For a better flavour make a small cup of espresso from real coffee beans (or buy one to take away from a cafe).

Mmmm, it says coffee? it used to be chocolate from memory. I would use freeze dried coffee and only anough boiled water to just dissolve it with a little liquid to keep it concentrated. You can get coffee and chocolate extract which are the strongest available, from Neilsen Massey.
