cafe cubano

Sweet Cuban shot

Café cubano is a strong, sweet espresso drink originating in Cuba.

The coffee is brewed directly over sugar, creating a thick, caramelized layer called espuma or crema.

The result is intensely sweet and richly flavored, served in small quantities: I need a café cubano to get through this afternoon.

Also called Cuban coffee or cafecito.
