Cafe Cubano ☕️ #coffee

My man started a war with Cuba with this coffee ☠️

i’m cuban and i’ve never seen anyone make it like this 😭

I've... never seen a cuban coffee made like that.

You usually pull your shot, but the first few drops you put into your brown sugar to make a paste. You then finish the shot and then steam the sugar paste into a thick creme. Pour the sugar creme on top and it's literally the best thing you can put in a cup.

i have cuban relatives, and the way they taught me how to make this kind of coffee is different. we make the coffee like normal using a moka pot, but in a separate container you put one or two scoops of brown sugar. then, as the coffee is being brewed, you take a little bit of the coffee and you add it to the sugar in the other container. it will be hot, so use a metal or heatproof container. then just use a spoon to whip the mixture of sugar and coffee until it turns into a paste. they call this "mejunje". finally, you add the rest of the coffee in the moka pot to the mejunje and mix it together. I don't know if this is just a family thing or a cuban thing, but it is delicious, as my family likes our coffee sweet and with milk too.

I had a Cuban lady give me a shot of espresso with sweet condensed milk she said it’s the traditional way and it was really good ! Try it 👏

[boblyith]

that’s the most whitewashed brown sugar i’ve ever seen 😭😭

I remember as a barista a decade ago and this one of my favorite customer pick ups, sometimes the requests can be obnoxious but honestly I learned a lot. That extra bit of sweetness is nice without being overbearing imo

“It’s sweet, it’s Thick, it’s Strong”

Sounds like Fabio😂😂

I used to make cubano cortado at my last barista job. One of my fav drinks

[jennymartin]

And together … they’re going to gum up your espresso machine .. just pull your shots on top of brown sugar . I promise it’s the exact same flavor

[lolshey]

I love brown sugar in coffee it looks delicious ❤

[Daniel.puopolo]

I did this with dark and light brown sugar! I don’t think I’ll ever do it without ! Thanks!

One of my co-workers introduced me to espresso in my early 20s. He swore by adding a small bit of brown sugar to his. He got me hooked on it too. Love it.

[iroxursoxwithjello]

So I saw this short once before and I work in a cafe so one day when the tech for the espresso machine came in to fix the steam wand I asked him if he had heard of this and if it was worth trying, and he confirmed my suspicions that this is a crazy dumb thing to do as the sugar will get sucked in and recrystalize and could probably do serious damage depending on the machine and how long you had been doing that. So anyway I guess what I'm saying is hes not Cuban theres probably no way they do this and hes advising people to break their expensive espresso machines lol, just pour the dhit over some brown sugar(try coconut palm sugar its better

[Biskity]

You can get the same effect just put brown sugar or white which ever you prefer in a cup and from the first drips of the coffe you add a little bit on the sugar and stir same results strong, sweet and with lots of foam.

[thetruckinmane]

As a Cuban myself I can ASSURE YOU we don’t do this 🤣🤣

[lewishumphries]

Sweet, thick and strong. Sounds perfect, i can only imagine. Coffee looks decent too

[chungusmaximus]

Most Cubans do not do it like this, but it would be interesting to try new ways. I like when I see other cultures play around with things from another. Makes us see things from strange perspectives, very important.

[GoatedBryan]

I’m Cuban, and we do not make it like this lol

Me being Cuban and just pouring sugar in the coffee after it's brewed
