no. they use a special type of sugar and i believe its added prior to actually brewing the coffee as well.

its difficult to recreate. i've tried.

Interesting. I definitely have heard of it, but I don't feel like I hear about it that much. I have a group of Cuban friends up here, but didn't really know it was a thing.

Use a moka pot and Cafe Bustello.

Get a cup (like a measuring cup) and put at least two tsp of sugar in it. (I think Cubans may acutally use more sugar, but that's about all I can take)

Put about a tsp or two of the first drops of coffee that comes out of the pot into the sugar to make this syrupey viscus very black mixture.

Whip the hell out of that mixture with your teaspoon for 2-3 minutes. It should increase 3-4 times in volume into this pretty lightly caramel colored froth.

Pour the rest of the finished brewing coffee in that and pour it in the little coffee cup.
