When I was growing up, my mom only drank Maxwell House and Folgers. The smell of that percolated coffee wafting through air was nice to wake up to. But then the Cubans came to Miami and introduced me to café con leche. It was no turning back after that. Try to send me into outer space without a good cup of coffee or espresso?? Not happening!!
