actually italians do espumita (we call it spuma) as well, but it’s more like a special occasion thing if that makes sense. my mom would do it once in a while. she wouldn’t pack the coffee as italians don’t do that (no shade here- i love cafecito and understand the difference 😊), but made spuma to sweeten her coffee rather than just adding sugar to the finished cup. thank you for the video! very informative. edit to add- my mom also did it with the first few drops of coffee ❤

I haven’t tried to make Cuban coffee just yet but I’ve been wanting to since a colleague who was from Miami made it for me. I recently bought a moka pot and have only been doing espresso or coffee with it but I’ve watched a couple of videos on making Cuban coffee (your video is by far the best) but I just wanted to say that the instructions that came with my moka pot said to fill it with coffee but definitely NOT tamp it. If I hadn’t read the instructions I would have tamped as I’m used to making espresso in a typical modest home espresso machine. Other than that, your instructions are great, thank you!
@jameshaulenbeek59314 ай бұрын
You do have to tamp it down a bit - definitely not like espresso, but lightly packed, it will make a great cup. You'll have to experiment a little to find what works best for you.

I have a 4cup Bialetti...I make the whole pot...do the whipped sugar mix (abt 3tsp)...and do a 1:1 with boiled milk (actually half&half when I have it)....it's the absolute best coffee this Puerto Rican makes at home. However, I have fond memories of my Abuelita's cafe con leche....using a colador. ❤️❤️❤️

Over tightening like that only destroys the gasket sooner. Just a moment after you feel resistance from the rubber is all you need. The valve is there to release pressure in an emergency, for instance if your coffee is packed in so tight that the water isn't passing through. The risk of covering the valve and over packing the coffee puck is that the unit may explode.

In my well-loved Bialetti Moka pot, there is a tiny, nondescript waterline marked just below the valve in the lower chamber.
