Personally I pronounce it as 'that car my parents drive around in'

but if I'm serious I believe I would pronounce it mok-ah possibly mok-ar since I'm not the best on syllables.

I know the region me and Janus live in it's pronounced mow-ka, it's even worst for the blasted loud North easterners "YO GIMME A MOE-KAH KID!" super south it's moe-kuh, California it's "OMG give me like...a moe-khaaaa" perhaps the people who would pronounce it best are the self-proclaimed master race of America, the Pacific Northwesterners, even at that it's wrong.

No matter how you put it, every region in the US has different pronunciations, all of them very wrong.

Oh... that's a tiny difference. I never heard anything else than Mocka in Germany. So Mok-ah, I guess.

...The last post was last September, guys. Give it a rest. Sheesh.

EDIT: Besides, it's just a kind of coffee; who cares how it's pronounced?

(For the record, Wikipedia says there are multiple pronunciations. You're both right.)
