Mexican mom, Colombian dad, Cuban stepdad, born in Miami - everything from telling apart the way you speak Spanish to the accent to cafecitos WAS SPOT ON AND HILARIOUS 🤣
I've been to Mexico and Colombia. Some of my own ancestry is Spanish and Mexican, so I've got distant relatives in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Puerto Rico. Three different ways to pronounce 'sencillo' in Spanish, depending on where someone is from. I thought -ico , 'un poquitico', was just Colombian until I heard Cubans use it too. If someone says 'guaguá', they're Caribbean. 'Buseta', they're Colombian, and you might want to warn them about using this word in Brazil. 😁 Some Mexican friends have asked me if I was Cuban. No, just Spanish and Mexican. Still, when I was in Colombia some people asked me if I had relative there. Yes, but distant relatives through my great-great-great-grandfather from Spain. He came to Texas, and his wife came from Mexico. I'm sure some of his relatives who moved to Latin America did so because Spanish is spoken in the countries they moved to. I have a few distant relatives who live in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, near Monterrey.
@@sithninjacowboyranger9803 really strong but he’s really referring to what us Miamians call “colada”. 2 shots is more than enough. More than that it’ll have your heart racing.
". . . a full sized cup of cafecito" is a contradiction in terms because "cito" means small (or little) so a "cafecito" is a small coffee. What Fluffy actually says is "Bring me a full sized cup of coffee."
I am that person who does ask for a regular size cup of it at Cafe Havana and then insists after the manager strongly advises against it. And I don't regret it one bit. But they give me what should probably cost at least $30.00 so I feel a little guilty. But dayam it's good.
Idk if you speak Spanish but if you don’t, you should say mamaguevo to the first old Hispanic lady you find, it’s an informal way of saying hi that was popular in their time :)
The black cab driver speaking Spanish remind me the time I worked as a waiter in NYC and I had German guests trying to understand the menu in English. I am a Latino from Peru who lived and worked in Europe long enough to speak German quite well. One of them asked a question very carefully crafted as he were taking an English test. I smiled and I replied in German. Suddenly, everyone freezes with their mouth open as they were watching something out of this world. The expression in their faces were hilarious I wish someone could take a picture or videorecord.
I’m wondering about tequila being the most popular with Mexicanos. In my town the ordinary people drink cerveza and mezcal in that order. Occasionally you might come across pulque. I think tequila might be a Mexican-American thing.
To all the people saying us Puerto Ricans speak too fast; you haven't met our Dominican neighbors. Those people really apply the meaning of speed to their speech!
As a Dominican this is so true but we dont have the barrio accent we speak “normal” Spanish, i thought we spoke pretty decent and slow until my white british boyfriend heard my mom and grandma talk he was astounded at how fast they spoke lmao
Both sides are speeding the limit, I'm Peruvian and I have a hard time keeping up with a three way conversation without needing to focus on the words and not fall off the trail.
@@familyandfriends3519 1) Hispanic = relating to Spain or to Spanish-speaking countries, especially those of Latin America. 2) *you're Do a bit of research before you speak about something you don't know shit about
When I was very young I lived in Orlando and there was this awesome Cuban restaurant that my father used to take me to for "boy's night" once a month, which was just my dad and me since I was an only child. It was meant to be a bonding experience, and the people at the restaurant came to know us. I don't remember the name, and I'd be surprised if it was still there (the last time we went was when I was 10, 35 years ago). My father would always get a cup of cafecito at the end of the meal, and because the restaurant owner knew I wanted to be a "big man", even though I was really young, he would bring me my own "cafecito", which was just a small cup of warm milk with maybe -- MAYBE -- a teaspoon of coffee in it. The people who owned that restaurant were just the best damn people in the world. The place was small and it was clear that they were far from rich, but they always brought me extra plantains and always sat and talked with us for a while when we were there.
so like why share this and let us know it was awesome? To let us know it's sad we can't go visit it or that you can't remember any of the people in it? What the duck is up you ducker? >_>
Informant ~ whistleblower ~ media: Most people would like the Americans incharge of our country to feel a little Tranquility, one of the first things our government's constitution states as a goal. The real fight is in the media, about 20 million subscribe to this form of internet "news" which is; opinion driven, politically motivated, well funded, ad appreciated and stupid to foolish. I know that it's an opinion which is really my political satire for today, however 150 plus million voted in the last presidential election, the other 200 million didn't, why? Because, the media didn't do a very good job of telling the truth. We all understand when you throw suffer on a fire, you get nice looking flames, well the chemist do. My point being, we are paying more to live today. Whose responsibility is that, Americans. If you want more we fight for it with money, the more you have the harder you fight, and the more you win, except the less money we all have. Mar-a-Lago is a home and a club, it's not the Alamo, Santa Anna did not kill everyone that was fight there, but the people that did do whatever they did do on "Monday morning" could have taken Santa Anna, so yes we are a much stronger country, but to call someone and informant ~ whistleblower ~ on a former president, who by some account was talking to the folks incharge may have not crossed the Bill Travis' Line. The more the media plays fast and loose with their air time, the higher the risk to Americans will pay more for freedom, and words have consequences, those that lie are always judged by history. Some of the media like the DNC some like the RNC a few hate Americans, that's the America we fight for, we never want people getting hurt, but China killed 6 million people so far with whatever you call 19, and this is piece time, China has 10 Trillion dollars worth of our US Bonds, that's a high price to pay if they want to attack one of their own, Russia is waring with a former state, that's a personal thing for Putin, the "bad middle east" is trying to take over the world, as a god thing. Meanwhile the media is fighting over who can have 10 million subscribers, and the American people are torn apart because both sides pay billions to get people on their shows, if some of us find that silly, think about this, 200 million didn't vote, silly would not be their word, our history mostly tells the tail, we are 5 minutes away from speaking Japanese, MIDWAY, we are 5 minutes away from speaking German, D-Day and the tanks were held back, we are 5 minutes away from speaking French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, or a dozen others. We talk our own language ~ farcical. History will let us now who won, who lost and why, but until that time has come ~ the leaders of our country need to understand, words have consequences, the media needs to understand words have consequences, but the people need to understand the votes have consequences, as the saying goes......HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW ....... If you don't want to be compared to "bad people" don't do foolish things, if you don't want to be compared to "fools" don't do or say stupid things, and if you want to be compared with "good people" be good and say truth and act like an American, and if don't want to be compared, you're in the wrong country, we are all measured by our time, our times, and our actions, words and stuff. You can be a Washington, a Lincoln, a Patton or a Booth. All are dead, all have history, 7 million babies have been aborted RVW they have no history. We are in the most important time in our history, until the next time. That's the way it works in our America, we had a few good years, they seem to have failed to be appreciated by us, we don't get them back, but they are now part of our history, in 18 months you can see the difference words make, or feel the history around us. I have no knowledge of "WHAT'S NEXT" as Jeb would say, but I do know that history will say, it will tell the story of America, and those that see, read or study, those Americans will judge the people of today ~ and they will do it as a study of our stupidness, greatness or foolishness, and the people, a Lincoln or a Booth those are the only two standards most in politics are based your are either right or wrong.
I’m Puerto Rican and grew up in a Cuban neighborhood. Since childhood I been drinking those shots of coffee. When he said he drank the whole bowl I gasped out loud! The most I’ve ever had is 3 shots and that gave me heart palpitations and an upset stomach. A whole bowl is a real emergency!
I did a thing like that when I was a teenager back in the 80s. I wanted to make myself some coffee before I went to my Subway gig, and my mom had this dutch chocolate coffee in the freezer. It smelled great, so I set about making a pot of it. "Let's see...bag says one scoop per cup - it's a 10-cup pot, so that's 10 scoops!" By the time I got to work everything was very weird and everything sounded like I was in the bottom of a huge bucket. I didn't do that again.
@lmaoashley - What's with all the Puerto Ricans with the flags on the rear view mirrors? Why don't Puerto Ricans ever don any American flags? It's almost like they hate the U.S. yet still want to be here for the benefits?
As a Dominican 🇩🇴, my mom remarried a Cuban. And the coffee thing is so true. My step dad would have a little cup of coffee every morning. He couldn't live without it 😂. It was two things we never ran out of in my house. Rice and coffee 😂
As a dominocan that's accurate, we sometimes we pour our rice into the coffee and eat it like rice. And it has to be biryani otherwise it's not authentic, and ypu can add black beans it makes it rich in flavour.
As a black American from Georgia, I can tell you that what he says about the variety of races in the Cuban and PR population is true. I went was visiting Miami's Little Havana section and saw a dark skinned black man with long dreadlocks. I thought he was Jamaican. I tried to ask him directions on how to get to certain spot I was looking for and neither one of us understood the other. Much love and respect to Latin culture though. I need to learn Spanish.
There is nothing new about this. I am African American and I can't understand how it isn't more common knowledge that more African slaves were sent to South America and Cariibean islands than what it is now USA. Cuba always had a large black presence. The culture of Afro-Cubans is very influential.
@@Hibbs4Prez Even in the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Venezuela (and other Caribbean countries) white people are a minority. And miscegenation is almost 100%.
The joke is funny, but the grammar has been anglicized for the benefit of a larger audience that might be more familiar with the suffix "-ande". The correct ending for something large is "-ote" and "-ota", not "-ande". For example, a dog, "perro", is "perrito" (if small) and perrote (if large and male) and "perrota" (if large and female). "Very grande", like Gabriel is, would be "grandote". :-) :-) :-)
@@Enigmatism415 Yes, /--on/ works for some words, but to inflect "cafe" and "grande", we would say cafecito, cafesote, not cafeson, and grande, grandote, grandecito (colloquial for "sorta big") grandisimo...or modify the word to say "grandullon". That one is very infrequently used. For a large "carreta", for example, you do say "carreton", so, good question.
I’m thankful for the time I lived in south Florida. Before that I thought Spanish was Spanish but I learned how to tell where someone was from by the way they spoke Spanish. I went to radiology technology school in Hialeah and made some awesome friends there. Latinos are a beautiful and diverse group of people.
