What tequila is to liquor, caf cubano is to the world of coffee. Caf cubano is at-least double the strength of American coffee. It is a daily morning ritual for Cubans and Cuban-Americans.
Cuban coffee is served at the end of a meal in tacitas that are smaller than demitasse cups.
The old-fashioned way to make caf cubano is in a pot on the stove, though the truth is that Cubans in this country make their coffee in Italian espresso makers. The Coffee You can best approximate the taste of cuban coffee by using finely ground, almost powdered, Jamaican beans. Cubans enjoy their coffee with generous amounts of sugar. I have added sugar this coffee recipe since that is how it generally is made, but if you wish to omit the sugar, that's fine. The Process Unscrew the Italian espresso maker and remove the metal filter cup from the bottom half.
