It’s obviously no secret that Cuban coffee runs through my veins. My favorite, if you haven’t figured it out yet, is Café La Llave. The truth is that it gives me all lots of happy Cuban energy. And I absolutely couldn’t live without it.
And while I love my sweet buchito of espresso every morning, I have to confess that I’m also in love with the Café La Llave Espresso in the larger K-pods.
I’m so happy they have given me that option for my 3pm slump. You KNOW what I’m talking about.
Also, it makes an amazing café con leche, but that’s not important right now.
We’re coming up on Easter and my friends at Café La Llave have graciously offered to host a giveaway with a beautiful basket of Café La Llave Espresso Style Coffee for the K-cups. (Thank you, my friends!)
The Basket I’m giving away has 4 boxes of Café La Llave with 12 K-Cup pods each. Plus two Café La Llave white mugs with green lettering. You know you want it.
So, let’s do this!

I’ll be choosing a winner on Tuesday, April 19th, 2022 at 11:00 am. I’ll post the winner right here on this blog post. Good luck!
La Llave is my favorite espresso coffee! My parents allowed me a buchito de cafe now and then at around 5 years old. Now I drink it twice a day, and my son and gringo husband are espresso drinkers too. With us, only the real stuff will do; no decaf. I followed and liked Cafe La Llave’s Chirino post.
Thank you!
I am going to be 70 in May. I started drinking coffee in my twenty’s. My granddaughter who is now 17, started going after her Mom’s coffee cup as soon as she could toddle around!
I hope this is where I’m to respond to the Cafe La Llave questions.
1. I’ve been drinking coffee for 40 years. I started when I was 29 years old. I discovered cafe con leche after going to a Cuban diner in Miami with my Cuban friend. Almost everyday after work we would treat ourselves to cafe con leche & pan. And of course — — croquettes hamon. Then years later I married a Cuban &now I make cafe daily. Plus I found you trying to find true, authentic Cuban recipes.
2. Now in my retirement I drink 1-2 American coffee a day plus a cafecito. In my younger years I had 2-5 cups of coffee.
3, Definitely REAL COFFEE.
prior to coming here I added Cafe La Llave to instagram and Facebook.
Thank you for keeping the Cuban traditions alive. It helps me learn about the culture.
I started drinking Cafe (con Leche) when I was about 7 or 8!! Really, it was so much leche that it doesn’t count as child abuse—(In a Cuban family it may be considered abuse if you DON’T have cafe!)
Nowadays, I only have one cup, and sadly, it’s decaf because of my blood pressure issues. Sigh.
(I did follow Cafe la Llave on Instagram–you can check, Martha!)
Gracias!
Since I was 3 probably I was drinking cafecito. I drink at least 2 times a day of the real stuff! So excited to try there k cups!
Have been drinking coffee since about 18. Start every morning with a cup. Sometimes have a second cup in the afternoon. Regular coffee only.
I’ve been drinking coffee since I was about five. I drink about two cups a day. Real all the way.

I’ve been drinking coffee since I was about 6. I’m now 32 going on 33. On a normal day, I re-fuel about 2 times, but if I’m in desperate need, about 3 or 4. As to regular or decaf, I’m more regular but don’t mind decaf here and there. #Cafe #CafeConLeche
If café con leche counts then I started around age 2 but straight since I was a teenager which was many moons ago. I love mi cafecito right after lunch it sets me up for the rest of the day. What is decaf?? Hahaha, just kidding. For me is the real thing or nothing.
PS: my son has become excellent at making cafecito con espumita. I guess it’s true what they say…the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
I drink drink drink !!!!
It every day I have 5 year old 23 month old and 4 month old so I need all pick me up I drink regular and I have been drinking it since I was 6 years old my grandma would put it in my cafe con leche yummy
I started drinking coffee as long as I can remember in Cuba when I was little,now I only drink coffee La Llave at home,since we get up every hour or so a coffee pot is made and of course real coffee.
Cuban Heritage

I’ve been drinking cafecito since before I was younger than 5. And I don’t even know what decaf expresso is.
I ve been drinking coffee as cafe con leche since I was an infant. And to this day I do not like the taste?of plain milk. Then I graduated to coffee on cuban bread with sugar on top. This was all in my younger years in Cuba. And I drink coffee now once or twice a day. If at home decaf but at family the real thing with real sugar no Splenda🙂

Caffeine only.

I’m currently 41 and probably have been drinking Cafe for 41 years. No joke! My Tia used to dip my pacifier in cafe and wet my lips with it when she would make it. Growing up it would be the Cafe con leche that my Abuela used to make. So I still drink it like crazy! The sound and smell of cafe being made is my life story, and also a wonderful memory of my loved ones that I’ve lost.

Café con leche first (who remembers when that started) then cortaditos oscuros and straight café. A life well lived. 😋☕😍
No times refuel, constant flow.
98% Real 2% decaf
Gracias to you and La Llave.

I have been drinking coffee since I was in my teens. I usually re-fuel twice during the day and drink both regular and decaf. Of course, anytime there’s dessert involved there will be more coffee for drinking and dunking. ❤️

1. I mean…… before I could crawl? No haha! Definitely under 5! I’ve loved it forever!! 2. I’m a 1-2 times a dayer… if I need a nap I’ll have a late night cortadito (yes often it puts me to sleep) 3. What’s decaf? 🤣 I didn’t even have decaf while pregnant!!!

1. I’ve been drinking cafe cubano since 1990, the day I met my future wife.
2. Once a day.
3. Real, decaf is not coffee.
Hi and good morning!! Coffee is a staple at my Cuban household. Cafecito all day.
1. I’ve been drunk for almost 20 years
2. I refuel 3 times a day
3. Real coffee
With a Cuban Momma and a Mexican Dad, we had coffee in our Teteras (no just kidding) actually sips from probably 5 years and up. I know this because they did the same to my kids.
I fuel at least 3 times a day. Has to be fully leaded for me or it doesn’t count!
Oh and I liked Cafe La Llave on Instagram.
-Tell me how long you’ve been drinking coffee. – probably younger than 5 yrs old, abuelo would give me buchitos, and then I upgraded to cafe con leche.
-How many times a day do you typically re-fuel? depending on the day 1-3, fun relaxing day 1, work day 2-3
-Real or Decaf? REAL!!

My mother used to give me a sip of coffee since I was a year old.
I drink coffee twice a day.
Of course the real stuff. What’s the point. Jajaja.
I have been drinking Cuban coffee as long as I can remember once or twice a day as needed. Morning coffee is a must to start my engine. Decaf is not an option.
Hi, I have been drinking cafe since baby. Now I drink American coffee at least twice a day and expresso a lot of times, lost count

Ive been ‘drinking’ coffee since about 6 months old (sucking on fingers etc).
Typically I have coffee 2-3 times a day.

Im 45 …..My mom would give me some when I was still in diapers.
I typically refuse 3 to 4 time a day. Doesn’t matter how late either.
Real or Decaf?
Ques decaf?Lol
1. Not until college! 19?
2. 3 times
3. Regular!

My abuelo would make us cafe con leche for breakfast as early as I can remember but I didn’t really start drinking coffee till about 7th grade. I usually have 1 or 2 cups a day and always regular coffee ☕️ 😁
Mi mama made cafe con Leche since we were 2. Daily morning ritual that has lasted to this day. Regular .. cortadito is my fave but my go to will always be black with that Cuban foam.
