Cuban Coffee (Cafecito) image

Rich and delicious, Cuban coffee (also known as a cafecito or cafe Cubano) is a wonderful after-dinner espresso drink.

Provided by Colleen Graham

Categories     Dessert     Beverage     Coffee

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/4 to 1/2 cup coffee (finely ground; or amount needed for pot)
1 1/2 cups water (or amount for coffee pot)
1/4 cup white granulated sugar

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • In a large stovetop espresso maker, brew coffee according to the manufacturer's instructions using fine-ground coffee.
  • In a glass measuring cup with at least 2 cup capacity, add the sugar. Once a little bit of coffee has brewed, add about 1 tablespoon to the sugar. Reserve a little extra coffee concentrate in a small dish to use if needed. Place the pot back on the stove to finish brewing.
  • Make the espuma by using a small whisk or spoon to vigorously beat the sugar and espresso until it is a pale brown, almost foamy paste, about 2 to 3 minutes. You cannot beat it too much.
  • When the coffee has finished brewing, pour it over the espuma while stirring to incorporate. Let the foamy crema rise to the top.
  • Pour into individual demitasse espresso cups . Shake the measuring cup a little and use a spoon as you pour to get crema into each cup.
  • Serve and enjoy.

CUBAN COFFEE (CAFECITO)



Cuban Coffee (Cafecito) image

No Cuban meal is complete without a cafecito, or Cuban coffee. More than just an espresso, a well-made cafecito has sweet crema floating over strong espresso coffee. Despite its name, crema has nothing to do with cream-it's actually foam made from sugar that's been thoroughly beaten with a splash of coffee.

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

Espresso ground coffee
1/4 cup sugar
Special Equipment
Stovetop espresso maker

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-cup stovetop espresso maker with water and coffee according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to pack down the coffee. Place the espresso maker over moderate heat.
  • While the coffee is brewing, place the sugar in a tall container with a spout, such as a liquid measuring cup. As soon as the coffee starts to fill the reservoir, pour about 1/2 tablespoon of coffee over the sugar and return the espresso maker to the heat.
  • Using a spoon, beat the sugar and espresso until the mixture turns a pale beige color and most of the sugar granules begin to dissolve, about 1 minute. The mixture may seem a bit dry at first, but keep beating, and it will come together.
  • Once all the coffee has been brewed, slowly pour the coffee over the creamed sugar, stirring to make sure all the sugar dissolves. A thin layer of sugar foam (crema) should float on top of the coffee. Pour the coffee into espresso cups and serve immediately.

CUBAN COFFEE (CAFé CUBANO)



Cuban Coffee (Café Cubano) image

Want to learn how to make Cuban coffee at home? You don't have to move to Miami to have an amazing café Cubano. With this easy recipe, you can replicate your abuela's delicious espresso with the espumita on top!

Provided by Emma

Categories     Drinks

Number Of Ingredients 3

1.6 oz ground Cuban coffee (or medium-ground coffee)
2 cups filtered water
1/2 cup white or brown sugar (or a mixture of the two)

Steps:

  • Fill the lower chamber of the moka pot with boiling water to just below the valve, then fill the funnel with ground coffee, tap the side to remove air pockets, and level the top with a knife. Do not tamp the grounds.
  • Screw on the upper chamber and place the moka pot over low heat. (If you're using a gas stove, keep the flame smaller than the base of the moka pot.) After a few minutes, you'll hear the water begin to boil, and the espresso will start to come out of the top.
  • While the water is heating, measure the sugar for the espumita into the creamer or a glass measuring cup. As soon as the first drops of espresso come out of the top of the moka pot, pour enough into the sugar to moisten it, then put the pot back on the heat. Whip the mixture with a spoon or an electric mixer until the espumita is light brown, thickened, and trebled in volume.
  • Once the stream of espresso in the moka pot is honey colored, remove it from the heat and immediately pour the espresso into the creamer with the espumita. Stir to combine.
  • Let the mixture stand until the espumita has floated to the top, then pour into tacitas (demitasse cups) and serve immediately.

CUBAN COFFEE (CAFECITO)



Cuban Coffee (Cafecito) image

No Cuban meal is complete without a cafecito, or Cuban coffee. More than just an espresso, a well-made cafecito has sweet crema floating over strong espresso coffee. Despite its name, crema has nothing to do with cream-it's actually foam made from sugar that's been thoroughly beaten with a splash of coffee. Many don't realize that it's the technique for making the crema-not the type of coffee beans used-that makes the coffee Cuban. But for the full Cuban experience, Castro recommends using Café Bustelo espresso. Chef, nutritionist, and cooking teacher Lourdes Castro shared this recipe for Cuban coffee, or cafecito, as part of a festive Cuban party menu she created for Epicurious.

Categories     Beverages

Time 15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

espresso ground coffee (I use decaf expresso)
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Fill a 6-cup stovetop espresso maker with water and coffee according to the manufacturer's instructions, making sure to pack down the coffee. Place the espresso maker over moderate heat.
  • While the coffee is brewing, place the sugar in a tall container with a spout, such as a liquid measuring cup. As soon as the coffee starts to fill the reservoir, pour about 1/2 tablespoon of coffee over the sugar and return the espresso maker to the heat.
  • Using a spoon, beat the sugar and espresso until the mixture turns a pale beige color and most of the sugar granules begin to dissolve, about 1 minute. The mixture may seem a bit dry at first, but keep beating, and it will come together.
  • Once all the coffee has been brewed, slowly pour the coffee over the creamed sugar, stirring to make sure all the sugar dissolves. A thin layer of sugar foam (crema) should float on top of the coffee. Pour the coffee into espresso cups and serve immediately.
  • SPECIAL EQUIPMENT:.
  • Stovetop espresso makers come in several sizes. This recipe is written for the 6-cup version, yet you can substitute any other size simply by adjusting the amount of coffee and sugar used. Ultimately, the coffee's sweetness is up to you.
  • TECHNIQUES:.
  • Making the sugar crema is the technique that defines Cuban coffee. You cannot overbeat the sugar, so err on the side of beating too much. If you accidentally pour too much coffee into the sugar, continue with the beating process, as you will still achieve sugar foam.
