Boissons, Café, Instantané, Moka, Sucré : combien de grammes dans une tasse ?
Sweetened instant mocha powder is a pre-mixed blend of spray-dried coffee, cocoa, sugar, and sometimes powdered milk, with a density of 0.440 g/ml. One US cup weighs approximately 104 g and one tablespoon about 6.5 g. The added sugar and cocoa solids make this powder denser than plain instant coffee (0.203-0.365 g/ml) but still well under half the density of water. It dissolves in hot water or milk for a quick mocha drink and is also used as a dry flavoring in baked goods such as mocha buttercream, chocolate-coffee muffins, and tiramisu fillings. Weighing prevents the large volumetric swings caused by settling and clumping of the sugar-cocoa-coffee granule mixture.

Questions fréquentes
- Why is sweetened mocha powder denser than regular instant coffee?
- At 0.440 g/ml versus 0.203-0.365 g/ml for unsweetened instant coffee, the mocha powder's higher density comes from its sugar and cocoa content. Granulated sugar has a bulk density around 0.85 g/ml and cocoa powder about 0.50 g/ml. Blending these denser components into the light instant coffee granules raises the overall density of the mixture significantly.
- Can I substitute this powder for cocoa plus instant coffee in a recipe?
- Only with adjustments. One cup of this powder (104 g) already contains sugar, cocoa, and coffee in a fixed ratio set by the manufacturer. If a recipe calls for separate cocoa and instant coffee, substituting this mix will add unaccounted sugar and may alter the chocolate-to-coffee balance. Weigh the powder and reduce recipe sugar by roughly 40-50% of the powder weight to compensate.
