What's in your cup?

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.

It needs sugar, no doubt. I remember it to be VERY sweet.

I had one with 1/2 teaspoon of suger, and one with no sugar. While both were very good, I did prefer the one with sugar. Not something I could drink alot of though, very VERY rich, even made with 1% milk (now THAT's balsphemous).

Jon, if you ever go anywhere and see a Tim Horton's coffee place, go in and ask for a double/double. Timmy's smokes Dunkin Donuts!!!
