"Moliendo Café" is a song by Venezuelan composer Hugo Blanco. It was composed in 1958, when Blanco was 18 years old.

The story goes that Blanco's uncle, Jose Manzo Perroni, helped him compose it. In later years, Perroni claimed that he created the melody and sued his nephew.[1]

The first recording of "Moliendo Café" was made by Mario Suárez. At present, the song has more than 800 versions in many languages. In Japan, the song's title was "Coffe Rumba".
