    La manera autentica de hacer café cubano es usando una greca, tal como la que ve en arriba en la foto. Pero, si tiene una maquina de hacer expreso, siga las siguientes instrucciones:

    1. Añada la cantidad de café deseado, marcas cubanas comunes son Bustelo, Pilón y la Llave.
    2. Para cada tasita de café que piensa hacer, use una cucharadita de azúcar. La clave de hacer el café cubano es que es súper dulce. El truco es echar la azúcar en la greca antes de hervir el café.
    3. Hierva el café tal como si fuera expreso. El café se va a verter sobre la azúcar en la greca al momento que empiece a hervir. Después de que se llene la greca, revuélvalo rápidamente para disolver la azúcar. Vierta el café en varias tasitas y disfrútelo.
