To make this French drink, pull one shot of espresso into a small glass, then pour in an equal amount of condensed milk. The two liquids should stay separated until stirred. The French term Cafe Bonbon means “Candy Coffee.”

CAFE CUBANO
Commonly served in thimble-sized paper cups, Cuban coffee is often served at the end of a meal in tiny cups called tacitas, which are even smaller than demitasse cups.
To prepare a Cafe Cubano pour ice-cold water into the espresso maker (e.g., pot on stove) and fill it with the coffee grounds.
Screw the espresso pot together and place it on the stove burner. Place approximately two teaspoons of sugar into your cup and then when the coffee begins percolating pour a bit into your cup to moisten the sugar into a paste.
When the coffee has finished brewing, slowly pour some into the cup and gently mix it with the sugary paste—this should create a foam. Now add the rest of the coffee.
