Quest for the perfect mocha

Actually, I know where to get the perfect (Grande Non-Fat No-Whip) Mocha -- at Starbucks.  But Laurel got me this amazing new coffee machine (the Jura Capressa Impressa Z6), and it can make all kinds of coffee drinks, including those that take milk.  So I set off to create a replica of the Starbucks Mocha, and I think I've come pretty close.  It took five tries, but I got it down to 30 seconds of steamed milk, 2 tbsps of chocolate, 3 oz of espresso on "normal" aroma setting.  I think the taste is close but the "mouth feel" is a little off.  Laurel suggests perhaps oilier beans at a finer grind setting, which I'll try later ... as for now, I'm a little buzzed from too much coffee sampling!