So I’m a Black guy (USA not Latino or Caribbean) but I have a cousin that’s half Puertorican and he’s married to a full Cuban woman. I’m the proud “Padrino” to two of their lovely daughters. I studied Spanish in school but PR Spanish is soooo fast!! You nailed it! And, yes, Cubans scare me lol. “Why is she yelling at me??” 😂 You’re funny dude!!!
@boebender I’m a African American woman but I don’t like basketball , I like hockey , nascar , bull riding and formula 1 ( the international version of nascar imagine driving a car about 110 miles a hour ) , I will destroy a bowl of gumbo in less than 5 seconds yes it’s spicier then a mug but I don’t care THE SPICE IS WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION
My father flew to Rio way back in the 90s before flying became a chore, He and my mother got bumped to First Class. They brought out the coffee service with normal enough looking tea cups, and poured in about a shot. My dad looked at it and was like, "What's this?" "Cafe." "Why didn't you fill it?" "Would you like me to, sir?" "Please." So she did, with this sort of 'I want to laugh but I don't dare' expression on her face. Just like Fluffy said - it was Super Juiced coffee. It wasn't a beverage, it was a street drug! He managed to get through the cup and was wired to his eyeballs the rest of the flight. He brought back an entire suitcase of that coffee.
First time I went to Starbucks it was in Florida and I was 15. Ask for a coffee, the smallest size, get a 300ml cup. Hmmm, ok, that’s too much coffee I am going to die for suRE. First sip and I turned to my brother and asked “why do they serve watered down coffee? Is it because I am a minor? This tastes really bad I can’t drink 300ml of it.” he tells me “idk, ask for an espresso”. Ok, fine, order the espresso. IT’S WEAK ESPRESSO. I later asked the barista if they serve watered coffee to teenagers or something like that and the barista goes like “are you Brazilian?“ “yeah, why?” “That’s how coffee is here, get used to it 😂”. I was gutted.
@@RenanRF The name actually came from WWII. American troops stationed in Europe didn't like the flavor is the espresso so they would take a shot and put water in it to make it more like what they were familiar with.
As a Puerto Rican, we absolutely talk like there's a time limit 🤣 Oh my God, man, I almost spit out my food when he said that 🤣 The first time I have my husband some Spanish Espresso coffee, I asked how much cream and sugar he wants. He goes, "Pfft, babe, I'm a man. I only drink black coffee." I said, "if you drink this black, your tongue will sprout hair and you will be wired until next Tuesday." 🤣
As a 60 yr old Puerto Rican woman I’ve been drinking Bustello as far back as I can remember. I’m pretty sure it probably put in my bottle. One day I had about 3 cups forgetting that it was Bustello …. I had my place spotless in about an hour and was considering knocking on the neighbors doors and asking if I could clean their houses.
The three accents that Gabriel left out in this video were Argentinian 🇦🇷(which sounds Italian 🇮🇹), Colombian 🇨🇴, and Venezuelan 🇻🇪. But the Mexican 🇲🇽, Cuban 🇨🇺, and Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 that he did use were definitely spot on.
@@Bella_LibelleYes, 100%! He surprised me by mentioning Dominicans then totally leaving out how to tell them apart from the others. I don't know if it's b/c the Dominican accent is difficult to mimick or what...though even the comedian on SNL who is Cuban-Dominican did not seem to be able to mimick it during a skit where he briefly protrayed each of his parents (he kept doing the Cuban accent for both). Heck, I've tried mimicking my dad's accent but I cannot, though I prob naturally had it until I went through speech therapy as a little for it: it was deemed an 'impediment', but my 'impediment' was me literally pronouncing English words the Spanish way...which led to some unintended cursing in both languages 😬
He's one of the best... His originality & storytelling is on point!!! His voices he makes, he's what you pay good money to go see... You know you're getting your money worth
Ralphie May did a very similar cuban coffee bit-- don't know who came first but I think I heard Ralphie's version about ten years ago, may he rest in peace.
As a Cuban who spent some of their childhood in a Dominican/Puerto Rican neighborhood of Jersey City...this is straight up accurate! But a simple way for me to tell another Cuban is to ask the very simple question, "¿Qué bola, asere?" Every other Latino would have no idea what I'm talking about, but every Cuban would know this as our way of saying "What's up, bro?" Thanks to colonization of the Caribbean, we all come in different colors. Wait until Gabriel finds out about Chinese-Cubans! In Manhattan's Upper West Side, there's a Chinese-Cuban fusion originally called La Caridad 78 founded in 1968 by Raphael Lee, and his son took over the business. The original closed in July 2020, but moved and reopened as La Caridad 72 in 2023. While the chefs overtime were replaced with ones from Mainland China, ONE Chinese-Cuban chef remained, and he had a Cuban accent SO thick, that you just wouldn't expect it to come out of his mouth (there's a Great Big Story vid with the restaurant featured). But seriously, Chinese-Cuban cuisine IS a thing. Baby back ribs with guava barbecue sauce is an example of this!
Bro I went to a cuban chinese restaurant in NYC once and that was probably it. Best Lemon chicken I've ever had. Being cuban myself it made sense why the flavors were so much more familiar to me than traditional Chinese food. Suck that it closed down.
As a brazilian I'm like "yeah, I'm definitely latino", then you would differentiate latinos by the way they speak spanish, in this case I guess iit would be just "If don't speak spanish at all, thats a brazilian".
@@bioemiliano the sounds are completely different Portuguese from Portugal looks more like Russian while in Brazil there are so many different accents.
"That is the only way Cubans can make that swim." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG, if my neighbors weren't awake before, they are now from hearing me laugh so hard! Fluffy is so freaking hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣
I went to Miami once and had a cuban sandwich with their coffee shot. I was confused why I couldnt fall asleep until after 2am and I realized it was the coffee lol
As an Anglo who lived in Puerto Rico for years and now speaks with primarily Mexicanos, I had to laugh. My daughter is a physician who volunteers work in South America every year and we both get a chuckle on how we can tell the difference in the cultures Gabriel jokes about. Great performer and ambassador for Latinos everywhere.
I am a medical interpreter and I hate it when I have to speak with Cubans, Dominicans and Ricans. They do not pronounce the "R", they put an "L" instead. Also the "S" they put an "J." Example: Dotol (Doctor) me llego una calta (carta) vo a comel (voy a comer) do (dos 2) tre (tres 3) I get offended when they say they speak Spanish. Pueltolico????
I'm Cuban and even I was praying to all of the Santos when he ordered a larger size Cuban coffee... that stuff don't play. In Haiti they use puffer fish to make zombies... In Cuba we use coffee. I had a Colombian bf who was a gamer... I introduced Cuban coffee. He basically looked at me, "F^
@@inconnu4961 Café Bustelo is from New York and inspired by Cuban coffee so it's not really Puerto Rican. Pilón and La Llave are much more authentic to the Cuban coffee taste and, in my opinion, stronger. Edit: If you want to try real coffee from Puerto Rico, try Alto Grande (high end, internationally available local brand), Café Rico (good local brand), or Yaucono (not as good as the other two, but more widely available outside of Puerto Rico).
The coffee story reminds me of the time when a Canadian reporter was here in Brazil covering the Olympics and was complaining about the size of the coffee cups they were being served in the press center (they are like 50ml, more or less 1.7oz - almost like the size of a single espresso cup)... Oh boy! A war started! Those coffees are really strong and you don't want to drink a lot of it straight away, you drink little by little. If you are used or are drinking at home you'll drink in a bigger cup.
I remember but people overreacted because he explained why the size is so small. I remember he replied something like "It seems like coffee is a sensitive subject here". 😂
Tell you. I'm from Norway and I would have downed that bowl and been a ok. Norway is one of top consumers of coffee. We can take it, have a good long shit and move on with our lives.
As someone who learned Spanish in high school, perfected it in college and speaks it fluently and regularly among Puerto Rican friends and coworkers I've been told by native speakers in places like Spain that I speak Spanish with an American accent but my dialect sounds like a blend of Puerto Rican and Mexican inflections on the language. So I can relate to this.
But even Mexicans have the weirdest accents. Put a norteño, a yucateco, and a poblano in the same room and then wait for the Monty Python sketch to unfold.
@@nellpaz7853My parents are from Puebla, and we speak rather normally. Paced out and the words are easy to understand, but when I went to Puebla 2 years ago, my family who is from there speak normally as well but they do drag out some words making it sound like how Fluffy interpreted it. But overall, there is really no stereotypical “accent” from Puebla unless there are other influences of the people there from other parts of Mexico.
I drank eight tiny cups of espresso at a party for a Brazilian exchange student going back home. Two hours later, I thought I was dying, and my heart rate was one continuous banging inside my chest. 😳
I've never had Cuban coffee before, but I have fallen into the trap of Turkish coffee before. My first trip to Turkey I had several tiny cups with breakfast, drinking like a typical North American. I'm pretty sure my heart turned into a hummingbird for a few hours. That stuff is no joke. Now when I travel, when I order something and it comes in a configuration I'm not accustomed to, I think really hard about the consequences before I ask anyone to adjust the size.
Man, I still remember in college, talking to some of the Puerto Ricans... One of them asked me "Cong quien taqui?!" And I was like ... Taqui? Wtf is a taqui? Taqui.... And finally they slowed themselves down "con quien esta aqui" and I was like ooooolhhhhhhh
@bernadettea0946 We don’t speak like that!!! That sounds like a Dominican, not Puerto Rican, we would sound more like: Mera, con quien ejtaj (substituting the s for j) aquí??? Meaning: who you with??? That sounds more like Puerto Ricans from the island. Now Puerto Ricans born in the states talk more like Dominicans, but we talk with a different accent.
Honestly, probably proud considering your English is also amazing. Don't know why that would be shameful to understand what he said... I'm still working on my Spanish after 5 years of classes and such.
@@MechanisCaduceus I don't know if you know this, but PR has been an American territory for like 120 years. They teach English in school, but whether or not people learn it is another thing. The overwhelming majority of PRs speak English as naturally as any other Anglo. I'm not trying to come off as condescending, I promise. I just don't know how much you do or don't know. A lot of Europeans are politely unknowledgeable about American territories and how American they can be, for example.
My sister has a mild to moderate coffee addiction. The one time she ever tried Cuban coffee, I swear her pupils expanded beyond the whites of her eyes, with a small, demonic little smile. I still thank every sacred deity in every religion I can think of that someone had brought her some instead of getting it from the restaurant ourselves, because she was doing a fantastic Gollum impression once it wore off, and I am convinced that she would have drank herself into a heart attack via that stuff if she had unlimited access.
I am from Greece and we drink our coffee pretty strong, so in Cuba I was really at home with their coffee, which by the way is excellent. But he is right, you can't drink too much of Cuban coffee (or traditional Greek coffee either) without staying sleepless for a couple of days.
@@sappakia Yes I'm talking about the traditional Greek coffee which is indeed similar to the Turkish coffee. But we do drink all kinds of coffee all the time, Greeks are heavy coffee drinkers.

