Cafe La Llave

[BigFoot]

If anyone here is into Cuban coffee I suggest to give this brand a try. I think its better than Bustelo. La Llave was brought into the USA via bean and palanted here, it was originally from Trinidad, Cuba.

Is it ony available online? I didn't care for the Bustelo at all!

I bought mine at Extra supermarket in West New York, NJ. If your near any cuban-american sections I'm sure they'll have it.

Believe it or not, it's available through some WalMarts and Super Walmarts!

In addition, some places you can even find the Decaffeinated version.

Cubita is good, havent tried serrano. When I was in Atlantis, Bahamas earlier this year, they had ( I think) a Cohiba coffee that they just made and was suppose to be awesome. I didnt buy it, way too expensive but I wonder what it is like.

there is also a Montecristo coffe as well. And one more I don't remember the name I think it is turqueno or some thing. I sent the cohiba to a brother on here and the Monte to another.

You mean this one....

 

[gibbleguts]

Yeah that's it but for some reason not my favorite

They have bustelo and pilon at my local supermarket. Its cheap at least...

I love the cuban coffee I've had, Cohiba & Serrano were my my favorite so far.

Picked up 1000gs of Cubito in Nassua, I'm down to one espresso 'load' left & I'm out. :crying:

BTW - thank you Artiesdead - I'll have to check out that coffee!

We use pilon all the time to make espresso but would love to try some Cohiba or Montecristo coffee! Anyone know where to find it?

 

[Trumpetchris]

Pilon and Llave are the two I buy.

Unfortunately I have only seen it in Havana. Reasonably easy to find there though.

I'm friends with the distributor family down here in South Florida, I like La Llave - Pernounced La Yavay and it's good, but mostly sold as a cheaper alternative to Pilion or Bustelo.

I'd like to try that Cohiba myself!
