How to Make Borgia Coffee (Step-by-Step Instructions)
This Borgia coffee recipe blends bold espresso, rich chocolate, and zesty orange into one cozy, café-style treat.
Equipment
- Espresso Machine or Moka Pot:
- Small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl (for melting chocolate)
- Milk frother or whisk (if making whipped cream from scratch)
- Heatproof mug or serving glass
Ingredients
- Freshly brewed espresso (or strong coffee)
- Dark or milk chocolate (melted or syrup)
- Orange zest (freshly grated)
- Heavy whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
- Optional: sugar, cinnamon, or cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions
- Brew your espresso – 1–2 shots should do the trick. I like using a Moka pot for a stovetop method that gives you nice intensity.
- Melt your chocolate – Use a small saucepan over low heat or pop it in the microwave with a splash of milk or water until smooth.
- Add orange zest – Stir in the zest while the chocolate’s still warm to release the oils.
- Combine – Pour the hot espresso over the chocolate-orange mix and stir gently.
- Top it off – Add a big spoonful (or swirl) of whipped cream.
- Garnish – Sprinkle more zest or chocolate shavings on top for that café-style finish.

Notes
My tip: Zest the orange directly over your mug while the chocolate’s melting. Those citrus oils float in the air and boost your cup's aroma. It’s a small touch, but wow, it makes a difference.