my college roommate was cuban. a semester last class required a long term assignment over a weekend. The assignment was very involved. my roommate fixed us some "old country coffee" then sat back with a bowl of popcorn to enjoy the show. He told me my group was talking faster than morse code. we got the work done. I fell asleep right around dawn. I woke up on the evening of the following DAY. The stuff is no joke.
Fluffy, you are an international treasure. SO glad that coffee didn't send you to the ER! Loved when you showed love to the Indians when you were talking about your shows in India. A genuine, warm human being.
The guy is one of the greats. He is inventive and almost never goes for CHEAP SHOCK HUMOR. His story telling is outstanding. When I want feel good humor, this 65 year old Gringo watches Fluffy.
As a gentleman with a Colombian mother, I can relate to his descriptions about how people speak Spanish. My Mum always sounds like she is reading the news from a television prompter on tv whenever she speaks. It's a Colombian trait where everything has to be pronounced perfectly and super clear.
What she speaks is Castilian...The Southern part of Spain does not speak like that...We speak a "Paleo Gitanillo" y Andaluz when it comes to Spanish...We can understand eachother just fine...It's all the same language from the same country...Besitos pa Colombia...💖
my spanish is not good but i find i can understand nayyib bukele (el salvador) when he delivers a speech. i think he uses a very standard dialect and he enunciates everything clearly.
We Dominicans talk fast and loud lol. We love our coffee as well and drink a lot of herbal teas and eat a lot of stews. Rice and root vegetables are a must but most importantly...el platano!!!! Plantains 😋
Nothing brings a more maniacal laughter to my suburban American face than telling my Puerto Rican mother and Cuban/Dominican father that their food is the same 🤣😈
I have only been around a few Cubans and Mexicans. But I've been around a lot of Puerto Ricans. And when I first watched this before he got to it, I thought oh, Puerto Ricans speak very quickly, English and Spanish! And very animated too! I love it!
When I was in the Army I saw many Puerto Rican talking Spanish I couldn't understand them they talk to fast they have their distinct dialect Chicano we have are dialect Dominicano are more understanding
Mr. GI is one of the greatest comedians! He has great materials, great delivery, and everyone can watch and listen to him. A very super talented comedian, your the GOAT!
As a part white/part Mexican, I've never been a fan of coffee. It has to be brewed right, or it's just dark hot water. But after seeing this (when originally posted) I just had to go to the closet Cuban restaurant and purchase one to go and I loved it! Then was extremely happy to have found a Cuban dulceria that sells the most awesome pastries and bags of Gaviña coffee beans! It's a 35-45 minute drive but so worth it. It's the only coffee I'll do.
@@murakyo79 Simon, but the white ones gotta point out they’re white. “We didn’t have to marry up because we were always on top.” 😉 (source: white chilangos) But seriously, he probably means half Mexican, half gringo. Cut him some slack!
So good! I learned Spanish in Santo Domingo, and the teachers told us (we were all priests and nuns) that they weren't going to teach us 'their' Spanish, but 'regular' Spanish. We asked why was that and they said because Dominicans speak so fast that no one else can understand them. Only later when I understood a little of the language did I realize that it's true. We would joke that Dominicans speak so fast, they don't have time to pronounce all the letters! (Some other time I will have to tell you what their faces looked like when we asked them how to curse. Trust me, we knew not everyone would be nice around us and we wanted to know what they said. LOL!)
i noticed mainly carribeans speak too fast. im chicano in georgia and often spoke spanish to a black guy from Dominic at work, whenever he appeared out of nowhere, angry and speaking full spanish I had trouble at first, even this older mexican lady who didn't speak any english couldn't understand him too much, had to translate for both of them.
I had a Cuban friend in Southern Florida make me a cup of Cuban coffee....Dear Lord! It just about blew my shoes off it was so strong. Gabriel, you are so funny and so right on with your breakdown of different Spanish speaking people. I just moved from New Mexico and a whole different accent there.
Thank you for enlightening everyone on how we come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Everyone has this idea every Latino is lighter skinned etc. 🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That’s not so. I’m Puerto Rican and grew up in San Diego. Having to explain this ALLLLL THE TIME is exhausting. 🤪
My dad is Dominican and when I was 18 my ex girlfriend (girlfriend at the time) was over at our house for the day. She asked my dad why he had a tiny cup of coffee. He tried explaining to her that it was expresso. Much like Cuban coffee, it's very strong. She didn't believe him and went to the kitchen and poured herself a mug of expresso(bustello), from the large stovetop expresso perculator my dad had. She was super hyper for about 10 minutes then I heard a horrible rumbling from her gut. She BOLTED to the bathroom. I'm talking a full sprint! And then I hear "Babe. . .I think I uhhh. . .made a mistake! She was in there for over an hour and came out of the bathroom sweating. Like she was visibly sick. And I had to give her tea for her stomach.
LOL it reminds me of my husband. When he met my uncle and his family. They had made green chili stew. Made with super hot chili my uncle grows. I told him it is super hot you really don't want it. He said I eat hot chili and the fact my uncle and cousins ate it like it was plain stew didn't help. Well he ate it and it was burning him. He got done went to watch TV and bolt to restroom. He told me it is burning him something awful. We gave him a half gallon of ice cream.
@@alissagonzales735, sounds like a guest we had over one night when we lived in Atlanta. He asked for hot sauce and my wife put the bottle of Cholula on the table and then the bottle of Sheriff Jim Taylor's Garlic and Herb Sauce next to. We told him don't put too much on if he'd never had either before. He grabbed the Cholula and put it on his food like he would Texas Pete or Frank's.🤦🏽♂️ He instantly regretted it.😂 And then he started sweating. I gave him some bread to calm things and he could speak he said the next time he'll listen. We had a guy one night in a truckstop mix both sauces together and we warned him not to do it. He turned different shades of red, sweated and his eyes watered. They're great separately but don't mix. Mount Airy, NC, is where I used to get Sheriff Jim Taylor's Garlic and Herb Sauce. Mount Airy is also known as Mayberry if you haven't started to wonder. The last thing I bought up there before being retired from driving was Aunt Bea's Cookbook for my wife.
I grew up with Mexicans, lived and worked in NYC with Puerto Ricans and lived in Florida and had alot of Cuban friends. Everthing he says is "Spot On". Cubans do love their coffee very very strong. I must say I love each of their cultures and the food👍👍
I remember some 45 years ago, my Cuban fellow student and apartment neighbor and his wife invited me and my wife for dinner. After, they serve cafecito. He warned me it was strong. It was a demitasse cup. I remember that I stayed awake all night, but that was ok because if I didn't, I would have wet the bed. The dinner was amazing. The coffee was good, but I don't drink coffee anyway. The school was up north, but he was from Florida. Interestingly many years later, we both practice in Florida.
I actually lived next to an old Cuban couple back when I lived in Cudahy, California. I could now tell that the strong smell from their house was coffee. The food my neighbor’s wife made was on a WHOLE other level. And they were both really kind. The way they talked too was very matter of factly too. They would often have people over for a game of Dominoes and Craps.
I was told a story by my parents about when my brothers were very young and they were visiting our Puerto Rican grandmother. At one point they said they could speak Spanish and apparently they started saying a bunch of non words really fast because that’s how it sounded to them.
Grew up in a diverse area & the speed of Spanish is spot on. From an outsider perspective of watching my Puerto Rican & Mexican friends speak to each other.
@@familyandfriends3519 Not sure how this applies to my statement as all I said was they speak Spanish. I can't speak for how every individual feels, but I would never tell my Puerto Rican friends they can't identify as Hispanic or Latino.
@@luv2bevl1 I as a Mexican is Hispanic because we are linked to Spain, however, the true and only Latin/Latino is a Roman of the Roman empire, i.e Spain, Italy, France, Portugal and Romania. We Mexicans are just linked to them via DNA, language, culture (traditions, structures, religion/creeds, system, gastronomy etc).
@@theultrawarrior7448 I said Spanish as in Language. Don't know why you went into all that. I think the Latin/Latino thing is actually a mater of perspective since some Hispanic ppl I know do think of themselves that way. But regardless the only reason it was brought up was from someone else commenting on here, not me.
My Puerto Rican painter is hilarious. He talks fast and LOUD when speaking in Spanish. Of course he is the same way when speaking English . He is so funny we laugh a lot. Oh and he is a good painter😁
👍🏼!!!! My husband was Cuban! I’m Puertorriqueña!! We had a son AND daughter. (That “mix” is very common - in my family in particular!) WE DEFINITELY!!!!! ARE TWO WINGS FROM THE SAME BIRD!!! 🦅 !!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!! 😉!!!!!😍 ❤️
This guy is a genius. Takes a lot of intelligence. I'm Mexican Spanish Italian German from Central Texas. I want to rule the World but I'll do it tomorrow!!!! 🤣 My family are mutts we live forever....
It's also the slang each culture uses, especially here in Los Angeles. So many Central Americans and everybody has a distinct pronunciation and it's the little terms each culture uses. Even among Mexicans in Mexico, just like in the United States, the accent and terminology gives you away as to what part of the country you're from.
Oh lord. I've never been to Cuba, but the cultural shock is relatable. When I moved back to America after living overseas for several years, one of the things I noticed about the drinks is restaurants is... "Why they put in more ice than the actual drink?"
When i was a power plant manager (and engineer) in Georgia i had a young engineer working for me who grew up in Cuba with his parents who were missionaries from the states. Power plant workers are known for very strong coffee to start with (we put in 2-3 packages of coffee {not 1as per directions} and it add the hot water). However my friend (young engineer) would always take the left over pot of coffee and put it in the fridge at the end of the day. The next morning he would pour it over the new coffee and add a little water to make a full pot (it was blacker than pitch lol). We always were puzzled as he was the clamest engineer in our group. It was then he told me the story of the concentrated coffee culture in Cuba. I realized he grew up with strong coffee so it did not faze him! He earned his masters degree in electrical engineering while he worked for me, i thought wow faith in Christ with Cuban coffee makes you unstoppable!!
I find really funny this thing about Cubans talking like they were angry . I remenber once that my husband and I were at a store (We are Spaniards and this happpened in Madrid) and this Cuban man enters asking for the nearest post office and two ladies from Castilla León there started giving him directions. Suddenly the man was really mad saying "Why are you yelling at me, I'm only only asking for the post office". We had to intervine and explain him that it was only their way of speaking and that they were actually being nice and trying to help him. He wasn't really conviced when he left the store. I guess he wasn't used to people sounding even angrier.😂
If he was Cuban, he knew about the Crazy Gallegos with alpargatas from the bodega...Believe me...He was just being nice and asserting his position above theirs in his fake humbleness...That's how slick Cubans are...Don't let demeanor fool ya....😂😂😂...You all learned from Franco, but he learned it from Fidel...😂😂😂...Bechitos...💖
I’m Mexican and I find both Spanish accents from Spain and from Cuba similar on that regard that they sound strong However if a waiter asks you. Que eh lo que tú quiere? I think that sounds rude, regardless the language or the accent 😁
That is strange do to that I am a Cuban American, both great grandparents where from Galicia and The Basque land (Vascos) and Cubans in general tend to speak loud, remember Cubans descend from Northern Spaniards, Galicia, Asturias, Castilla la Vieja, Basque (Vascos), Catalanes and the Canary Islands.
I recently spent two weeks in Cuba, travelling around. The Spanish coloniser / African slave heritage makes for a spectrum of shades of good-looking people. I also saw a few women who looked like they might be descended from native Cubans - straight black hair and straight noses.
Where I grew up in NJ there were a large population of Puerto Ricans and Cubans. I can attest what this man says is true. Cubans always seemed to be in a bad mood, and were very forthright and forceful. And Puerto Ricans spoke very, very fast. Even other native Spanish speakers were like "Hey, slow it down a bit!"
@@wiiink Where at in NJ?? I grew up in Hopatcong. Most of the Latinos there were Puerto Rican. But other others also. Oddly enough, at that time, no Mexicans. I also spent a LOT of time in Dover, as well as the rest of Morris and Essex counties.

