A Cafe Tobio is a 1:1 ratio of drip coffee to espresso. Its commonly used to strengthen a cup of weak coffee while taking out the bitterness of an espresso. Another version of the Cafe Tobio is a doppio with equal parts drip coffee.
Now, what is a “Tobio”? How did this drink get its name? Apparently, its named after the deceased son of Doctor Tenma of Astroboy fame…now if we could just connect what that has to do with coffee. Hmmm…

This is our favorite hot chocolate (or hot cocoa) recipe so far this season – no need for the whipped cream! I would make sure to add the hot water cycle (unlike the Starbucks cocoa) as the packet instructions request it – its too creamy without a little hot water. The Latte Macchiato setting releases 40 ml (~ 1 fl. oz) that makes a difference.
The ingredients of the Starbucks mixture is listed as: Sugar, Cocoa (processed with Alkali), Vanilla
The ingredients of the Trader Joe’s mixture is listed as: Cane Sugar, Whole Milk Powder, Natural Cocoa Powder, Whey Protein, Tricalcium Phosphate, Stabilizer (Carragenean and Gum Acacia), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin), Salt, Natural Vanilla Flavor, Vitamin and Mineral Mix (Iron, Niacin [B3], Thiamin [B1], Vitamin A, Riboflavin [B2]). #yikes

This drink became known as the Americano when US Service Men were stationed in France during World War II. The espresso commonly served at the French cafés was “watered down” by adding an equal part hot water. Although not uncommon to dilute an espresso, the act of adding hot water to the espresso is what makes the Café Americano unique.
Because I like the more intense espresso flavors, and this drink calls to dilute the espresso, I recommend a higher intensity flavors listed above.
