I know you may be getting a little weary of my ongoing all-month celebration. But 14 years in the Blogosphere is quite a feat around here. DId you know that 14 is like 72(!) in dog years? See? It’s not nothing. And I’m super grateful for all the Cuban friends and vendors who have helped me celebrate all month long. 

I also know that by thie title of this post it seems I have many, many loves, and I confess it’s true. I’m so excited today to be partnering with three of my friends to bring you today’s giveaway.

    Favorite way to start the day is with a cafecito con leche, with a close running of cafecito con espumita.
    Love all your blogs and recipes! Keep em coming!!

  2. Rebekah Lopez says

    GM Marta,

    It depends 😁
    I start my morning with a cup of Americano. When it’s bad I make a shot of espresso! If the day is too much, dale café con leche with an extra shot! In the afternoon it’s a cortadito!

  3. Shannonlee says

    My thing about coffee is that’s a break or starter to my day. It’s a moment to connect and be Energized with my favorite cafe con leche with stevia bc ones needs to watch the sugars lol 💁🏽‍♀️.

  6. Jessica says

    My favorite way to start the day is with a Cafe con Leche. My late father used to make them for me every morning, and now my husband loves it as much as I do and we enjoy them together 💜

  8. Barbara Garcia Marti says

    Hi Marta! As a first generation Cuban American, I live in both worlds so during the week I tend to have my American coffee with either a muffin, a piece of coffee cake (guava & cheese mostly) or with another favorite a soft & yummy masareal but the weekends are more about a cafe con leche, cuban toast and/or a pastelito or two. 😉 Then of course the afternoons are all about a shot of cafesito Cubano!

  9. Elsa Villar says

    I love to make Cafe Con Leche in the morning for my family, when they visit and we will have some then.

  10. Rosie says

    First I do the coffee, Then I do the things! This is EVERY DAY! I have espresso con espumita con un Stevia packet.
    I have 5 sons, so I must enter the day fully leaded!

    Gracias
    Rosie (Atlanta)

  11. Beatriz Fernandez says

    I have been having cafe con leche since I was drinking it in el biberon! I’ll be 50 in January an cannot imagine a day without cafe! Love your blog <3

  12. Nancy Peppel says

    Cafecito con Espumita!
    Absolutely love your blog. I don’t live near my family and the Cuban population where I live I think is 4, so your blog keeps the memories and culture alive.

  16. Michelle says

    I love my Cafe con leche, especially when it’s cold out. Now that I don’t live in Florida anymore. Trying to find my Cuban coffee and supplies is hard but when I find them I buy them up.

  17. Carrie says

    Marta, thank you for continuing to provide many wonderful giveaway. Definitely would have to say café con leche if I had the chance, but I always have a regular cup of coffee, Caribou Coffee brand, dark roast one. Like strong coffee as we know Cuban coffee is strong and the best! The cafetera gift set would go to our son who loves café Cubano! 🇨🇺🇨🇺🇨🇺Thank you again for giving us the chance to win. ¡Bendiciones!

  20. Bohemian Babushka says

    Americano (flavored sin azucar) and then afternoon cortadito (this one but of course with sugar). Following all mentioned and entered on IG with Sr. Love of sazon. I LOVE THEM ALL!!

  26. Natalie Lorenzo says

    “I love them all!”

    I start my day with a cup of Cafe con Leche!! Since I could remember every morning my Abuela would prepare me a cup of Cafe con Leche! All i would here from many is how it would stunt my growth!! But hey, I can’t stop now…. i think that its a myth!

  27. Gladys Casper says

    I sleep late to the last minute every morning, so I have my Americano at work. I love the occasional Cortadito. My gringo husband makes it better than I do! Lol! He learned from my Abuelito.

  29. Jacqueline Montejano says

    I can’t decide on just one because I love them all!!! What a adorable coffee maker!! I must have it:) In love!!! Congratulations!!! I have been following you since the beginning….Feel like Familia

  32. Carie says

    My absolute favorite for breakfast is Cafe con Leche made with Cafe La Llave y pan tostado!!!!!!!
    Always all the best to you Marta, Felicidades!!!!!!!

  34. Lourdes S. says

    During the week, an Americano or a Cafe con Leche. On the weekends I definitely drink Cafe con Leche. I love them all!

  36. Faustino Rodriguez says

    My day starts with cafecito La Llave (decaffeinated) with espumita. Then I make a cafe con leche and take it to work .
    I cannot imagine starting my day any other way.

  38. Natalia Mojica says

    Love ❤ them All ,!!! La Mejor manera de comenzar el día es con un Cortadito con Pan Cubano ,Y muchas coladas con Espumita el resto del Día!

  41. Laura says

    My favorite way to start the day is con un cafecito cubano con Café La Llave. Seating with my cafecito and writing three things I am grateful for, while looking at the hummingbirds outside my window. The cafecito usually makes it to my gratitude list! 😍

  45. Wendy Ortiz says

    Cafe americano with creamer and a shot of cafecito. Then of course there is the afternoon pick me up of cafecito con espumita, it’s a must!
