  • Like your coffee strong? Then you're probably already familiar with Café Bustelo, a brand that has managed to pack the punch of espresso in a cup from a drip coffee maker. Of course, that's not the only way you can make it. It works just as well in pour-overs and French presses, and there's even a K-cup version.
    Even if you aren't a caffeine connoisseur, you've almost certainly caught a glimpse of those bright-yellow packages in the coffee aisle of your local supermarket. If you've ever wondered just what the brand that's "inspired by Latin Roots, born in East Harlem" is really all about, here's your chance to learn the untold truth of Café Bustelo.

      Starbucks has tons of blends. I’m not talking when you go in and get a pike place, dark or blonde.. we have shelves in store and reserve stores carry a few dozen blends of high quality coffee that you can get ground for your at home brewers. You don’t know coffee if you say they can’t compete with Starbucks. Starbucks dominates the coffee market.

    When I lived in Key West, (in the 90's) Cafe Bustelo was the primary coffee for the local Cuban shops. What was not sold as expresso shots (known by a different name) was reserved and used in the infinitely powerful "con leche" which was often served just like regular coffee in terms of sizes. Even though it is half of warmed milk I estimated that a "grande con leche" probably was at least a triple espresso and a ton of sugar.

    I always keep a vacuum brick of Cafe Bustelo. It's not my favorite coffee but it has a real kick. I usually drink Peet's, or dark roast Sumatran coffee. Adding a scoop of Cafe Bustelo to the drip gives a big caffeine boost. I tone down the bitterness with a few shakes of salt to the grounds before brewing. I find that Bustelo has a long shelf life. I also keep a small jar of Cafe Bustelo instant espresso for when I have to work late. It doesn't taste great but gets me past my inertia when I have To stay late at the office. For a cheap supermarket espresso, you won't find better. I didn't know it has NYC origins. That interesting. I just assumed it was from PR in origin.

    I've been drinking Cafe Bustelo for over 20 years now however my favorite is still Eight 'o'Clock coffee.

      I just found 8 :00 coffee it’s very good! Actually want some now ☕️

    Love my Cafe Bustelo! Works well in my Keurig with reusable K cups.
