I have another question about Mochas. A lot of mochas that are sold locally seem to have whipped cream on top. I have no desire to buy any equipment or preparation for whipped cream and so my only choice is cream out of an aerosol can. Should I use this as a topping or should I go and wash my mouth out for suggesting anything so ridiculous and just rely on the combination of steamed milk and chocolate. By the way, I've made up a mix of 40% cocoa and 60% raw cane caster sugar to use in my mochas.

Sounds good Richard.

On the subject of the cream, I can only relay what my wife thinks as I don't drink such stuff myself. Generally Allyson thinks that foamed (aerosol) cream on top of a drink is horrid, and she usually spoons it off before drinking. I wouldn't have thought that you'd sell fewer drinks because of the lack. But then I'd never buy it either way so who am I to say.

I'd be up for a double ristretto though. Shame you're such a long way from Wiltshire.

Perhaps you're best off leaving it on the table with sugar etc and letting them add it if they so desire.

Hi Alans,
I've got my aerosols for tomorrow but will probably ask people if they want whipped cream or not. I can imagine the chaos if a couple of kids got hold of my can and started to squirt the barista :P

I am almost setup and made my test drinks using the cups etc. that will be used. The family have given me the thumbs up. It's now time to unleash my amateur skills on the great British public. I do promise a full write and photos. It may be a couple of days though as it will probably take that time to recover.
