Café Cubano, also known as cafecito, is a short, strong espresso sweetened with whipped sugar foam (espumita) made by vigorously mixing the first drops of espresso with demerara or white sugar. Served in small cups, it's a daily ritual across Cuba, especially in ventanitas (walk-up windows) and family kitchens. Despite its size, it packs bold flavor, caffeine, and culture. Typically shared among friends as a colada or enjoyed solo as a quick morning or afternoon boost.

Common variations include cortadito (with steamed milk) and colada (a large cafecito shared in shot cups).
