Bay Beans Drinking Chocolate

Have you been looking for a high quality drinking chocolate that is perfect for Hot Chocolate and also great as a sprinkle on Cappuccino? I know, its hard to find. Cadbury's makes a drinking chocolate, but its expensive and when it comes to cafe use, just not enough for this cafe staple!

We've been providing our cafe customers with this 2kg pack of dark drinking chocolate for around ten years - i've only just now added it to the online store so you can grab a bag anytime. This chocolate, which is actually better known as Milk Chocolate - but in the world of drinking chocolate, the name Milk Chocolate is reserved for white chocolate - confused? I was. To make it easy, this dark chocolate is the one you'll use when making a hot chocolate and its also the chocolate you'd use for sprinkling on cappuccino.

If you're buying this for home, and you've got kids in the house - 2kg will last you about a week... well, it feels like that in my house! Its going to last you a while, so you wont have to worry about running out in a hurry. It comes packaed in a zip lock resealable bag too. I sometimes share my bag with a family friend, but mostly keep it all to ourselves. If you're running a cafe, this is absolutely what you need to go with your coffee.

How to make a mocha coffee

A mocha coffee is a variant of coffee with milk. Like this one, it usually takes a third of espresso and two thirds of vaporized milk, but a part of chocolate is added, usually in the form of chocolate syrup, although some machines use instant chocolate powder. The mochas contain dark chocolate or milk.

Like the cappuccino, the mocha has the famous milk foam on top, although sometimes it is served with milk cream instead. It is usually sprinkled with cinnamon or cocoa. You can also add marshmallows on top to decorate and flavor.

A variant is white mocha coffee, made with white chocolate instead of black or with milk. There are also variants in which the two syrups are mixed, a mixture known by different names, including Black and White Mocha, Brown Mocha and Zebra.

Feedback about coffee quality

20/10/2018

I received this email today from a long time Bay Beans coffee customer - its moments like these that bring a huge smile to my face!

I Just wanted to let you know. I've been ordering coffee from you for almost a year and in parallel I quite often experiment with other brands, but every time I try different provider, I see that your coffee is better. Not sure how you achieve such high quality, but the difference is big. Thanks for doing great job, I hope my email will keep you a little bit more motivated about the thing you do.

How to make Latte Art and steam milk on your coffee espresso machine

27/8/2018

How to do some basic latte art at home.

Start with fresh espresso and cold milk in a cold milk jug and the steam wand only just breaking the surface of the milk until you reach 35 degrees Celsius, then plunge the steam wand down into the milk jug to continue the heating process to 65c. Perfect for flat white, cappuccino, latte and piccolo. Take the fresh espresso base, tilt the cup a little bit - tap any bubbles out of your milk and give it a swirl. Pour your milk from a height to break through the crema and when when you're cup is half full, lower the jug to paint your milk pattern into the milk. Using full cream milk will improve the results of your textured milk when compared to light milk.
