Cuban espresso, also known as cafecito or Cuban coffee, is a strong and flavorful coffee that is a staple in Cuba. It is made by brewing finely ground dark roasted coffee beans using an espresso machine or a stovetop espresso maker called a cafetera. The coffee is typically served in small cups and is enjoyed throughout the day. Cuban espresso has a rich and bold flavor with a hint of sweetness, thanks to the addition of sugar during the brewing process. It is often enjoyed with a slice of lime or a small amount of milk. The strong caffeine kick of Cuban espresso makes it a popular choice for those needing a pick-me-up during the day.
