    We love Cafe la Llave, that’s the only cafe we drink at least 3 times a day.. The morning cafe con leche, the cafecito after la merienda o almuerzo and lastly el cafecito de por la noche after dinner. 😉 – We make it the old school way, en la cafetera on the stove con espumita. This would make an amazing gift for our parents though. After all, our traditions began with them. <3
