Tag: Espumita

A single shot of Cuban coffee often packs a caffeine punch, generally containing a similar amount of caffeine as a standard espresso, around 40–80 milligrams [1, 2]. The intense concentration, brewing method, and serving style all contribute to its strength.

According to traditional recipes, a Cuban colada can contain anywhere from 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar per serving, but this can vary depending on the preparation. The amount of sugar in a Cuban colada is key to creating the signature "espumita" foam and delivering its characteristically sweet and robust flavor.
