It’s Friday morning at Jo’s and there are a couple of dozen folks enjoying the chill air. Tom, with the green bandana, is sweeping up aound the place and extolling the virtues of the new espresso machine, the La Marzocco. We’ll have the scoop on this in an upcoming blog episode. It’s a nice view from the Jo’s front deck of Amy’s Ice Cream, Zen restaurant, and the Hotel San Jose. Tom cranks up the ipod and the music resumes.
We found 63 photos on flickr matching the search phrase Jo’s Coffee. The picture below is one of them. Add your Jo’s photos to flickr!

Jo’s has a MySpace page at myspace.com/joshotcoffee and soon there will be a guide to MySpace on Jo’s blog. What would you like to see on Jo’s blog, send us an article or post something in our comments.

Austin American Statesman writer Shermakaye Bass has written up a “day in the life” of Jo’s South called:
Quotes from Shermakaye’s XL piece:
“Shermakaye Bass scopes out the social landscape at Jo’s on South Congress for a glimpse of the famous and soon-to-be famous. MORE”
“Any given day is a funky parade at Jo’s Hot Coffee on South Congress Avenue. Its location at the foot of the “SoCo strip” and its layout — open shed seating, walkup-window, tables — make Jo’s perfect for marathon people watching.
It’s one of those places where, throughout the day, life’s rich pageant unfurls, jogging past in sweats, ambling up with dogs, strolling through with babies, buzzing by on scooters, dashing up and away in suits. Musicians and filmmakers chat with geeks and fashionistas; well-heeled tourists sidle up to local characters. Stars of the big and small screen (hello, “Friday Night Lights”) hang out — and sometimes try to hide — here. “

Disclaimer added after making the video:Â Rose now knows the difference between Portofino (a small fishing village in Italy located in the province of Genoa on the Italion Riviera) and a portafilter (the handle and basket thingy on an espresso machine that holds the ground espresso for extraction.)
Rose of Jo’s Coffee South, Austin, TX shows us how the pros make a mocha. It’s on an early Tuesday morning in Austin and it’s just before the big crowd shows up at Jo’s.
Makin’ Mocha – the Ipod Version
Makin’ Mocha with Rose – for Windows Media player
A Café Mocha is a variant of a cafe latte. It is simply a chocolate latte. Like a latte it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a shot of chocolate is added. Typically the chocolate is in the form of an Italian syrup, although less sophisticated vending systems use instant chocolate powder. Whipped cream, dustings of cocoa and marshmallows may also be added on top for flavour and decoration.
This being an American invention, it is mostly unknown in Italy and other continental European countries. Mocha was originally a particular variety of coffee from Mocha, Yemen, made without cocoa, but which tasted as if it had cocoa in it, and modern usage usually refers to an imitation of it using other coffee varieties and cocoa.
A variant is white café mocha, instead made with a shot of white chocolate.
A term moccaccino is used in some regions of Europe and the Middle East to describe cappuccino with cocoa or chocolate.

pictured above – actual cup of mocha made at Jo’s South.
