Im cuban too his way is odd

[@ferinferno4224]

i have cuban relatives, and the way they taught me how to make this kind of coffee is different. we make the coffee like normal using a moka pot, but in a separate container you put one or two scoops of brown sugar. then, as the coffee is being brewed, you take a little bit of the coffee and you add it to the sugar in the other container. it will be hot, so use a metal or heatproof container. then just use a spoon to whip the mixture of sugar and coffee until it turns into a paste. they call this "mejunje". finally, you add the rest of the coffee in the moka pot to the mejunje and mix it together. I don't know if this is just a family thing or a cuban thing, but it is delicious, as my family likes our coffee sweet and with milk too.

[@Whatif211]

This is how my older relatives used to make it.

[@MrOskiee]

This is the traditional way of doing it.

[@just_jxrge_8397]

Could possibly be a regional thing as the way we make it is we brew the coffee and simply add sugar

[@gisela1477]

Just so you know if you hear it in another context, mejunje simply means concoction. So it's correct to call the sugar+coffee mix this way but the word has a wider meaning and you can hear it in a lot of contexts.

[@ph3onixrising]

This...this is the way Exactly how my family does it

[@vroomoon]

I've... never seen a cuban coffee made like that. You usually pull your shot, but the first few drops you put into your brown sugar to make a paste. You then finish the shot and then steam the sugar paste into a thick creme. Pour the sugar creme on top and it's literally the best thing you can put in a cup.

[@justalonelypoteto]

probably why he called it a cuban espresso and not a café cubano, it's meant to be inspired by the "real thing" as in very sweet, strong coffee with crema/foam, not be identical. You gotta admit, it still looks good as hell tho

My parents are probably some of the smartest people I know. The the things I learned in AP clac, my parents already learned in what would be the equivalent of 8th-9th grade and started advanced topics a lot earlier than we do here. My mom was the one who tutored me in math when my algebra teacher was incapable of teaching the class. The quality of life has always been awful under communism, but Cubans are a literate, educated society, and they pass those values of education to their American born children.

for anyone curious real cuban coffee is made w a moka pot - when the first few drops of coffee come out pour them into a couple spoonfuls of sugar and whip until it’s light tan. that’s espumita. then add the rest of the coffee. bam - cortado

[@MysticOceanDollies]

Cuban here. That’s not how you do it. You add the sugar afterwards, not to the grounds itself. You would also use different grounds as well. Adding it that way makes it difficult to control how sweet your Cuban coffee would be (I personally prefer for it to be on the bitter side), and that would not be great at all if you want to make a café con leche. You also usually foam it when adding the sugar as you mix it in. Yes, it is usually a sweet coffee, but you sweeten it to your preference AFTER, not with the grounds.

[@Wurldly]

Ok so I was born in Cuba and grew up in little Havana so…. The way it was always done (and none your way) is the espresso en la cafetera de pinga. Sugar (white works better imo) in a separate container. When the coffee starts coming out of the old cafetera you get a spoon of that and mix it into the coffee and start whipping that thing into a cream colored thick goo. Then you slowly add the coffee as you stir and mix. The result is bomb cuban coffee with a nice espumita (coffee /sugar froth) on top.

That's right. That is the way you make a Cuban espresso/cafe cubano. They use the Bustelo, La Llave or Pilon espresso coffee.

You can get the same effect just put brown sugar or white which ever you prefer in a cup and from the first drips of the coffe you add a little bit on the sugar and stir same results strong, sweet and with lots of foam.
