What are the best ingredients for a really good cafe con leche con azucar? Best beans, milk and/or condensed milk, type of sugar, etc.? Do you have a good brewing time recommendation or ideal milk temperature? How much sugar? I'm not looking for a recipe with cinnamon or with instant coffee. Thanks!

Cuban Coffee Jorge: The secret to Cuban coffee, or what most Cubans call a "cafecito," is the finely ground, dark roasted coffee beans used in the brew. Raúl: Two brands favored by Cubans are Bustelo and Pilon. Jorge: Bustelo is very popular at restaurants and walk-up windows throughout Miami. Pilon is very popular in Cuban homes. Glenn: You also need an espresso machine. You can get something adequate for less than $100 at Target. You can also get inexpensive Italian espresso pots that are used on the stove top. Jorge: Follow the instructions on the espresso machine, every machine is a little different. Just fill the little cup as directed for the desired amount. Add a quantity of sugar to the pot that the coffee drips into. This creates a dark, intensely flavored, and sweet brew. Raúl: Add sugar to the pot BEFORE you start brewing -- as much as you dare, but Cuban café needs to be SWEET. Three or four teaspoons per batch is a good place to start. Glenn: To be completely authentic, use a spoon to stir up the first few drops of coffee with the sugar in the pot to create a sweet, frothy foam -- called "espumita." This will rise to the top when you pour the coffee in the cup.
