I cannot wait to share today’s giveaway. It’s sponsored by my favorite coffee, Café La Llave. 

I have a few reasons why they’re worthy of my love:

  1. They’re the best and favorite sponsor of My Big Fat Cuban Family Blog.
  2. They really do have the best coffee you’ve ever tasted.
  3. Their company is one of the best examples of what The American Dream truly means.
  4. Over the years that I’ve been blogging, which is 14, they’ve become personal friends. (That makes me the happiest.)
  5. The Gaviña family are renowned for their integrity and business ingenuity.
  6. They now offer espresso in pods! 
  7. It’s the only coffee my household drinks daily. 
  8. Besides making the best espresso, the Café con Leche this espresso makes is to die for. 
  9. They provide a way to recycle the used pods through Terracycle.com. 
  10. Because my life runs on Cuban coffee, there is no better brand for me to celebrate my Cubanity than Café La Llave. 

There are probably a thousand more reasons I could give, but I want to get right to the point of today’s giveaway. 

The 5th MBFCF Fourteen Years in the Blogosphere Giveaway of 2020 is…

    The only café I drink! When the pandemic shut down started in March the first thing I did was order my pods enough for six months. I would put this maker in my office so I could enjoy La Llave any time. Best café, cortadito and café con leche is made with La Llave! I have my boss hooked on it too.

  5. Elaine says

    Between me and my husband we both would be getting plenty of use out of it!

      My grandfather left Cuba in 61′ and moved to Miami. Because of the language barrier he moved to Puerto Rico. Over the years, he would travel to Miami and fill his suitcase with bricks upon bricks of Cafe La Llave to take back to Puerto Rico. Growing up, it was a staple in my home.

  7. Carie says

    I would put the Breville Mini Espresso Machine front & center on my counter. And the person at my home that drinks the most coffee is yours truly, me! 💚🇨🇺☕️😍

  9. Miriam Labella says

    I would put the cafecito-maker in my kitchen…in a pride of place spot, of course! I would be the person using it the most! It would also be an aromatic welcome mat for my friends and family, and pridefully display my Cubanity…especially in these cool fall days up here in Connecticut! 🇨🇺🇺🇸

  12. Adriana Ruiz says

    I’d put it in my kitchen! We only use cafe la llave in my house! My husband and I would probably go through that supply real quick.

    My husband would love this! He drinks Cuban coffee everyday as is, so I can only imagine how much more coffee he would drink with this on our kitchen counter! We drink cafe la llave at our house all the time and follow them on Instagram already!

  17. Sandra Cordovi says

    I would actually bring it to work. Every day we need a pick me up mid afternoon and what better than with un cafecito.

  19. Julie McMullin says

    I liked Cafe La Llave! Or rather that should be I love Cafe La Llave!!! The mini machine would be perfect for my home office, we’re not expected to go back until some time in 2021 so it would definitely go to good use l!

    Prime spot in the kitchen in Dallas, Texas for this beauty! I think my husband and I would be fighting on who gets to use if first in the mornings!