I'm part Mexican and Portuguese and live in California which has a diverse Latino culture. But, I realize I have never met a Cuban here. All I can think about when he talked about this was when Ricky Ricardo from I Love Lucy would get upset and rapid fire Spanish. lol However, I do know Mexicans that also rapid fire when they talk. Not all of us are that relaxed. 🤣Even just in speaking English me and my family will talk really fast.

Mexican mom, Colombian dad, Cuban stepdad, born in Miami - everything from telling apart the way you speak Spanish to the accent to cafecitos WAS SPOT ON AND HILARIOUS 🤣
How strong is cafecitio Cubano?
Not quite. Cubans don't speak Spanish at all, they speak Spanglish!
I've been to Mexico and Colombia. Some of my own ancestry is Spanish and Mexican, so I've got distant relatives in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Chile, and Puerto Rico. Three different ways to pronounce 'sencillo' in Spanish, depending on where someone is from. I thought -ico , 'un poquitico', was just Colombian until I heard Cubans use it too. If someone says 'guaguá', they're Caribbean. 'Buseta', they're Colombian, and you might want to warn them about using this word in Brazil. 😁 Some Mexican friends have asked me if I was Cuban. No, just Spanish and Mexican. Still, when I was in Colombia some people asked me if I had relative there. Yes, but distant relatives through my great-great-great-grandfather from Spain. He came to Texas, and his wife came from Mexico. I'm sure some of his relatives who moved to Latin America did so because Spanish is spoken in the countries they moved to. I have a few distant relatives who live in the Mexican state of Nuevo León, near Monterrey.

