Since then, production has been steadily declining. Because coffee exports are regulated by the government and primarily operate on a fixed-price basis, there is little room for growth. In addition, the majority of the coffee produced is consumed by the local population.

Added to this is a natural sweetness that pairs perfectly with brown sugar. An espresso maker is used to prepare the classic Caf\u00e9 Cubano. The first few drops of coffee are caught in a spoon and whisked with 1 to 2 teaspoons of brown sugar until creamy. The remaining coffee is then added.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 2026 Caf\u00e9 Cubano &#8211; Strong, Sweet, and Hot South America is an absolute powerhouse of global coffee production, especially when it comes to top-quality specialty coffees.
