How to Finally Make That Cuban Espresso
A step-by-step guide to your favorite drink.
There’s nothing like a good cup of coffee. And the best cup is the one you can make at home. It’s cheap, plus you can brew it exactly how you like it and when you want it.
The Cuban espresso, or the cafecito, is famous for its sweetness, cream on the top, and balance of flavor.
If you’ve ever added a packet of sugar in espresso, you might notice how the flavor feels off and acidic. The cafecito blends coffee with sugar beforehand so the flavors infuse and become one.
You can enjoy it as is or use it for a base to many drinks. For example, you can easily turn it into a Café con Leche by pouring a cafecito into a mug with whole or evaporated milk.
It’s the perfect drink for social gatherings or for giving you an extra jolt of energy after lunch.
