Oh…and the cone is well approximated by a Melitta conical filter.

That poufy, snail-shaped large roll you had with your breakfast is called a Mallorca (Mah-YOR-kah) and it is really good. If you ask for it by name, you can find it in east-coast cities. Out here on the west coast where I live, it’s all Mexican pan dulce…tasty, but not the same thing.

My grandfather used to make coffee with “la media” or sock. It is great! Sometimes he added a very small amount of nuez moscada (nutmeg).

Hi, there used to be a Puerto Rican coffee place I would go to in Spanish Harlem that had the most delicious coffee, but it seemed to be enhanced with spices, ginger, or something. I’d love to find a recipe for that! Do you know what that is? Thanks!

Thanks! I just returned from Puerto Rico with two types of coffee. I want to make it just right to fully enjoy the flavors.

Rebecca… was the bread a bright yellow or orange colored roll? Miyoka (sp?) Amazing!! My Boyfriend’s father owns Moncho’s Deli in the same building this bread is baked and it is amazing! I found this site because I am looking for the name of the coffee cone with the metal cup under it that PR coffee is strained in. Can anyone help? BTW… I am sipping on a cup right now!

I spent the summer in Puerto Rico with my best friend in high school, and I loved this coffee. This with the bread fresh from the bakery was my favorite thing. I just need to get find that bread and I’ll be set…

This is the way that my abuelita (grandmother) used to make coffee. When you need food for the soul, it pays to take the extra time and effort to prepare coffee this way.

While I was in Puerto Rico I brought different coffees (such as El Coqui, and El Rico), and a coffee sock (97 cents). When I arrived home, I had no idea how to make it. I hadn’t seen Puerto Rican coffee made since I was a child. I found your site on the internet, made the coffee, and it turned out terrific. Muchas Gracias por todo.
