they think mocha is coffee

"It doean't taste like chocolate"
Animegirl300 38 points 1y ago
And it really doesn’t, not without the vanilla. It tastes more like a 75% dark chocolate bar.
Serienmae 30 points 1y ago
I was quoting what i would imagine would be their response to getting warm milk with nothing in it lol
JHOOOOBI 26 points 1y ago
100% what happens with these people🤣
saddestgirl1995 58 points 1y ago
I'd rather this over the regular who gets 18 pumps of mocha in a grande
richayy420 13 points 1y ago
Oh lord have mercy on there health
rgbjackal 13 points 1y ago
God have mercy on your grammar (yes that's a joke, put the pitchforks down)
richayy420 -4 points 1y ago
Thank you for pointing to the fact i used a improper their & most likely skipped the use of a comma. If that brings you joy to your Saturday than my pleasure.
baseballgirl30 2 points 1y ago
making fun of someone’s grammar is pretty lame but so is making fun of someone’s health
rgbjackal -2 points 1y ago
There -> Their.
Not really bringing joy, just bored and sitting in the corner at a wedding.
Also I did say in the subtext that it was absolutely a joke and in no way was I trying to be "that guy".
Good day.

Have a regular who gets a venti ice chair with 24 pumps of Chai with light 2% and extra ice
ViAmplify 43 points 1y ago
can i get a latte with no shots and no milk?
agoodveilsays 30 points 1y ago
Or a cappuccino with no foam.
lily-amber 21 points 1y ago
Extra wet cappuccino, like what?!
beanpolebarista22 25 points 1y ago
I can even do you one better- I got a similar mobile the other day but with no whip or mocha drizzle either
Brokendreams99 19 points 1y ago
One of my coworkers had a time where our espresso machine was down and we couldn't make any drinks. So he was explaining to this guy that they couldn't make white mocha latte for him. He deadass goes "I've been coming to Starbucks for 7 years. There's no espresso in a white mocha."

Soooo, steamed milk?
PermitDisastrous5735 4 points 1y ago
steamed milk + whip + mocha drizzle
bootrick -25 points 1y ago
Pump of vanilla
NervosaNervous 42 points 1y ago
Hot Chocolates don’t get vanilla anymore.
bootrick 17 points 1y ago
How time flies

It confuses people that we call our chocolate sauce, mocha. Mocha implies coffee. The sauce has no coffee in it, it’s the sauce we use to MAKE mochas, but it’s just chocolate. Should just be called Chocolate Sauce. Because that’s what it is.
OneRoseDark 13 points 1y ago
mocha doesn't imply coffee. mocha is the chocolate part. that's why the drink is called a caffe mocha -- coffee with chocolate.

people are just dumb.
bootrick 22 points 1y ago
Mocha does imply coffee. When coffee was still monopolized, Mocha was the port in Yemen that shipped 100% of the coffee that Europeans could get. Mocha was common slang for coffee for 100s of years.

I find it harder to figure out when mocha first started to mean a chocolate drink. Perhaps Starbucks started it.
keskobalt 3 points 1y ago
I mean there’s caffeine in the mocha sooo very little but still there also mocha doesn’t taste good anyway not like the chocolate sauce RIP 🙏🏽
emileeavi 15 points 1y ago
Not too bad. Maybe it was for a kid, so they got them just steamed milk with whipped cream. Might not have knows about steamers lol
Animegirl300 13 points 1y ago
Poor thing. I understand why they’re doing this: Ever since they took out the vanilla, the mocha by itself started tasting too ‘gritty’, almost like beans. I know now after working that it’s just because it’s powder based. It took actually working there to figure out that the mocha sauce itself wasn’t so much the problem as not being paired with the vanilla anymore to cover up the powdery taste. But I can see why a customer would just assume that it’s coffee they’re tasting.

We had a syrup creme frap with no syrup and no whip. Two different baristas had to ask if they were serious.
PermitDisastrous5735 9 points 1y ago
that would be just whole milk blended with ice and creme base right lol
bonkerdonkertonker 9 points 1y ago
Yummy. Warm milk.
Luckily she didn’t ask for “extra chocolate” then yell at you through the DT after seeing extra mocha because “dOnT yOu KnOw mOcHa iS cOfFeE??”
Sir_Aaron123 8 points 1y ago
Side note. Does a mocha taste good using chocolate malt powder instead of the syrups?
[deleted] 6 points 1y ago
YES SO MUCH BETTER
NOTcreative- 6 points 1y ago
Hey lizbeth! Good to see you! Did you know you could actually order a vanilla steamer instead and get the same drink for cheaper? Do you have your phone with you? Awesome let me show you how on the app!
rudebii 5 points 1y ago
So, a vanilla steamer?
Barl_Carker 55 points 1y ago
Not even. It’s just a steamed milk. Hot chocolate recipe doesn’t use vanilla anymore
ThatOtherGuyTPM 9 points 1y ago
With whipped cream and mocha drizzle
Inside_Drink_3968 22 points 1y ago
it gets mocha drizzle? whoops
Machokeabitch 12 points 1y ago
New recipe removed the drizzle.
DraconidZinnia 2 points 1y ago
WHAT
NOTcreative- 2 points 1y ago
Person ordering might have no idea and can’t figure out why their drink doesn’t taste right anymore.
vodwalyn 3 points 1y ago
Here’s ur warm milk
AuntieRia1128 3 points 1y ago
🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️
adventurelyfe 2 points 1y ago
Sooo milk?
[deleted] 2 points 1y ago
So what happened op?
perfectinsomniac-iz [OP] 7 points 1y ago
Nothing happened, just grabbed and went on their way. I’m guessing it must have been intentional 🤷🏻‍♀️
[deleted] 3 points 1y ago
Steamed milk with a little whip and some good old mocha drizzle it is then.
darkwolf523 1 points 1y ago
Something doesn’t look right here. I can’t figure it out.
ValenciaTarot 1 points 1y ago
😹 so hot milk then…?
Royal_Concentrate_00 1 points 1y ago
Had someone order a white Mocha graphic with no white Mocha.

I don't fight it anymore
megs1288 -3 points 1y ago
Vanilla steamer? Or just steamed milk with 1 pump vanilla? Either way have a regular hot choc on standby for when they complain there’s no chocolate
[deleted] 5 points 1y ago
hot choc doesn’t get vanilla anymore
megs1288 3 points 1y ago
For real? Lots changed since I worked there
