In this episode, Ernie shares the way to make the perfect Cuban coffee, aka cafecito, at home using a Moka pot (no additional equipment required).
The beauty of cafecito is that you only need one ounce to get that mega caffeine kick! If you want to share with friends, you order or make a colada, which serves 6-10 people. Using a Moka pot, you automatically make a colada and then can use the left over coffee later for drinks like cafe con leche and/or cortadito. Ernie shares how to make those too.
Cortadito is equal parts milk to espresso. This drink works well with any milk alternative, but is typically served using whole milk, and for an extra special treat, we like to add or substitute evaporated milk. Remember, what makes it Cuban is making espumita for your espresso before adding it to your milk.
Cafe con leche is much like a latte. Only, Cuban coffee with espumita is made using sugar, so you have an extra kick of sweetness. Just like the cortadito, any milk substitute can work, but it is best served with whole milk or diluted evaporated milk for the most authentic experience. There is a SECRET ingredient that helps make THE BEST cafe con leche, see if you catch it, only pros know to add it when served at a cafeteria.
Ernie shows you exactly how to use a Moka pot to make any coffee. This stove top coffee maker is an essential in any coffee lover's kitchen.
What makes Cuban coffee Cuban is using the traditional product AND espumita (Cuban liquid gold). Otherwise, using a Moka pot with any variety of coffee leads to a multitude of coffee experiences. Let us know if you would to learn about more coffee recipes using a Moka pot.

I love it. Thank you for explaining the differences between the Cuban coffee options, all of which are delicious and pretty much a daily part of most Miami natives lives even if they’re not Cuban. Now I’m off to make some. Yum.

Was in Key West this past weekend and ordered a colada...and I drank the entire thing alone. It was sooooo good, but I thought my heart was going to beat out of my chest! The best thing during the heat of the day was a large cafe con leche over ice!
