Cafecito is Life

By

This post is sponsored by my favorite coffee people, Café La Llave. The opinions contained in this piece are all my very own.

I often say I lead a charmed life and I have the history to back up that claim. 

  1. I’m Cuban which already makes me feel super lucky. 
  2. I live here in the U.S.A. which makes my life doubly charmed. 
  3. Being Cuban and living in the U.S.A. means I get to have the very best Cuban coffee all the time. See? Charmed Life.

My friends and blog sponsors from Cafe La Llave (my favorite!) have very graciously and generously agreed that it’s time for another MBFCF Coffee Basket Giveaway and I whole-heartedly agree!

See this beautiful Basket of Café La Llave Coffee Goodness? I’m giving one away to a lucky (charmed?)  MBFCF Reader. 

Here’s how to enter the giveaway for the Cafe La Llave Coffee Basket: Leave a comment here on this post to enter and answer one or both of the following questions. 

  1. Do you drink your coffee black or super sweet (as God intended)?
  2. Espresso, Cortadito, Cafe con leche? 

Also, let me tell you how you can have a second AND third chance to win this beautiful basket… 

  1. Go over to Instagram and “like” Cafe La Llave – then come back and leave the comment: “I liked Cafe La Llave on Instagram!” (I’m going on the honor system here, but I’ll do a few spot checks to make sure you’re following directions.)
  2. Then cruise on over to Facebook and like the Cafe La Llave page over there and come back here and say, “I liked Cafe La Llave on Facebook.” 

See what a giver I am? Because when you lead a charmed life, you want everyone to be happy. 

If you’re wondering how to make the perfect cup of Cuban Coffee, please take a moment to appreciate the amazingness. Of course, you understand that it’s more art than science. Behold!

    “… but fist a cafecito and then we solve the world”
    En mi casa el café NO PUEDE FALTAR, la llave es el único que se compra, nacido en el centro de Cuba, como yo.
    1) el café se toma dulce como la vida, no amargo.
    2) si el café es la llave lo tomo como sea: expreso, cortadoro etc.
    I already liked Cafe la llave en Facebook an Instagram.
    I am dying for those coffee cups!!! 😍😍😍

  18. Janice says

    Hello!
    Definitely prefer my Cafe La Llave super sweet. If I’m sharing with my son, we go straight for the shots. When sharing with my daughter, I prepare a twist on a Vietnamese French press favorite and pair it with sweet condensed milk over ice. It’s so delicious!
    I follow them on Instagram and Facebook.
    Have an awesome day!

  19. Gina says

    I prefer Cafe Con Leche! I drink it every morning & have pretty much since I was in the womb! Growing up, we were a Cafe La Llave family, too!

    I can’t believe I didn’t previously like their Facebook & Instagram, but I ‘liked’ them now!

  20. Laura says

    I’ve been drinking cafecito cubano since around 8 yrs old with cafe con leche and pan cubano calientico con mantequilla! Wow! Se me hace la boca agua! To this day I drink my cafe con leche every morning, without the bread now. My boys 17, 21 and 24 love to drink their bushito de cafecito cubano. My eldest makes an awesome cafecito con espumita. We would enjoy this basket very much. Gracias! Laura la Cubana (como me llama mi hijo menor!)

    I drink Cafe La Llave (decaffeinated) and it’s so good! I make a “cafe con leche” every morning and bring it with me to work. That way I can sip it little by little and enjoy it for a long time. Oh and I also add a little brown sugar, sweet.
