1. Pour your office-grade coffee
Be it Folgers, Maxwell House or another entry-level coffee this is your base. The main thing is that it has at least some mild flavor of actual coffee. You’ll see here that I’ve gotten the best part of the office coffee – the bottom of the pot, where you’ll find any grounds that slipped through the filter.

2. Add a packet of hot chocolate
I’m using Swiss Miss here. I got a box of 10 of them for $1. You can opt for a premium hot chocolate mix and it may improve your office mocha respectively.

3. Microwave for 45 seconds (optional)
If, like me, you’ve gotten the last of the pot of coffee, you may notice that the coffee your grounds are floating in is a bit below preferred temperature. It’s important that the coffee be pretty warm or hot because it helps the hot chocolate to melt and mix in.

4. Stir hot chocolate in coffee until smooth and frothy
This is where this simple and cost-effective concoction really starts too look tasty. If you are good with a toothpick you might even be able to make one of those cool coffee art designs on top.

5. Enjoy ‘The Office Mocha’
I hope you’re surprised at how tasty this budget beverage is. I find that it really comes in handy if I’ve run out of good creamer at the office or when I need to cut back on $5 coffee shop coffees.
