What a beautiful story - as a coffee lover it's always great to see people going the full length and roasting the beans themselves. It shows that they really care about the product!

Feeling the love from msnbc 😆 y’all need to cover us more

[@alenegonebad1259]

I love these stories! More please

So the cafecito is what Gabriel Iglesias drank a bowl of when he was in FL?

😅

[@heyshitassss]

TBF the waiter did troll him hard, anyone with some bitter coffee tolerance can down the whole cup of Colada with no problem but a bowl of bitter coffee is too much for anyone.

I can't imagine why any Cuban would support the democrat party.

Ha the way he poured from the foam cup is a Fail. You pinch the edge and don’t spill.

[@bangswift]

Latin coffee is delicious

[@Brandonsniffskids]

FJB and msnbc

[@mangquelhayes1426]

The best "cuban coffee" story is told by Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias. Just google it. Thank me later.

Not news. You'd think they would figure out people come here for news, not whatever this is. Please do better.
