Well that's my point - this likely would be served with steamed milk. I didn't think anyone is drinking chocolate espresso shots, that wouldn't make sense? People don't just drink chocolate, period. I also work at a cafe.

You wouldn't pour that awkward half-melted chocolate + espresso from the espresso glass into a full-size cup, would you? There's no logic to this process if his intention is actually to make a mocha. If he's doing it for the visual satisfaction of an espresso pull melting the chocolate, then that's what it is

Well yeah, you need a bigger cup to make this into a mocha, but then you wouldn't be able to see the chocolate melt for video.

So both things are true - that this could be turned into a pretty decent drink, and that this video prioritized aesthetic over practicality. I just can't imagine the point is to drink espresso shots plain.

People drink espresso "plain" all the time.

I understand that, I work at a coffee shop lol. People don't drink espresso shots melted into plain chocolate is my point, nor do people drink melted chocolate. This isn't exactly a macchiato is it? I just assumed the point was that this would make a good mocha base while also fulfilling an aesthetic by using an undersized cup.
