Description
A rich and sweet Cuban coffee, known as cafecito, brewed using a stovetop moka pot, perfect for a daily routine.
Ingredients
- Finely ground coffee (dark roast)
- Granulated sugar (2 to 3 teaspoons per serving)
- Cold, filtered water
- Moka pot (3-cup recommended)
- Small bowl and spoon
Instructions
- Fill the bottom chamber of the moka pot with water up to the safety valve. Add finely ground coffee to the filter basket and level it off without tamping. Screw on the top chamber and place it over medium heat.
- While heating, add sugar to a small heatproof bowl. When the first drops of coffee appear, pour about one to two teaspoons over the sugar and whisk until you get a glossy paste (espuma).
- Once the coffee is brewed, pour it over the sugar espuma and stir gently to combine. Serve in small demitasse cups.
Notes
Keep the heat at medium to prevent bitterness. Use fresh coffee and filtered water for the best flavor.
