Café du Jour 100% arabica Mocca


Mocca is the gently sweet, chocolate-leaning coffee in the Café du Jour range. It is made from 100% Arabica and given a slow medium roast, which keeps the bitterness down and lets the mocha character come forward. Smooth enough to drink black through a filter, round enough to hold its own under steamed milk, and even-tempered rather than bold.
A gentle, chocolate-led Arabica
Mocca is the softer, sweeter side of the Café du Jour range, though not the mildest coffee we sell: 100% Arabica, roasted to a medium level and taken slowly, so the sugars in the bean have time to develop and the roast never tips into bitterness or smoke.
What reaches the cup is a lightly sweet coffee with subtle chocolate notes and a soft, mocha-like finish. There is real character in it, but it is balanced rather than assertive: we put it at 6 out of 13, just below the middle of our thirteen-point scale and a long way short of a dark Italian espresso roast.
How it drinks
As an espresso the chocolate side arrives concentrated, with a smooth rather than sharp finish. Brewed through a filter the sweetness has more room and the cup reads lighter. In a cappuccino the mocha character is exactly the sort of flavour that survives steamed milk instead of disappearing into it.
