What is Mocha Java Coffee?

The term “Mocha Java” is thrown around haphazardly in the coffee world, but it actually refers to a specific blend of beans. Not to be confused with a café mocha—which is a latte with chocolate—the Mocha in Mocha Java refers to an Ethiopian port for shipping coffee. Conversely, the Java is a reference to the island of Java, which is located in Indonesia.

 

Mocha Java coffee is a blend of beans from the two counties. Coffee beans from Ethiopia have a distinctive citrus flavor that meshes perfectly with the rich, full-bodied coffee of Java. The Mocha Java blend has a deep, full body while maintaining a medium roast and balanced acidity.


Don’t Compromise on Quality

100% Colombian coffeeIt’s understandable in this economic climate that you’d search for way to save money. Many people are cutting back in ways they wouldn’t normally expect. Something like a morning cup of cofffee has people busting out their calculators and determining what a cup of joe before work will set you back on a monthly basis. Making your own coffee in the morning is an easy way to save money, but many people are intimidated by the prospect.

 

In my experience, one of the main deterrents for people who are considering to brew their own coffee is the assumption that it won’t compare to the beverage they order from their local coffee shop. And while you may not be able to replicate the drink exactly, advancements in home brewing technology allow anyone to create delicious coffee beverages. Just be sure to purchase premium 100% Colombian coffee or another quality product and grind the beans yourself, as this will ensure the freshest flavor.
