What's in your cup?

This morning I treated myself to Cubita coffee in a 6 cup Bialetti stove-top. Three double faux-Espressos and I was well lit, fulla piss & vinegar & ready for anything work could throw at me.

I'm just sitting down to a cup of cafe con leche made with Cafe Pilon. I brought in one of those $25 Mr Coffee espresso machines to use in the office a couple of weeks back. Its not all gourmet and stuff, but it beats a $4 late from Starbucks.

How do you make your Cafe en Leche?

I'm going to be aking my first today with a double shot out of the Bialetti, about 6 oz of milk heated on the stove to ~ 150 deg F and maybe a teaspoon of suger. Any recommendations outside of that?

No sugar??? Blasphemy!

Cuban coffee should always have extra sugar in it. If you think it’s just sweet enough, add another teaspoon...

I just get a cup, fill it about half way (maybe a little more) with milk, add some sugar. Nuke it for a minute in the microwave and top it off with the espresso I just brewed.
