Utensils for making Cafezinho

You can use paper filters and filter cones to make cafezinho. You can even serve cafezinho in regular coffee cups-but in both cases, you will miss out on part of the true charm of making and drinking coffee. Many major cities now have Brazilian communities where you can find cafezinho cups and cloth flannel filters for making cafezinho. You can use coffee cups instead of espresso cups, but cloth filters are necessary. If you don't have a Brazilian market nearby, you can usually find them at any Hispanic grocery store. They consist of a wooden handle with a metal ring sewn with an undyed long flannel "sock". It can cost up to two to three dollars. The last piece of equipment is a small pot, preferably not aluminum.

How to make Cafezinho

Put 3/4 of the cold water in each cafezinho into the pan. Add sugar-usually about one teaspoon per cafe. Heat the water below the boiling point and stir to dissolve the sugar. This is very important-boiling water will overcook the coffee and make it bitter. Add 1 tablespoon of finely ground coffee (coffee powder coffee will work perfectly) coffee is added to the water and removed from the calories. Stir well, stir the coffee grounds and sugar water.

Here comes the fun. Place the coffee flannel on the cafezinho and slowly pour in the coffee mixture. It's a slow process, but don't succumb to the temptation to squeeze coffee through a filter. Not only do you run the risk of burning your hands, but you also force the water across the ground too quickly and make the coffee bitter.

In Brazil, cafezinho is usually black, but many people like to use a little milk or cream. Remember to rinse the coffee filter thoroughly under cold water, then hang it dry so that it doesn't get moldy. Do not clean with soap and replace it every few months.

For each cup of water, use a stacked coffee powder spoon of espresso. Recipes also require the taste of sugar. You need a pan and you promise it can only be used to make coffee. ) this is how it is done:

Add water to the pan, add sugar and dissolve.

Bring to a boil over medium heat.

When the water and sugar mixture boils, add the coffee powder, stir well, and pour into the traditional cloth coffee filter (or paper filter).

Pour it into a small cup immediately. In the United States, espresso cups can now be easily found. Coffee filters can be found in Brazilian markets and supermarkets as well as in Hispanic stores in the United States.
