Oye chico adonde estas! Your blog and Cuban recipes are amazing. I miss your post I tell you if you posted more frequently like once a month a Cuban recipe you’d have one of the best cuban cooking blogs out there. Your posts, pictures, and recipes are of high quality and very authentic I love how you share techniques.

You need to come back!

Thank you so very much! I just returned from my 1st ever trip to Miami. In fact I had never been to FL before. Outside the Miami-Dade Police Dept Headquarters, I ran into El Ray De Las Fritas, a small open air restaurant. My coworker said, I must have a cafe negra, and I immediately fell in love with this concoction.

I came home to Minneapolis and just could not drink that large cup of American style coffee anymore! This Cuban coffee is a must have, right now. I need to get setup immediately.

Hello Chester, England! I don’t think think there is a huge difference in Italian espresso grinds and Cuban coffee. Just be sure it is not ground at the finest setting, but one under. Why bother though, as you said, just buy the stuff online (click on the coffee above and that will link you to Amazon)

If you’re using the Macchinetta as described in this post, you really should be getting that visco-deliciousness you describe in the first bit of output. Let us know how it goes!

hi from Chester, England.

As a fellow coffee whore (after visiting Cuba & Latvia suprisingly)
I have failed on the first attempt, I just made very sweet coffee, good but not right!

We don’t get Cuban coffee beans here, just lots of italian. Does this cause
a big change in results (using italian beans instead of Cuban)
what I can remember of Cuban coffee is that as soon as it came out of the big silver machine, without sugar, it was very viscous and delicious, how do I replicate this at home on the stovetop?

Any help would be appreciated!

I’m going to order some cubita online now!

Adios!

I never liked coffee until I visited Miami with my former Cuban girlfriend. When she dropped me off at the home of her cousin to stay over night, she told me, “If they offer you coffee, take it”. “You know I don’t like coffee.” “If they offer you coffee, take it”, she repeats. I figured I would just choke it down and hope they don’t offer a second cup.

One sip, and I was hooked. Then I was afraid they wouldn’t offer me a second cup. I’ve since learned to make it the proper way, but have been successful it making good espumita only about half the time. I hope your more detailed instructions will make it easier for me.
