Though Cuban coffee is actually not originally from Cuba, for some reason when you think about Cuba, Cuban rum, Cuban cigars and Cuban coffee is the first that comes to your mind. A cup of strong Cuban Coffee early in the morning, after the main meals or late in the afternoon is a deep-rooted tradition in Cuba and it is the first thing Cubans will offer you when you come to visit. Even tourist take back home a pack of Cuban coffee as a souvenir when they travel to Cuba on vacations.
