Let me tell you that Cuban coffee is like heroin. You can actually get cafe Bustelo and Pillon online at several places.
Here's one:
http://www.cubancoffee.com/Amazon.com is another. But there are many to shop around for prices.
I don't know the answer. I thought the reason is both the roast and the way it's prepared with demerara sugar.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuban_espressoI just use regular expresso these days and prepare it with the sugar to get as close as possible. I'm surprisingly ignorant about this other than having grown up drinking cuban coffee all my life.
Well, you know, until the Mormon missionaries came and told me cuabn coffee was a sin.
