History & Background

The term originally referred to "Mocha" beans from the port of Al Mokha in Yemen, which had a naturally distinct chocolatey flavor. Over time, as chocolate became a popular commodity in Europe, people began mixing it with coffee. In 18th-century Turin, a drink called "Bicerin" (layered coffee, chocolate, and cream) became famous. The modern "Caffè Mocha" is an American invention of the 1980s, inspired by the Bicerin but adapted for the espresso bar workflow. It serves as a crucial "gateway drink," introducing the palate to coffee bitterness masked by the familiarity of sweet cocoa.
