Economy Cuban coffee maker, Aluminum construction. 1 cup

The single-cup aluminum cafetera is the smallest workhorse in the Cuban kitchen — the one that comes out when it's just you, a spoon of sugar, and the need for a cafecito before the day starts.

Stovetop moka-style construction in lightweight aluminum: bottom water chamber, funnel basket for ground espresso, top collection chamber with the classic octagonal silhouette. Brews approximately one demitasse — the right size for a solo cafecito or one cortadito.

Common Uses: Brewing cafecito with Café Bustelo or Café La Llave, pulling a quick shot to whip espumita with sugar, making a single cortadito with steamed milk, or preparing the espresso base for café con leche at breakfast.

Cultural Context: The one-cup cafetera is the cafecito starter kit for college students moving out, abuelos living alone, and anyone who learned to make coffee by watching someone else do it on a gas burner. It's the size that travels — into dorm rooms, into first apartments, into care packages headed north.

Pairs With: Café Bustelo or La Llave bricks, raw sugar for espumita, evaporated milk for café con leche, and a small set of demitasse cups.

Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households who still measure mornings one cafetera at a time.
