Cuban Coffee

Cultural Context

Cuban coffee, or Café Cubano, has its roots in the 19th century when coffee was first cultivated in Cuba. It reflects the island's rich coffee culture and is often enjoyed in social settings, symbolizing hospitality and warmth. Traditionally served sweet, this strong espresso is a daily ritual for many Cubans and has gained popularity in the U.S. and beyond, with variations emerging to suit different tastes.
