      Comment: I suggest an espresso maker for making espresso. It's simply not the same as regular coffee. Sure the chocolate overpowers the taste to an extent- but espresso is made under pressure not with a drip coffee machine. The two are simply not equals. As for the recipe: The proportions here are about what I used at home. Only I used less milk (I thought you recommended 14oz and tried it this way but it was way too much IMO and it was very diluted tasting. 8oz was too little- and the drink a little too rich (though quite delicious and VERY chocolatey. Next time I'll try 10oz of milk instead- I think 12oz may be too much). I've had alot of starbucks peppermint mochas and that is the taste i'm shooting for. It'll be mostly chocolate taste- a little peppermint. And this would outweigh the taste of the espresso. And instead of adding water to the Sweet Ground Chocolate powder- i mixed it with the peppermint syrup to make the paste. This keeps the flavors from being more diluted. The amount of syrup used is more than enough to make a good paste with the chocolate powder. I might also recommend a smidge more peppermint syrup- but that can be adjusted after the drink is made.

      After deciding I could no longer bare the expense of my Starbuck's habit, I decided to give this a try. It's gonna take some time for me to get all the steps down to a science so I can do it faster, but I will have plenty of practice, because this is GOOD! It's not EXACT, but so worth skipping $4.19 everyday! I may need to get better baking powder, mine is store brand, nonetheless, this is YUMMY!!!

      This is excellent, even with inferior cocoa and coffee. I can't wait to make it with higher-quality ingredients. The proportions are just right. I'm thinking about adding a little sweetener, however. I love the explicit directions for espresso newbies.

      This was great, but instead of Peppermint syrup, which most people don't have at home, try a crushed candy cane! It's very inexpensive and tastes about the same.

      This was pretty tasty!! I used a dutch cocoa powder and it was a little too bitter so I had to add in some sweetener to offset it. Otherwise - yum! Thanks for sharing.

      This was really tasty. However, I didn't use the best cocoa and you could tell...the end result was a little gritty feeling. Next time around I'll make sure I have the good stuff on hand. Thanks for sharing Nikki :)
