This is why I could never get into Starbucks. It is because here in South Florida we have much superior Cuban coffee available. BTW, I recommend you go to the Babalu blog to see the photos of how to make Cuban coffee.

probably the most useful thread I've seen in a very long time.

Florida should be sawn off and kicked away, but long live Cuban coffee and cuisine.

I love good coffee. Unfortunately, my Krupps maker brews only 7/11-grade drip.

And in every home there’s always the One Person who gets asked to make the coffee because they just “know” how to make it right.

That is me in our family. I am super stoked to have an opportunity to do an even better job of pleasing my husband. Thanks for the secret recipe.

When I was living in Miami, a cortado of Cuban coffee cost 70 cents, while Cafe con Leche (espresso with steamed milk) and toasted Cuban bread with butter cost a dollar at the 24-hour place (Beacon Cafeteria) near my office.

Much better than Starbucks (thanks to the Pilon coffee company, whose roasting plant was but a half mile from my apartment, and which you could smell while playing at Doral), and kept me wired for dealing with my crazy clients in the Panamanian garment industry.

I check in on with Babalu daily. Great site. I FReepers need to stop by and say hi. And after a taste of Cuban coffee most will throw rocks at Starbucks!
