Start by measuring out your coffee. For a traditional Cafezinho, use roughly one tablespoon of coffee for each demitasse cup of water.

Add your desired amount of sugar directly to the coffee grounds.

Heat the water until it’s just about to boil and add it to the coffee and sugar mixture.

Stir to ensure even brewing, allowing it to steep for a few minutes.

Pour the brew through a fine strainer into a cup, ensuring no grounds make their way into your drink
