> Cuban coffee in a Cuban or Cuban-American home is almost always made with a moka pot; the Cuban concoction cafecito is made by quickly whipping the first few drops of moka pot coffee with sugar, creating a paste that both flavors the coffee and simulates a classic espresso foam.
We make cafecitos with a Bialetti moka pot in my house. It took quite a few tries to get it right, the sugar paste especially, but they're a real treat now that we have it figured out.
Here's our recipe and a few notes: https://snippi.com/s/jrn4ig3 Note that we're using brown sugar instead of table sugar. This is simply a preference.
To add to the above, if you have a Nespresso machine at home then try the Scuro double espresso + a hefty amount of your sweetener of choice (I like maple syrup). It produces a very similar cup to the cafecito recipe in my last comment.
