Espresso coffee - an idea
Discussion

Just had a nice cup of Espresso from my whizzy new Gaggia and I thought it would be nice with a dash of chocolate too. If I add drinking chocolate powder to the ground coffee, so the flavours are mixed, would it work or blow up in my face? Has anyone else tried this?
I'd add some Polyfilla for body too.

It's already been invented - it's called mocha
Aha! Living in the country I don't about all this Mocha/Latte/Starbucks thing. Just instant and real. But it's good to know I've inadvertently something good. Had I been 200 years earlier it would be known not as Mocha but as Simpo.
Now there's a scary thought
Although the thread originator got it right (thankfully) I feel this is the right place to express (aha) a particular concern of mine - the spelling of Espresso! Note the lack of the X L.A. I don't normally correct spelling, especially for posters as regularly witty/entertaining/cheerful as LA but he always spells it wrong! argh! sorry! feel free to correct any aspect of, erm, me.

I don't know about "blow up in my face" but I'd add the chocolate to the milk before steaming it rather than add it to the ground coffee. Better result that way

Ah, I cheat. I put cold milk in, then steam the fecker. Much quicker and you don't have a milk jug to wash up.
Billy, are you mad? It's bloody freezing out there. Aha, gotcha, Iced Coffee
