| 2. Fill the espresso maker with coffee grounds. Screw the espresso maker together and place on a hot burner. Make sure to use oven mitts when removing the Cuban coffee maker, it will get hot. | |
| 3. In a metal cup or mug, add about 2 Tablespoons of sugar. | |

4. As the coffee begins to percolate, pour enough coffee into your cup to moisten the sugar. Using a small spoon, quickly mix the moistened sugar and coffee together until it becomes a paste. |
 |
5. Once the coffee is done, slowly pour it into the sugar mixture while mixing it gently. If correctly done (may need some practice), the sugar mixture will create a foam. Mix in the rest of the coffee… and this is how you can make the perfect cup of Cuban Coffee. |

6. Serve into individual cups. |
Buen Provecho!
