the drink, brewed in Turk based on ground Arabica beans and cocoa product, has amazing aromatic and taste qualities.
Composition of mochaccino coffee
The peculiarity of mochaccino is that melted chocolate is added to espresso coffee. To simplify, some housewives add chocolate syrup, but this version of mochaccino will not have as pronounced a taste as the original.
In order to prepare a classic mochaccino, you need:
- milk;
- espresso;
- liquid chocolate;
- whipped cream.
Chocolate chips, cinnamon, caramel or nuts are used to decorate the drink.
Calorie content of mochaccino
One serving of the drink (~250 ml) contains 290 kcal.
BJU (in grams): 3|11|46.
Mochaccino price in Moscow and the region
Mochaccino in capsules: 660 rubles per package (16 capsules) or 41 rubles per serving.
The price per serving (~250 ml) of mochaccino in a cafe is 70 rubles.

Types of chocolate for coffee
To emphasize the exquisite bitterness of espresso, it is recommended to choose a sweet with a high cocoa content (more than 70%). Coffee with dark chocolate will turn out delicious if you brew it with freshly ground beans.
Options:
- cocoa syrup;
- cocoa powder;
- white, milk or dark chocolate;
Each bar contains a large amount of carbohydrates, minerals and enzymes. It turns out that drinking espresso with the addition of this sweetness is not only tasty, but also healthy.
When brewed correctly, you can enjoy the ceremony. Chocolate for coffee can be anything, the main thing is that it does not contain flavorings or food additives. This will ruin the taste of the cocktail.
The most common option is to use dairy. Dissolving it in hot espresso will give a creamy aftertaste. In addition, it perfectly softens the bitterness of Robusta or the sourness of Arabica.

Coffee Tips
The use of an extractor has a detrimental effect on the quality of the coffee drink. The content of fats and various substances in coffee beans that can be dissolved in water is quite high, so traditional brewing does not allow them to completely enter the finished drink. The extractor prepares coffee by subjecting the coffee beans to too intense heat treatment, which releases into the water all the substances that can dissolve in it. Their excess gives coffee a somewhat unpleasant taste and affects its nutritional quality. This drink contains much more caffeine than normal, so it can only cause harm to health. Excessive overheating in the extractor almost completely deprives the coffee of its inherent aroma.