Fluffy: "get me a full sized cup of cafecito"
Waiter: "so you've chosen death"
". . . a full sized cup of cafecito" is a contradiction in terms because "cito" means small (or little) so a "cafecito" is a small coffee. What Fluffy actually says is "Bring me a full sized cup of coffee."
hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am that person who does ask for a regular size cup of it at Cafe Havana and then insists after the manager strongly advises against it. And I don't regret it one bit. But they give me what should probably cost at least $30.00 so I feel a little guilty. But dayam it's good.

Idk if you speak Spanish but if you don’t, you should say mamaguevo to the first old Hispanic lady you find, it’s an informal way of saying hi that was popular in their time :)

The black cab driver speaking Spanish remind me the time I worked as a waiter in NYC and I had German guests trying to understand the menu in English. I am a Latino from Peru who lived and worked in Europe long enough to speak German quite well. One of them asked a question very carefully crafted as he were taking an English test. I smiled and I replied in German. Suddenly, everyone freezes with their mouth open as they were watching something out of this world. The expression in their faces were hilarious I wish someone could take a picture or videorecord.
As a Cuban, although coffee is definitely in our blood, our preferred alcoholic drink is definitely rum.

I’m wondering about tequila being the most popular with Mexicanos. In my town the ordinary people drink cerveza and mezcal in that order. Occasionally you might come across pulque. I think tequila might be a Mexican-American thing.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Tequila is a special type of mezcal. Im pretty sure most people outside of mexico wouldnt be able to tell the difference.
So that's why the rum is gone.

To all the people saying us Puerto Ricans speak too fast; you haven't met our Dominican neighbors. Those people really apply the meaning of speed to their speech!
As a Dominican this is so true but we dont have the barrio accent we speak “normal” Spanish, i thought we spoke pretty decent and slow until my white british boyfriend heard my mom and grandma talk he was astounded at how fast they spoke lmao

When I was very young I lived in Orlando and there was this awesome Cuban restaurant that my father used to take me to for "boy's night" once a month, which was just my dad and me since I was an only child. It was meant to be a bonding experience, and the people at the restaurant came to know us. I don't remember the name, and I'd be surprised if it was still there (the last time we went was when I was 10, 35 years ago).
My father would always get a cup of cafecito at the end of the meal, and because the restaurant owner knew I wanted to be a "big man", even though I was really young, he would bring me my own "cafecito", which was just a small cup of warm milk with maybe -- MAYBE -- a teaspoon of coffee in it.
The people who owned that restaurant were just the best damn people in the world. The place was small and it was clear that they were far from rich, but they always brought me extra plantains and always sat and talked with us for a while when we were there.
so like why share this and let us know it was awesome? To let us know it's sad we can't go visit it or that you can't remember any of the people in it? What the duck is up you ducker? >_>

