Mochaccino
Makes 1 serving (5½ ounces)
Ingredients
- 4ounces skim milk
- 1measured scoop finely ground
- espresso or 1 espresso pod
- 2tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1teaspoon shaved bittersweet chocolate,
- or unsweetened cocoa powder,
- for garnish (optional)
Preparation
- Pre-chill the frothing pitcher. Press the power
- button of the Cuisinart® Espresso Maker to
- turn the machine on. The lights around the
- power, manual, single and double
- espresso buttons will illuminate and when they
- stop blinking, the machine has been warmed
- and is ready to use.
- Place the one-cup filter basket in the portafilter
- holder. Spoon the espresso grounds into the
- basket. Using the tamping tool, press down
- the grounds with moderate pressure and clean
- any excess from the rim. Secure the portafilter
- holder in place.
- Press the steam button and once the light
- stops blinking, it’s ready for use.
- Pour the milk into the pre-chilled frothing
- pitcher. Turn the steam/hot water dial to the
- steam setting. Hold the pitcher in one hand
- and place it under the steam wand so the
- bottom of the wand is just below the surface
- of the milk. While holding the pitcher at an
- angle, allow the steam to move the milk
- around. Once the milk begins to increase in
- volume, lift the pitcher higher so the steam
- wand is immersed farther into the milk. Move the pitcher up and down a couple of times to
- achieve a nice foam. When the foam has
- almost reached the top of the pitcher, turn
- the dial to the off position. Reserve steamed/
- frothed milk.
- Place one demitasse cup underneath the brew
- head and press the single espresso button.
- Espresso will begin to brew. When 1½ ounces
- have been brewed the machine will stop.
- Add the chocolate syrup and about 4 ounces
- of the steamed milk to the glass; stir. Spoon
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of the frothed milk on top.
- If desired, top with shaved chocolate or cocoa
- powder.
