Making a Cortadito without a fancy machine #cortadito #espresso #cubancoffee #espresocubano

Fill the filter of the cafetera completely with coffee.

Fill the water basin of the cafetera without overfilling it.

Place the cafetera on the stove and heat it up.

Add 3 teaspoons of sugar to a cup to make the crema.

Once the coffee starts coming up, pour it into the cup with sugar and whip until it forms a thick paste.

Set the paste aside and heat the milk until it simmers, not boils.

Use a NutriBullet or similar to froth the milk until foamy.

Pour the brewed coffee into the cup with the sugar paste, mixing well to dissolve the sugar.

Fill espresso cups halfway with the coffee mixture.

Spoon a little bit of frothed milk on top of the espresso.
