Fill an espresso cup with water just under the pressure hinge.

Fill the espresso cup with espresso coffee, packing it down generously until it's full.

Close the espresso maker and place it on the smallest burner with the handle facing you.

Turn the stove on to medium-high heat (about 8).

As the coffee brews, prepare a bowl for the sugar mixture.

Once the first bit of coffee starts to come out, pour it into the bowl with sugar to make the foam.

Mix the sugar with the first bit of coffee until it reaches a creamy light brown consistency.

Once the coffee is done brewing, turn off the stove and carefully pour the brewed coffee into the sugar foam mixture.
