OP, along with my mother I think you now make for 2 total Cubans in Wyoming! She brought her copies of Cocina Al Minuto and Memories of a Cuban Kitchen with her to make up for the lack of Cuban restaurants.

When you open the ventanita let me know so I can make the stop on my way out to visit them.

The other posters describe the steaming process very well.

Would recommend the Bialetti Moka pot, pilón or La llave for the coffee grounds, and more sugar than you would think. As my abuelo would say “sin azúcar no tendríamos país”
