　　Chocolate that is made up of 70% cocoa solids pairs really well with coffee. According to our experts it has a natural affinity, being neither way too sweet and milky, nor much too dark and bitter.

　　Chocolate with fruit or nuts worked nicely as well, complementing the fruity and nutty notes often found in coffee.

　　White chocolate was a surprise hit with our panel. They said that the creamy, buttery notes of the white chocolate took on a pleasing caramelized sugar note when combined with coffee, with one expert describing the flavour combination as ?stonishing.

　　If you like chocolate with ginger in it, having it with coffee won bring out its or the coffee best qualities. One disappointed panellist described it as ? war zone in your mouth, while another said it made the coffee taste like it had been flavoured with a syrup.

　　The panel also didn rate milk chocolate as a coffee accompaniment. They said it falsely sweetened the coffee, pulling attention away from the coffee flavours.

　　Going too dim with your chocolate is also a no-no. Our panel agreed that an 85% cocoa solid variety was a bit much, even for a strong Italian or Brazilian roasted bean coffee, as the bitterness of the flavours overwhelms the palate.
