Cuban Coffee

Cultural Context

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.
