Like most voyages by commercial airlines the hassles are front and
backloaded. The in middle the 25-minute
flight from Miami to Cienfuegos, Cuba was smooth and as good as April in the
tropics can be. And, the bureaucratic
two-step arriving was easier than expected, but by the time our tour pulled
into the Hotel Jagua, I was in serious need of an espresso.
So much so, I headed for the hotel coffee bar before settling into our
room.
I ordered a double/doppio.

| Pulling a Doppio |
I watched the barista place two teaspoons of sugar before pulling the
espresso into my cup.
Welcome to Cuban espresso con sucre.
The barista pointed out the secret to making a delicious espresso Cubano
was to put the sugar in first then have the espresso pour over.
Simple.
