This is the old-school way, a stovetop cafeteira tucked into a centuries-old hearth. It’s exactly how my German oma, Ruth, made her coffee, and brewing it this same way brought that nostalgia rushing back.

Even Delta, the coffee most of Portugal grew up on, has gone capsule. I still feel that little jolt of excitement seeing the name on the machine, old loyalty dies hard.
