Havana Cuban Coffee: by Kai Carpenter
Several countries claim to produce the best coffee, but when it comes to espresso, few can compare to the incredible and unique taste of “Café Cubano,” a style that’s earned committed fans the world over. Cuban espresso is a strong (and we mean strong) espresso shot traditionally sweetened with natural brown sugar that’s whipped with the first and strongest drops of espresso. A staple in the country for generations, the brewing and preparing of Café Cubano beverages remains a prominent social and cultural activity in Cuba and in Cuban-American communities. To celebrate this coffee style, Anderson Design Group teamed up with master oil painter Kai Carpenter to produce a vintage poster design that harkens back to the 20th-century travel art that promoted attractive cultural features of countries around the world. Available as a print, canvas, metal sign, mini canvas, or as a set of note cards or postcards, this artwork would look great on any wall.
