Café Cubano (Cuban Coffee) | Cafecito Cuban Style Coffee | Moka Pot Coffee Routine

  • I wanted to show you guys how I make Cuban coffee. Enjoying a cafecito with a guava and cheese pastelitos from a Cuban bakery is one of the things I miss most about living in Miami. Drinking a cafecito was also an essential coffee routine. Luckily, I did learn to make a café Cubano while I was there so I wanted to show you guys how I make one in a Moka Pot.
    Special thanks to Hexnub (bit.ly/40dlBZi) for sending over the moka pot stand to try. This is not a sponsored video and they did not pay me to make this video. But I told they if I enjoyed their product I would feature it in a video.

    I recently inherited a moka pot from my 101 year old cuban neighbor who passed away not too long ago. He's always looked out for me since I was 4 years old and my family has taken care of him in his advanced age. I've been looking into how to use a moka pot and saw this video. I cried; this was a beautiful and educational video. Thank you. Viva Cuba Libre.

    I'm Italian, my grandma also likes to 'whip' moka coffee with sugar to make that cream and she showed me that if you whip it with a wooden spoon the result will be more even and creamier because since the spoon won't scratch you can be rougher with it, hope this helps!

    As a Cuban native living in Miami since 1962, that coffee is too light for Cuban Coffee. You did all the steps perfectly except for the type of coffee you used. No Cuban will ever use any other coffee than the dark espresso, Cafe Bustelo or, sometimes, La LLave. It has to be really dark, strong, and full of body. Love how detailed you are, great job.

      "Strong" can mean a lot of things. It can mean high in caffeine. It can mean highly bitter. It can mean really dense (lots of body). It can mean highly roasted. There are two main types of coffee sold: arabica and robusta. Robusta is easier to grow, so it's favored for high volume commodity coffee, that is: cheap coffee. It is not grown with care for flavor, so to mask that issue it is often roasted quite dark. Dark roast is like well done steak: you taste the cooking reaction, you lose the flavor of the original product, be it the coffee bean or the beef (some people like this, that's cool, some people prefer tasting the original product more, that's cool). Robusta also naturally has more caffeine than arabica on average (this varies a ton since it's an agricultural product). Robusta is naturally more bitter than arabica. So the story here is that, with the USA being a total asshole to Cuba with so many embargos etc., Cuba mostly only had access to cheap coffee. So Cubans built up a culture around these "strong" attributes, really mostly making do with what they had access to. And since this cheap coffee really doesn't taste great, they masked that issue with creatively caramelized sugar. This is Cuban resilience, and ingenuity. Enjoying it doesn't mean you're cheap, you're celebrating a heritage of strength and thriving in compromised circumstances. That said, don't let that mean this is the only style of coffee you'll try or enjoy. Saying "no Cuban will ever use any other coffee" is kinda sad. Cubans are far more creative and resourceful than that. Light roast arabicas taste absolutely astounding with their own sweetness, no sugar required (and can hit several of those definitions of "strong"). Dark roast robustas with the caramelized sugar is delicious. All the coffees in between are amazing. Gatekeeping is not a good look. Just enjoy coffee, and enjoy this video's story and production.

    As a self-proclaimed professional cafecito maker, I can tell you that you definitely need to tamp it. Not as hard as you would on a steam-operated espresso maker, but the grounds definitely need to be compressed to give it thickness when it percolates. Hence the reason why it came out slightly watery. Keep perfecting that recipe! 💪🏼

  • @sonicpark1
    @sonicpark1 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Great video, thx for sharing I gotta get that funnel and the pre’boil added to my technique!
    Three things to consider:
    1- pack the funnel with more coffee for thicker taster brew and get more foam
    2- Take the coffee maker off the burner as soon as the brewing starts, and pour out those few drops over your sugar in the receptacle then put it back on the burner to complete the brew process, while you grind and make a stiffer (less drippier) golden sugar paste
    Lastly 3- when you pour the brew into the receptacle, space the coffee maker so your pour stream is at least 3” from the receptacle and place your stir spoon (convexly) interrupting the stream before it hits the foam paste in the receptive.
    Add those steps to your technique and notice how much richer tastier and foamier your next brew will be, QUE DISFRUTES!

    In Italy we do this coffee too, my dad used to make it when I was a teenager, it was the Sunday coffee🤩 you have to mix a lot more time with your spoon to obtain a very dense coffee cream, so you can see the cream on the top of coffee, when you mix it with coffee inside your cup. ❤️

Next time just don't take too much coffee to begin in. Just a few drops will do. Scrape the sugar like you did against the cup with the back of the spoon and go adding a little bit of coffee at a time. You'll have the best "espumita" ever!!!

Best than any Cuban place in south Florida.

    Just a small tip: try to not touch grounded coffee and instead putting a little more in the moka with the funnel-thing you got, try to make a truncated cone shape without pressing. And if you have no hurry, try going with extremely low heat.

    1. Definitely tamp the coffee. Not as hard as you’d do with an espresso machine but a light press with your fingers will build a bit of pressure
    2. Use lower heat for the brew. If your stove has temperatures somewhere between 120°c-140°c
    3. Use a bit more coffee for the whisking and whisk a bit longer. It should resemble light whipped cream
    4. Cuban coffee is usually always a dark roast

Don’t press coffe, moka is the opposite of espresso machine have to look like a little mountain. If you hit the water will be faster but you change the taste, water should be room temperature and the fire lower as possible. If you can find, old tradition in Italy wants a little iron cup to cover the moka holes so you can leave the top open. We use to call it caffè cream and it’s old like the moka machine.

    In my country (Bulgaria) we call the Moka Pot a Cuban Coffee Pot. I'm not 100% sure but I believe it is because both countries used to be in the so-called Eastern Block during the Cold War and we must have imported our Coffee Pots from Cuba.

  • @szymonbalcer
    @szymonbalcer ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The reason you should use hot water for a moka pot is because it speeds up the brew which results in a smoother cup of coffee. If you let the water heat up in the moka pot it will not only take longer but it will also result in a over extracted cup of coffee which we don't want! :)
    PS lovely video!

      what if I use hot water and the coffee still tastes bitter and acidic?

    • @szymonbalcer
      @szymonbalcer ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@Daniel-dj7fh Bittereness usually derive from overextraction. Over extraction usually is associated with too long of a brew time or the coffee bean is too fine. On the other hand, acidity can be reduced by grinding your beans finer as courser grinds can result in more of an acidic note. However it could be just the case that the beans that you are using are light roast and are acidic in flavour. I recommend medium roast for Moka pots if you don't like acidity. Don't bother with dark as it can be overwhelming with bitter notes unless that's what you are going for.
      Assuming you have the right coffee grind size, I recommend brewing at a low to medium heat just so you get the brew going and try to maintain a steady flow. The moment you hear sissing or squirting that's when you cool down the bottom chamber under cold running water at the sink. Its a crucial step as 5-10 second too long on the stove and you'll end up with burned coffee which is the most common mistake that people make with Moka Pots.
      How to tell if coffee beans are too course or too fine?
      Too course the flow rate will be rapid, too fine and the flow will often times get stuck and be too slow. You are aiming for a nice steady flow. I recommend watching James Hoffman videos about the Moka Pot but I hope I cleared some things up! :)

      @@LMvdB02 I used to be a barista for four years and I experimented a lot so speaking from my own experience. Some brewing methods such as espresso produce more acidic taste but thats mainly due to the pressure and of course the bean itself. It will vary but generally speaking, too acidic equals to a grind that's too course and too bitter equals to coffee that is too fine and overly saturated/burnt producing a bitter taste.
