Yes, it is possible to make a mocha that tastes just as good (and better!) than one from Starbucks at home, for a fraction of the cost.

Thanks to Freeplaymusic.com for the songs.

  • Why does it seem like only people who know everything about coffee watch entry level how-to videos? Hmmm.

  • Didnt time the shots ... shots are meant to be 18-23 secs, didn't stir the coffee and chocolate, milk was shit

  • @Vzer01 Can't time shots on a cheap machine, DID stir the coffee and chocolate, and your insight is shit.

  • hey what is a good bean for espresso from starbucks: espresso roast, french, italian, sumatra

    and how bout from millstone?

  • Guatemala, Columbia, and Komodo Dragon are my favorites. Don't know about Millstone.

  • Thank you finally a video that shows all the ingredients!!

  • I also worked at a Starbucks and I have no idea why other people are giving you such a hard time! You made it at home, on a cheap machine that you can't time the shots on. Your milk was to YOUR liking and even if you didn't stir the chocolate, Starbucks employees aren't supposed to unless they are asked to! Keep on doing what you do. Forget everyone else.

  • the machine alone will cost more than one mocha from starbucks .. yayyy.

  • @lowcostvideos While I realize this is for novices, you shouldn't give false information. Timing a shot is as easy as using a second hand on a watch. Just stop the brew process when you reach the appropriate time.

  • Very cool video. Please post more! 

  • hey this looks soo yummy! i faved it:) but i have a capuccino/espresso maker and i cant get my mocha lattes to taste right. whats your coffee to water amount ratio when brewing the espresso? thanks!! oh yeah and about how long do you steam the milk because i dont have a thermometer.

  • ...and that is why starbucks can't make good coffee...

  • @Vzer01 thats right 

  • How do you make a good shot with a cheaper espresso machine if you can't time the shots? any suggestions/tips?