Informant ~ whistleblower ~ media: Most people would like the Americans incharge of our country to feel a little Tranquility, one of the first things our government's constitution states as a goal. The real fight is in the media, about 20 million subscribe to this form of internet "news" which is; opinion driven, politically motivated, well funded, ad appreciated and stupid to foolish. I know that it's an opinion which is really my political satire for today, however 150 plus million voted in the last presidential election, the other 200 million didn't, why? Because, the media didn't do a very good job of telling the truth. We all understand when you throw suffer on a fire, you get nice looking flames, well the chemist do. My point being, we are paying more to live today. Whose responsibility is that, Americans. If you want more we fight for it with money, the more you have the harder you fight, and the more you win, except the less money we all have. Mar-a-Lago is a home and a club, it's not the Alamo, Santa Anna did not kill everyone that was fight there, but the people that did do whatever they did do on "Monday morning" could have taken Santa Anna, so yes we are a much stronger country, but to call someone and informant ~ whistleblower ~ on a former president, who by some account was talking to the folks incharge may have not crossed the Bill Travis' Line. The more the media plays fast and loose with their air time, the higher the risk to Americans will pay more for freedom, and words have consequences, those that lie are always judged by history. Some of the media like the DNC some like the RNC a few hate Americans, that's the America we fight for, we never want people getting hurt, but China killed 6 million people so far with whatever you call 19, and this is piece time, China has 10 Trillion dollars worth of our US Bonds, that's a high price to pay if they want to attack one of their own, Russia is waring with a former state, that's a personal thing for Putin, the "bad middle east" is trying to take over the world, as a god thing. Meanwhile the media is fighting over who can have 10 million subscribers, and the American people are torn apart because both sides pay billions to get people on their shows, if some of us find that silly, think about this, 200 million didn't vote, silly would not be their word, our history mostly tells the tail, we are 5 minutes away from speaking Japanese, MIDWAY, we are 5 minutes away from speaking German, D-Day and the tanks were held back, we are 5 minutes away from speaking French, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, or a dozen others. We talk our own language ~ farcical. History will let us now who won, who lost and why, but until that time has come ~ the leaders of our country need to understand, words have consequences, the media needs to understand words have consequences, but the people need to understand the votes have consequences, as the saying goes......HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW ....... If you don't want to be compared to "bad people" don't do foolish things, if you don't want to be compared to "fools" don't do or say stupid things, and if you want to be compared with "good people" be good and say truth and act like an American, and if don't want to be compared, you're in the wrong country, we are all measured by our time, our times, and our actions, words and stuff. You can be a Washington, a Lincoln, a Patton or a Booth. All are dead, all have history, 7 million babies have been aborted RVW they have no history. We are in the most important time in our history, until the next time. That's the way it works in our America, we had a few good years, they seem to have failed to be appreciated by us, we don't get them back, but they are now part of our history, in 18 months you can see the difference words make, or feel the history around us. I have no knowledge of "WHAT'S NEXT" as Jeb would say, but I do know that history will say, it will tell the story of America, and those that see, read or study, those Americans will judge the people of today ~ and they will do it as a study of our stupidness, greatness or foolishness, and the people, a Lincoln or a Booth those are the only two standards most in politics are based your are either right or wrong.
I’m Puerto Rican and grew up in a Cuban neighborhood. Since childhood I been drinking those shots of coffee. When he said he drank the whole bowl I gasped out loud! The most I’ve ever had is 3 shots and that gave me heart palpitations and an upset stomach. A whole bowl is a real emergency!
I did a thing like that when I was a teenager back in the 80s. I wanted to make myself some coffee before I went to my Subway gig, and my mom had this dutch chocolate coffee in the freezer. It smelled great, so I set about making a pot of it. "Let's see...bag says one scoop per cup - it's a 10-cup pot, so that's 10 scoops!" By the time I got to work everything was very weird and everything sounded like I was in the bottom of a huge bucket. I didn't do that again.
🤣🤣🤣@@BrutishYetDelightful

Yeah takes years to build enough tolerance to drink a whole cafetera(Cup of the coffe making machine)
@lmaoashley - What's with all the Puerto Ricans with the flags on the rear view mirrors? Why don't Puerto Ricans ever don any American flags? It's almost like they hate the U.S. yet still want to be here for the benefits?

As a dominocan that's accurate, we sometimes we pour our rice into the coffee and eat it like rice. And it has to be biryani otherwise it's not authentic, and ypu can add black beans it makes it rich in flavour.
As a black American from Georgia, I can tell you that what he says about the variety of races in the Cuban and PR population is true. I went was visiting Miami's Little Havana section and saw a dark skinned black man with long dreadlocks. I thought he was Jamaican. I tried to ask him directions on how to get to certain spot I was looking for and neither one of us understood the other. Much love and respect to Latin culture though. I need to learn Spanish.
There is nothing new about this. I am African American and I can't understand how it isn't more common knowledge that more African slaves were sent to South America and Cariibean islands than what it is now USA. Cuba always had a large black presence. The culture of Afro-Cubans is very influential.

Ariana Grande should be Ariana Grito 😁😂
The joke is funny, but the grammar has been anglicized for the benefit of a larger audience that might be more familiar with the suffix "-ande". The correct ending for something large is "-ote" and "-ota", not "-ande". For example, a dog, "perro", is "perrito" (if small) and perrote (if large and male) and "perrota" (if large and female). "Very grande", like Gabriel is, would be "grandote". :-) :-) :-)
@@just1ooking He IS grandisimo, indeed!
@@irairod5160 What about -ón?
@@Enigmatism415 Yes, /--on/ works for some words, but to inflect "cafe" and "grande", we would say cafecito, cafesote, not cafeson, and grande, grandote, grandecito (colloquial for "sorta big") grandisimo...or modify the word to say "grandullon". That one is very infrequently used. For a large "carreta", for example, you do say "carreton", so, good question.
I’m thankful for the time I lived in south Florida. Before that I thought Spanish was Spanish but I learned how to tell where someone was from by the way they spoke Spanish. I went to radiology technology school in Hialeah and made some awesome friends there. Latinos are a beautiful and diverse group of people.
So I’m a Black guy (USA not Latino or Caribbean) but I have a cousin that’s half Puertorican and he’s married to a full Cuban woman. I’m the proud “Padrino” to two of their lovely daughters.

My father flew to Rio way back in the 90s before flying became a chore, He and my mother got bumped to First Class. They brought out the coffee service with normal enough looking tea cups, and poured in about a shot. My dad looked at it and was like, "What's this?"
"Cafe."
"Why didn't you fill it?"
"Would you like me to, sir?"
"Please." So she did, with this sort of 'I want to laugh but I don't dare' expression on her face.
Just like Fluffy said - it was Super Juiced coffee. It wasn't a beverage, it was a street drug! He managed to get through the cup and was wired to his eyeballs the rest of the flight.
He brought back an entire suitcase of that coffee.
I dont blame him for bringing back an entire suitcase 🤣
Oh no.
First time I went to Starbucks it was in Florida and I was 15. Ask for a coffee, the smallest size, get a 300ml cup. Hmmm, ok, that’s too much coffee I am going to die for suRE. First sip and I turned to my brother and asked “why do they serve watered down coffee? Is it because I am a minor? This tastes really bad I can’t drink 300ml of it.” he tells me “idk, ask for an espresso”. Ok, fine, order the espresso. IT’S WEAK ESPRESSO. I later asked the barista if they serve watered coffee to teenagers or something like that and the barista goes like “are you Brazilian?“ “yeah, why?” “That’s how coffee is here, get used to it 😂”. I was gutted.

@@RenanRF The name actually came from WWII. American troops stationed in Europe didn't like the flavor is the espresso so they would take a shot and put water in it to make it more like what they were familiar with.
As a Puerto Rican, we absolutely talk like there's a time limit 🤣 Oh my God, man, I almost spit out my food when he said that 🤣 The first time I have my husband some Spanish Espresso coffee, I asked how much cream and sugar he wants.

