A '''mocaccino''', also called '''caffè mocha''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|ɒ|k|ə}} or {{IPAc-en|ˈ|m|oʊ|k|ə}}), is a variant of a [[latte|caffelatte]], inspired by the [[Turin]] Coffee beverage [[Bicerin]].{{citation needed|date=March 2012}}

== Origin ==
Café mocha takes its name from the Red Sea coastal town of [[Mocha, Yemen]], which as far back as the fifteenth century was a dominant exporter of coffee, especially to areas around the Arabian Peninsula.

== Attributes ==
Like a caffè latte, it is based on [[espresso]] and hot milk, but with added chocolate, typically in the form of sweet [[cocoa powder]], although many varieties use [[chocolate syrup]]. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate.

Café mocha, in its most basic formulation, can also be referred to as [[hot chocolate]] with (e.g. a shot of) espresso added. Like [[cappuccino]], café mochas typically contain the well-known milk froth on top, although, as is common with hot chocolate, they are sometimes served with whipped cream instead. They are usually topped with a dusting of either [[cinnamon]] or cocoa powder and [[marshmallows]] may also be added on top for flavor and decoration.

A variant is white café mocha, made with [[white chocolate]] instead of milk or dark. There are also variants of the drink that mix the two syrups; this mixture is referred to by several names, including black and white mocha, tan mocha, marble mocha, tuxedo mocha and zebra.

The caffeine content is approximately 10.9&nbsp;mg/oz (370&nbsp;mg/L), which is 175&nbsp;mg for a 16 oz glass.<ref name="caffeine_content">{{cite web |title=Caffeine Content of Drinks |url=http://www.energyfiend.com/the-caffeine-database| accessdate=June 4, 2010}}</ref>
