Mocha in a slate mug

Common

A mocha in a slate mug, #228 of 999. Late Shift light, concrete counter. Foam on the surface. Sugar Cube. Printed sleeve. Common, roast score 146.5.

The recipe

17 g · 18 g chocolate · 143 ml milk

Melt 18 g of dark chocolate into the shot while it is still hot, and stir until it is glossy rather than grainy.
Steam 143 ml of milk to 64 °C.
Pour through the chocolate so it marbles on the way in.
Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
Rest a sugar cube on the saucer. It is for the drinker to decide, not the barista.