Heck, I've tried mimicking my dad's accent but I cannot, though I prob naturally had it until I went through speech therapy as a little for it: it was deemed an 'impediment', but my 'impediment' was me literally pronouncing English words the Spanish way...which led to some unintended cursing in both languages 😬

Ehh
As a Cuban who spent some of their childhood in a Dominican/Puerto Rican neighborhood of Jersey City...this is straight up accurate! But a simple way for me to tell another Cuban is to ask the very simple question, "¿Qué bola, asere?" Every other Latino would have no idea what I'm talking about, but every Cuban would know this as our way of saying "What's up, bro?" Thanks to colonization of the Caribbean, we all come in different colors. Wait until Gabriel finds out about Chinese-Cubans!
In Manhattan's Upper West Side, there's a Chinese-Cuban fusion originally called La Caridad 78 founded in 1968 by Raphael Lee, and his son took over the business. The original closed in July 2020, but moved and reopened as La Caridad 72 in 2023. While the chefs overtime were replaced with ones from Mainland China, ONE Chinese-Cuban chef remained, and he had a Cuban accent SO thick, that you just wouldn't expect it to come out of his mouth (there's a Great Big Story vid with the restaurant featured). But seriously, Chinese-Cuban cuisine IS a thing. Baby back ribs with guava barbecue sauce is an example of this!
Now I want ribs at 2 in the morning...

La Caridad 78 was adored by all Latinos in NYC. It was iconic. Very happy memories there. Sad it closed.
As a brazilian I'm like "yeah, I'm definitely latino", then you would differentiate latinos by the way they speak spanish, in this case I guess iit would be just "If don't speak spanish at all, thats a brazilian".
And if they could take that bowl of coffee and not feel it at all, they're definitely Brazilians.

Is it stronger than Puerto Rican cafe? Cafe Bustelo is the strongest cafe i have ever had.
@@inconnu4961 Café Bustelo is from New York and inspired by Cuban coffee so it's not really Puerto Rican. Pilón and La Llave are much more authentic to the Cuban coffee taste and, in my opinion, stronger.
Edit: If you want to try real coffee from Puerto Rico, try Alto Grande (high end, internationally available local brand), Café Rico (good local brand), or Yaucono (not as good as the other two, but more widely available outside of Puerto Rico).
Yooo😂
Yes!
The coffee story reminds me of the time when a Canadian reporter was here in Brazil covering the Olympics and was complaining about the size of the coffee cups they were being served in the press center (they are like 50ml, more or less 1.7oz - almost like the size of a single espresso cup)... Oh boy! A war started! Those coffees are really strong and you don't want to drink a lot of it straight away, you drink little by little. If you are used or are drinking at home you'll drink in a bigger cup.
I remember but people overreacted because he explained why the size is so small. I remember he replied something like "It seems like coffee is a sensitive subject here". 😂
Tell you. I'm from Norway and I would have downed that bowl and been a ok. Norway is one of top consumers of coffee. We can take it, have a good long shit and move on with our lives.
@@Bennis83 ... Coffee is a part of brazilian culture, trust us when we say you don't really know what a strong one is.

I don't see an issue here
As someone who learned Spanish in high school, perfected it in college and speaks it fluently and regularly among Puerto Rican friends and coworkers I've been told by native speakers in places like Spain that I speak Spanish with an American accent but my dialect sounds like a blend of Puerto Rican and Mexican inflections on the language. So I can relate to this.
But even Mexicans have the weirdest accents. Put a norteño, a yucateco, and a poblano in the same room and then wait for the Monty Python sketch to unfold.
HAHAHAHA the monty phyton 😭 but is puebla accent really weird? Idk um from puebla and I think it sounds normal
@@nellpaz7853My parents are from Puebla, and we speak rather normally. Paced out and the words are easy to understand, but when I went to Puebla 2 years ago, my family who is from there speak normally as well but they do drag out some words making it sound like how Fluffy interpreted it. But overall, there is really no stereotypical “accent” from Puebla unless there are other influences of the people there from other parts of Mexico.
Fr i always thought central mexicans sound like the regular mexican accent. My dad is poblano, and my mom is from morelos 😊@nellpaz7853
For real.
Mi papa es de Pueblaaaa and they drag on their last sylalble kinda like chilangooos
Love how Martine is in the back nodding in approval. I love how Fluffy uses real life experience to bring people joy.
I tried a similar trick in Turkiye years ago. Ordered four “because they were so little.”

Same with Greek coffee. Tiny cups but strong as hell LOL
@@shelbyk2193 Fun fact: Greek coffee was called Turkish coffee in Greece... until 1974
I drank eight tiny cups of espresso at a party for a Brazilian exchange student going back home. Two hours later, I thought I was dying, and my heart rate was one continuous banging inside my chest. 😳
@@brdrnda3805 Yes, you are correct. Love the coffee!
I've never had Cuban coffee before, but I have fallen into the trap of Turkish coffee before. My first trip to Turkey I had several tiny cups with breakfast, drinking like a typical North American. I'm pretty sure my heart turned into a hummingbird for a few hours. That stuff is no joke.
Now when I travel, when I order something and it comes in a configuration I'm not accustomed to, I think really hard about the consequences before I ask anyone to adjust the size.

Man, I still remember in college, talking to some of the Puerto Ricans... One of them asked me "Cong quien taqui?!" And I was like ... Taqui? Wtf is a taqui? Taqui.... And finally they slowed themselves down "con quien esta aqui" and I was like ooooolhhhhhhh
this made me laugh 😂
😂 we shorten many words. Ven pa'ca mi'jo= ven para acá mi hijo(come here my son).

We don’t speak like that!!! That sounds like a Dominican, not Puerto Rican, we would sound more like: Mera, con quien ejtaj (substituting the s for j) aquí??? Meaning: who you with??? That sounds more like Puerto Ricans from the island. Now Puerto Ricans born in the states talk more like Dominicans, but we talk with a different accent.

My sister has a mild to moderate coffee addiction. The one time she ever tried Cuban coffee, I swear her pupils expanded beyond the whites of her eyes, with a small, demonic little smile. I still thank every sacred deity in every religion I can think of that someone had brought her some instead of getting it from the restaurant ourselves, because she was doing a fantastic Gollum impression once it wore off, and I am convinced that she would have drank herself into a heart attack via that stuff if she had unlimited access.

I am from Greece and we drink our coffee pretty strong, so in Cuba I was really at home with their coffee, which by the way is excellent. But he is right, you can't drink too much of Cuban coffee (or traditional Greek coffee either) without staying sleepless for a couple of days.

my college roommate was cuban. a semester last class required a long term assignment over a weekend. The assignment was very involved. my roommate fixed us some "old country coffee" then sat back with a bowl of popcorn to enjoy the show. He told me my group was talking faster than morse code. we got the work done. I fell asleep right around dawn. I woke up on the evening of the following DAY. The stuff is no joke.

As a gentleman with a Colombian mother, I can relate to his descriptions about how people speak Spanish. My Mum always sounds like she is reading the news from a television prompter on tv whenever she speaks. It's a Colombian trait where everything has to be pronounced perfectly and super clear.

As a part white/part Mexican, I've never been a fan of coffee. It has to be brewed right, or it's just dark hot water. But after seeing this (when originally posted) I just had to go to the closet Cuban restaurant and purchase one to go and I loved it! Then was extremely happy to have found a Cuban dulceria that sells the most awesome pastries and bags of Gaviña coffee beans! It's a 35-45 minute drive but so worth it. It's the only coffee I'll do.

