More Than Just Coffee – Using Your Pod Brewer to Make Café Mochas & Hot Chocolate

June 22, 2010

Café Mocha

With other single-cup systems able to make hot chocolate and even café mochas, you may have wondered, “Can I do the same with my pod brewer?” The answer is YES! If you want to make a café mocha or hot chocolate using your pod brewer, follow our simple steps below.

Looking for a warm, chocolaty treat? Make sure you try these recipes for yourself. With just a bit of hot chocolate mix you can widen the variety of drinks your pod brewer will make. Enjoy!

Café Mocha Instructions:

Select your favorite coffee pod variety (remember that non-flavored coffees work best when making café mocha) and follow the steps that you normally would take to make a coffee with your pod brewer. In your cup or mug, place one portion of your preferred hot chocolate mix. Next, station the mug and press the brew button. Stir and enjoy!

Hot Chocolate Instructions:

Follow the steps that you normally would take to make a coffee or tea with your pod brewer. However, make sure that there is no pod in the pod holder. In your cup or mug, place one portion of your preferred hot chocolate mix. Next, station the mug and press the brew button. Once the water has finished passing thru the brewer, open the pod compartment to release any trapped water. Stir and enjoy!

Note: Some pod brewers require you to open and close the pod holder compartment before brewing. Make sure to do this if required. Additionally, ensure you are using a large enough cup or mug. Generally, when a pod is not in place one or two extra ounces of liquid will pass thru the brewer.

 

Feel free to garnish your hot beverage creations with whipped cream, drizzled chocolate syrup or sprinkled chocolate shavings for a true coffee house experience!

Yeah I've done the chocolate mix and brewed coffee trick before, and I've always enjoyed the results. I've never thought about using the heated water on its own, though, so thanks for posting that!
