Best made with a stovetop Cappuccino maker, this rich, sweet, strong coffee is a must have if you ever get to South Florida. At least experience it once. Just make sure that you do not have to sleep any time soon. Read more Servings: According to the size of you cappuccino maker. See less
Ingredients
- sugar : 1 tsp per 2oz. of coffee shopping list
- Coffee: Enough to fill the container screen on the cappuccino maker shopping list
- Water: Fill to the pressure release button. shopping list
How to make it
- Unscrew the bottom of the espresso maker and pour in the fresh, cold water until it is level with the overpressure plug (the little bolt located in the bottom section).
- Insert the funnel-shaped metal filter and fill it with your coffee grounds, tamping it down till it is level. Screw together the espresso maker and place it on your stove burner at a high heat setting.
- Put the sugar into the glass or metal cup. A key to brewing truly authentic Cuban coffee is to make it very sweet--typically, you will measure one teaspoon of sugar for each demitasse cup of Cuban coffee you are brewing.
- As the coffee begins to brew, pour enough of it into the metal cup to moisten the sugar, and then place the coffee back on the burner to finish brewing. Whisk the sugar with the coffee into a thick paste.
- When the coffee is done brewing, pour it into the metal cup, gently stirring it into the sugar-and-coffee paste. With practice, this paste will "foam-up" as you stir in the rest of the coffee, forming a chocolate-brown layer of form that the Cubans call " espumita."
- Pour your Cuban coffee into demitasse cups or the traditional Cuban tacitas (tiny china cups).
- Serve hot.
