Heat up the stovetop espresso maker without the coffee inside.

Fill the stovetop espresso maker with about 8 ounces of water up to the release valve.

Add 4 to 6 tablespoons of turbinado sugar into a mixing cup.

Pack the coffee into the basket of the stovetop espresso maker, ensuring it is packed in but not overflowing.

Place the stovetop espresso maker on the heat source and wait for the water to boil.

Once the coffee starts brewing, leave the lid open to catch the darkest extraction of the espresso directly into the sugar.

As the coffee brews, mix the sugar with the espresso to create a thick, creamy paste that resembles peanut butter.

Continue to brew until you hear a different gurgling sound, indicating the coffee is done.

Pour the brewed coffee into the mixing cup with the sugar mixture and mix well to incorporate the foam.

Serve the Cuban coffee in demitasse cups.
