A mocha really isn't comparable to drip coffee; the home stuff would have as many calories if you loaded it down with chocolate, too. Try a cafe americano. I think a viente has 5 kCal, plus however much half and half you add, but it's good with only a little. Also, an americano is half the price of a mocha.