So good! I learned Spanish in Santo Domingo, and the teachers told us (we were all priests and nuns) that they weren't going to teach us 'their' Spanish, but 'regular' Spanish. We asked why was that and they said because Dominicans speak so fast that no one else can understand them. Only later when I understood a little of the language did I realize that it's true. We would joke that Dominicans speak so fast, they don't have time to pronounce all the letters! (Some other time I will have to tell you what their faces looked like when we asked them how to curse. Trust me, we knew not everyone would be nice around us and we wanted to know what they said. LOL!)
yeah we definitely drop a bunch of letters in words haha
@@Shenzy17 and turn L's to i's. Me: De donde son? Dominican: La Capitai.
@@Ali-7676 only if you're from the "cibao"(north), then it's either switching Rs by Ls (east/capital) or switching "Ls" to "Rs" (south)
Cubans also have a habit of dropping the last letter of some words when speaking informally.
i noticed mainly carribeans speak too fast. im chicano in georgia and often spoke spanish to a black guy from Dominic at work, whenever he appeared out of nowhere, angry and speaking full spanish I had trouble at first, even this older mexican lady who didn't speak any english couldn't understand him too much, had to translate for both of them.
I had a Cuban friend in Southern Florida make me a cup of Cuban coffee....Dear Lord! It just about blew my shoes off it was so strong. Gabriel, you are so funny and so right on with your breakdown of different Spanish speaking people. I just moved from New Mexico and a whole different accent there.
Thank you for enlightening everyone on how we come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. Everyone has this idea every Latino is lighter skinned etc. 🥰👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That’s not so. I’m Puerto Rican and grew up in San Diego. Having to explain this ALLLLL THE TIME is exhausting. 🤪
It works both ways, but yeah, I totally get it! 😖 ("Oh, you don't LOOK Puerto Rican.")
right lol
My dad is Dominican and when I was 18 my ex girlfriend (girlfriend at the time) was over at our house for the day. She asked my dad why he had a tiny cup of coffee. He tried explaining to her that it was expresso. Much like Cuban coffee, it's very strong. She didn't believe him and went to the kitchen and poured herself a mug of expresso(bustello), from the large stovetop expresso perculator my dad had. She was super hyper for about 10 minutes then I heard a horrible rumbling from her gut. She BOLTED to the bathroom. I'm talking a full sprint! And then I hear "Babe. . .I think I uhhh. . .made a mistake! She was in there for over an hour and came out of the bathroom sweating. Like she was visibly sick. And I had to give her tea for her stomach.
LOL it reminds me of my husband. When he met my uncle and his family. They had made green chili stew. Made with super hot chili my uncle grows. I told him it is super hot you really don't want it. He said I eat hot chili and the fact my uncle and cousins ate it like it was plain stew didn't help. Well he ate it and it was burning him. He got done went to watch TV and bolt to restroom. He told me it is burning him something awful. We gave him a half gallon of ice cream.

@@alissagonzales735, sounds like a guest we had over one night when we lived in Atlanta. He asked for hot sauce and my wife put the bottle of Cholula on the table and then the bottle of Sheriff Jim Taylor's Garlic and Herb Sauce next to. We told him don't put too much on if he'd never had either before. He grabbed the Cholula and put it on his food like he would Texas Pete or Frank's.🤦🏽♂️ He instantly regretted it.😂 And then he started sweating. I gave him some bread to calm things and he could speak he said the next time he'll listen.
We had a guy one night in a truckstop mix both sauces together and we warned him not to do it. He turned different shades of red, sweated and his eyes watered. They're great separately but don't mix. Mount Airy, NC, is where I used to get Sheriff Jim Taylor's Garlic and Herb Sauce. Mount Airy is also known as Mayberry if you haven't started to wonder.

I grew up with Mexicans, lived and worked in NYC with Puerto Ricans and lived in Florida and had alot of Cuban friends. Everthing he says is "Spot On". Cubans do love their coffee very very strong. I must say I love each of their cultures and the food👍👍
When my grandpa (Cuban) made coffee, I would get a caffeine high just from smelling it, even from upstairs. Miss you Papa ❤
Sounds similar to Italian coffee
I remember some 45 years ago, my Cuban fellow student and apartment neighbor and his wife invited me and my wife for dinner. After, they serve cafecito. He warned me it was strong. It was a demitasse cup. I remember that I stayed awake all night, but that was ok because if I didn't, I would have wet the bed. The dinner was amazing. The coffee was good, but I don't drink coffee anyway. The school was up north, but he was from Florida. Interestingly many years later, we both practice in Florida.
I actually lived next to an old Cuban couple back when I lived in Cudahy, California. I could now tell that the strong smell from their house was coffee.
The food my neighbor’s wife made was on a WHOLE other level. And they were both really kind. The way they talked too was very matter of factly too. They would often have people over for a game of Dominoes and Craps.
If you drink a bowl of Cuban coffee on Monday you’ll be awake till Armageddon 😂😂😂
I was told a story by my parents about when my brothers were very young and they were visiting our Puerto Rican grandmother. At one point they said they could speak Spanish and apparently they started saying a bunch of non words really fast because that’s how it sounded to them.
Grew up in a diverse area & the speed of Spanish is spot on.
From an outsider perspective of watching my Puerto Rican & Mexican friends speak to each other.
Puerto Rico is not Spanish and Hispanic and Latino until given back to Spain and getting independence only from Spain your Americans now
@@familyandfriends3519 Not sure how this applies to my statement as all I said was they speak Spanish.
I can't speak for how every individual feels, but I would never tell my Puerto Rican friends they can't identify as Hispanic or Latino.

I as a Mexican is Hispanic because we are linked to Spain, however, the true and only Latin/Latino is a Roman of the Roman empire, i.e Spain, Italy, France, Portugal and Romania.

It's also the slang each culture uses, especially here in Los Angeles. So many Central Americans and everybody has a distinct pronunciation and it's the little terms each culture uses. Even among Mexicans in Mexico, just like in the United States, the accent and terminology gives you away as to what part of the country you're from.
And if they're speaking Portuguese, they're Brazilian
Everything he just said about us Cubans is 100% true !
Oh lord. I've never been to Cuba, but the cultural shock is relatable.

When i was a power plant manager (and engineer) in Georgia i had a young engineer working for me who grew up in Cuba with his parents who were missionaries from the states. Power plant workers are known for very strong coffee to start with (we put in 2-3 packages of coffee {not 1as per directions} and it add the hot water). However my friend (young engineer) would always take the left over pot of coffee and put it in the fridge at the end of the day. The next morning he would pour it over the new coffee and add a little water to make a full pot (it was blacker than pitch lol). We always were puzzled as he was the clamest engineer in our group. It was then he told me the story of the concentrated coffee culture in Cuba. I realized he grew up with strong coffee so it did not faze him! He earned his masters degree in electrical engineering while he worked for me, i thought wow faith in Christ with Cuban coffee makes you unstoppable!!
I find really funny this thing about Cubans talking like they were angry . I remenber once that my husband and I were at a store (We are Spaniards and this happpened in Madrid) and this Cuban man enters asking for the nearest post office and two ladies from Castilla León there started giving him directions. Suddenly the man was really mad saying "Why are you yelling at me, I'm only only asking for the post office". We had to intervine and explain him that it was only their way of speaking and that they were actually being nice and trying to help him. He wasn't really conviced when he left the store. I guess he wasn't used to people sounding even angrier.😂
If he was Cuban, he knew about the Crazy Gallegos with alpargatas from the bodega...Believe me...He was just being nice and asserting his position above theirs in his fake humbleness...That's how slick Cubans are...Don't let demeanor fool ya....😂😂😂...You all learned from Franco, but he learned it from Fidel...😂😂😂...Bechitos...💖
