Mocha  vs.  Coffee

what's the difference?

Coffee or mocha?  What's the  difference? I dig into the history of both drinks and uncover which drink has more caffeine! 

Arrow

Let's go!

What is mocha?

A mocha is similar to a latte (espresso + hot milk), but with chocolate, added via cocoa powder or chocolate syrup.  Think of a mocha as a grown-up hot chocolate.

What is coffee? 

This one doesn't need much explanation – black coffee is simply a mix of water and coffee! There's no milk or sugar added. (Unless you add it yourself, of course.)

Similarities

The main similarity is that they're both coffee drinks! They're both can be served hot or cold. That's about it! ;)

Differences

The main difference between mocha and coffee is that mocha is an espresso and coffee is not. 

Caffeine

If you're comparing a regular one shot mocha and a cup of coffee, a cup of coffee has a bit more caffeine than the coffee. But the chocolate in a mocha might give you that extra sugar rush you're after!
