After three hours of "Coffee This, Fidel that" we finally ordered our Coffee. And you know what - it cost a buck !! So as a result - I've decided to educate my Gringo and non Cuban friends on how to order their coffee in South Florida. Please take notes...

Cafe -(Kha-feh)
A straight shot of espresso with lots of sugar. Served in a small cup. Costs about $1 and comes with a free Cigar. Nah j/k
Cafe con leche-(Kha-feh kon leh-che)
A serving of mostly milk with some espresso. Prepared as ordered. Served in a regular cup with lipstick left from the previous customer. :)
Cortado-(Khor-tah-dou) - Literally means "cut" - half serving of espresso with another half of milk. Be careful when pronouncing since it sounds like a cuss word in some Cuban villages. You might literally get cut in that case.
Colada-(Kho-la-dah) - literally means "brew" - this is coffee at it's strongest form. Usually served in multiple mini sized cups by a 50 year old cuban lady with purple lipstick and a hair-net.
I would like to thank my Cuban friend iGor for educating me in the wonderful world of Cuban Coffee....... SEE YA AT STARBUCKS BRO!
