Mochaccino

Café Mocha

Makes 1 serving (5½ ounces)

Makes 1 serving (6 ounces)

4 ounces skim milk

1measured scoop finely ground espresso or 1 espresso pod

2tablespoons chocolate syrup

bittersweet chocolate, shaved or unsweetened cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Pre-chill the frothing pitcher. Place the one- cup filter basket in the portafilter holder. Spoon the espresso grounds into the basket. Using the tamping tool, lightly press down on the grounds and clean any excess from the rim. Secure the portafilter holder in place.

Turn the Cuisinart® Espresso Maker on. When the machine is heated and ready to use, the amber heating light will go out.

Turn both the steam/hot water and function knobs to the steam settings. Pour the milk in the pre-chilled frothing pitcher. Hold the pitcher in one hand and place 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 espresso maker off. Reserve steamed/frothed milk.

Turn the espresso maker back on. Wait for the amber heating light to go out, if necessary.

Place a glass underneath the brew head and turn the function knob to the espresso setting. Espresso will begin to brew. When 1½ ounces have been brewed (after about 15 seconds), turn the machine off.

Add the chocolate syrup and about 4 ounces of the steamed milk; stir. Spoon 1 to 2 tablespoons of the frothed milk on top. If desired, top with shaved chocolate or cocoa powder.
