## Description

Kenco Millicano Cadbury Mocha: Why You Stir It Twice, in summary: Cadbury chocolate on Kenco's Millicano base, where finely milled coffee sits suspended in soluble coffee. It is nearer hot chocolate than coffee, so make a paste first and stir again before the last third.
Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.
Millicano coffee does not fully dissolve: the finely milled roasted coffee in the base stays suspended, and it slowly settles as you drink. That one fact explains both the fuller body of this mocha and the second stir it needs.
What Millicano adds to a mocha 
Ordinary instant is brewed, dried and sold as granules that disappear completely in water. Millicano, Kenco's wholebean instant idea, mixes finely milled roasted coffee in with that soluble coffee. The milled particles never dissolve; they hang in the drink and give it more texture and weight than granules alone can, which is why the mug feels nearer to a cafe cup than a standard instant.
In a mocha that matters, because the coffee is usually the loser: most ready-made versions taste of sweet cocoa with a hint of coffee somewhere behind it. The published list shows where the balance falls: chocolate powder, itself sugar and cocoa, makes up 53 percent, while instant coffee is 4.5 percent and ground coffee 0.2 percent. This is a chocolate drink first, with the coffee still easy to pick out underneath.
Making it smooth, then keeping it smooth 
Chocolate and milled coffee together form stubborn lumps if hot water hits the dry mix all at once, and once formed they will not stir out. Start with a spoonful of hot water, press the powder into a smooth paste with the back of the spoon, then fill. For the amount per mug, follow the guidance printed on the jar rather than guessing.
Then stir again. The milled coffee drifts downwards as you drink, so the last third of an unstirred mug turns gritty and heavy with chocolate. A second stir about halfway down keeps the finish rounded. That is the format working as designed rather than a fault in the jar, and once you know to expect it the habit takes two seconds.
Water or milk, and when to drink it 
Water keeps the drink lighter and lets the coffee show; swap part of the water for hot milk and it turns richer and sweeter. Begin with water and adjust from there. Expect milk-chocolate sweetness rather than dark, bitter cocoa. That leaves the mug halfway to a hot chocolate, which suits a mid-afternoon break for anyone who cannot choose between the two drinks.
It is caffeinated, so if you stop drinking coffee after a certain hour, this counts; the Kenco Decaf jar covers the late cup. The mix contains milk and its ingredient list runs well beyond coffee, including fully hydrogenated coconut oil, so check the jar first if you avoid dairy or any other ingredient. Millicano Smooth Latte is the other Millicano jar we stock.

FAQ
What does Millicano mean? Kenco's wholebean instant: finely milled roasted coffee blended into soluble coffee, where the milled part stays suspended rather than dissolving.
Is it coffee or hot chocolate? Both, and nearer the chocolate end. Chocolate powder is over half the mix, with coffee a small but noticeable part.
Why is the bottom of my mug gritty? The milled coffee settles as you drink. Stir again when the mug is about half empty.
Does the Cadbury mocha contain caffeine? Yes, it is caffeinated, so treat it like any other coffee in the evening.
Is there milk in the Millicano mocha mix? Yes. The published ingredient list includes skimmed milk powder and milk protein.
Curator's note: Water, two stirs and a plain butter cookie at four o'clock is how we would have this one. The drink brings enough sweetness; the biscuit does not need to add more. Lee, teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
