cafecito
Sweet strong espresso
Cafecito is a small, strong cup of Cuban-style espresso, typically sweetened with sugar during brewing.
The word is Spanish diminutive for "little coffee." Beyond the drink itself, cafecito often implies the social ritual around it—a quick break with friends or colleagues: Let's grab a cafecito.
Common in Cuban-American communities, especially in Miami.
