Mexican Coffee

Bringing Café de Olla Into Your Kitchen

Café de Olla is one of Mexico's most traditional coffee drinks and is typically served with breakfast or after dinner. It is not as difficult as you might think — simmer water with a cinnamon stick and piloncillo until it is totally dissolved, then add your ground coffee or instant coffee and allow it to steep for a couple of minutes, then strain. It's a small ritual, but one that makes your morning cup a part of the generations of Mexican coffee tradition. No need for a clay pot for this, although we have those available if you prefer to have the whole experience.
