Making Cuban Coffee

Cuban Coffee is a type of espresso that is popular in many Latin countries. It is fairly easy to prepare, and incredibly delicious. Since having lived in Miami I have fallen in love with the stuff, and I am trying to spread the joy of this wonderful coffee drink

Here is how to make the perfect cafecito.

1. Pour ice cold water into your espresso maker. Your espresso maker can be a fancy machine, or just a pot on the the stove.
2. Fill the espresso maker with coffee grounds. Screw the espresso maker together and place on a hot burner.
3. In your metal cup, add about two teaspoons of sugar for each serving.
4. As the coffee begins to percolate, pour enough coffee into your metal cup to moisten the sugar. Mix the moistened sugar and coffee together until it becomes a paste.
5. Once the coffee is done, pour it slowly into the metal cup while gently mixing it with the sugar paste. If done properly, the sugar paste will create a foam. Mix in the rest of the coffee, and there you go, the perfect cafecito.
