Cafe Cubano (for ECM Giotto owners)

One fine day a lady (originally from Argentina) came into the roasthouse and requested a Cafe Cubano. We had Cuban coffee roasted so she showed me how to make one. In Cuba the barista will add half a tspn of sugar to the ground coffee when loading the portafilter. The extraction gives a deep, sweet and intense espresso as a result of the sugar caramelising and blending with the coffee.

You could try this with any coffee type and achieve the same enjoyable experience.
