What tequila is to liquor, cafe cubano is to the world of coffee.
It is not sipped or savored … it is shot! Cafe cubano is at-least double the strength of American coffee. It is a daily morning ritual for Cubans and Cuban-Americans.

The old-fashioned way to make café cubano is in a pot on the stove, though the truth is that Cubans in this country often make their coffee in Italian espresso makers. The tutorial below will use a Stovetop Espresso pot.
