I am somewhat addicted to coffee and was researching on all the different methods, but when i got to the mokka pots i was surprised to se that it said it made espresso! Quite confused, i percolated ~i know bad pun…~ over how you could make espresso without an espresso machine!!! so i figured there must be something different betwen the two! Please help! Or this will drive me insane!!
OOOOOPPPPPPSSSSSS!!!!!! excuse my stupidity i meant mokka like whatever it is that comes out of a mokka pot. not a mocha as in a chocolate cappuccino/latte thing. SORRY!!!

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an espresso machine. I can’t seem to get a mocha latte even close to coffee shop quality. I realize it will never be precisely the same, but does someone have any suggestions on making it better, i.e. mocha powder, mocha syrup, type of espresso, etc.

Thanks!

I admit, I am a little addicted to Starbucks, but these past few days I’ve been spending a lot of money on coffee, so I wanted to know how I can make homemade cappuccino and homemade mocha like the one from my favorite coffee shop!

Oils and coffee grounds can easily build up in your espresso equipment, spoiling to rancid, and clogging up your brew groups and grinder parts. This video outlines how to clean your espresso machine and espresso grinder. Should be performed nightly.

my boyfriend got me the krups XP4030 espresso machine. i’ve been trying to watch on youtube about how to make a simple mocha or cappuccino using the frothy milk & espresso & froth, but i’m totally lost. i read the directions on how to make coffee in the pamphlet it came with but it doesn’t really tell me how to make the good stuff like they do at seattles best or starbucks.

on the videos i watched (i also tried looking up my model, but i couldn’t really see what they were doing or if it was my model), i saw that some people had those 2 shot glasses for the shots. but when i used my machine, it filled up my 8 oz cup. i know those little shot glasses were not 8 oz! also, some of the recipes were 1/3 milk, 1/3 espresso, & 1/3 froth. so how can i split all that up? but first, i would like to know how to make those shots of coffee, or if i’m supposed too.

is there a good site besides youtube that can help me? i would really like a barista to help me with this. (=

thanks for looking!!

I recently purchased a Briel Lido at a second hand store. First time i used it i noticed a musty taste in my mocha, and couldn’t finish it. So I ran a whole bottle of straight white vinegar through the group head and steamer as well, thinking I needed to descale it. I flushed it with clean water, and made a shot, threw it away, then made another shot, and steamed my chocolate milk. The musty taste is still there! What else could I do?

Do you need an Espresso machine to make a Mocha or can you make it with a normal coffee maker. What im trying to do is make my favorite mocha in the mornings on my way to work without having to go buy a Espresso machine.

I’ve recently moved to a small town with no Starbucks or Coffeebean/Tealeaf and I am in need of a mocha latte. Please help. Thanks.

Seattle’s Best Coffee (www.seattlesbest.com) offers a quick tutorial on how-to cold brew coffee and the reasoning behind why delicious cold brewed coffee is used in its cafes. The key ingredient in iced coffee drinks from Seattle’s Best Coffee is the cold brewed coffee concentrate, produced by using the cold brewing process with the Toddy® brewing system. A Toddy uses cold water to extract the natural, delicious flavors of coffee and leaves behind undesirable bitter acids and oils. The result: A bold, slightly sweet, a little crisp, super-smooth taste with the added benefit of more than 50% less acidity than conventional brewing methods. Cold brewed coffee is used as the base for Seattles Best Coffee JavaKula™ blended beverages, coffee milkshakes and Hand Shaken ColdBrewed Originals.

There is nothing wrong with a cheap Espresso Machine if you know how to use it and get around. I’m not professional, nor this video. I just want to show people how you can make Espresso at home at very low cost. Basic Ingredient: Coffee, Milk, Chocolate Syrup. Tools: Espresso Machine (Mr.Coffee ECM250), Coffee Tamper, Homemade Can-raiser, Milk container, Shot Glass, Wet Towel. Note: 1 shot = 1.5oz (usually for 1 person) Remember: – Always use distill water (forgot to mention in video). – MUST use a coffee tamper! – Wait for water to get real hot before inserting coffee. – Clean nozzle RIGHT AWAY after steaming the milk. – Always release the pressure after used by opening the nozzle.

How do you make a really good mocha but not using an espresso machine?

I have a Krups Type 964 machine. If I steam a cup and a half of cold chocolate milk for my mocha, by the time it’s hot it’s up to over a cup and 3/4. Is this normal? After putting my espresso in, it doesn’t seem very thick any more. Not like my local Dutch bros. mochas.

Make a cappuccino as delicious as any you’d buy in a coffee shop.
