'In stolen moments with my abuela, we bonded over our life circumstances and cafecito.'
I don’t know what my then-60-year-old Puerto Rican grandmother was thinking, raising me, her already rambunctious grandson, when she started regularly serving me café colao as a 4-year-old child. She'd then lace the café colao with whole milk and a hefty scoop of white granulated sugar. My abuela, whom I called Mami, my sole parent, my only caregiver and my sometimes barista, made the powerful concoction for me my entire childhood.
The stories of her struggles were hard to hear when she’d open up to me those mornings at the table. She’d speak of those times nonchalantly over the cubes of cheese she’d leave to melt and float aimlessly in her To make café colao, some pour water into the sock exactly like pour-over, but my grandmother would boil water in a metal pot shaped like a milk-frothing pitcher atop the stove, with the sock placed inside of it and the coffee grounds inside of that. When the coffee was brewed just right , she’d lift the sock by the handle, grab it barehanded and then tightly squeeze the pouch with her perfectly manicured arthritic fingers, unfazed by the scalding heat.
While sometimes we sat in silence , much of the time, we spoke in Spanish for hours. I’d give anything to remember every conversation verbatim now. It’s not a thing you understand in the moment will be important later on. Time makes fools of us all, it seems.
