A clay pot is essential for its preparation, as it is not prepared in the usual coffee machine but in a clay pot with great dedication.
The ingredients include brandy, rum, cinnamon, lemon and orange peel, and coffee beans.
You can enjoy "Café Caleta" in many restaurants, although it is not always offered on restaurant menus, but some restaurants prepare it on request.
To prepare it at home, we will have to heat the water to boiling, turn off the fire after adding the ground coffee, let it remain for a quarter of an hour.
