That is straight black, the foam you see on top is made when the coffee first starts to drip, you take a couple drops and mix it with the sugar vigorously, it turns into that yummy foam!!!

We used to make espresso on the stove in one of those when I was a kid. 😋 I also used to grind the coffee by hand in a wooden grinder! The coffee fell into a little drawer in front.
The whole experience/ ritual and aroma just pervades your essence making coffee by hand like that. 😊 Thanks for sharing and evolving that memory! 👍

That's so cool Blue!! I grew up grinding coffee and making it for my family as a young girl. Once I learned to make it perfectly. I was told I was ready for marriage!! 😂 nowadays I don't grind it but I sure do brew it a whole lot,4-5 times a day!!!

I live in Florida and love the Cuban Coffee. Only time I can find it is when I go down to Miami.

Jenibean- how do you make your coffee these days? I've gotten so busy, I only brew it by hand maybe once every few months or so. At least I still drink from locally roasted beans daily. 😉

Jena, it's also very elegant. I love the coffee cup. You savor the aroma when your brewing your coffee. I don't drink coffee but I'm drawn to the aroma.

Even though I've not had a taste, that appears to be a great coffee lol
