Cortado

A Cortado is a classic coffee drink that perfectly balances rich espresso with a touch of steamed milk. Originating from Spain, its name comes from the Spanish word “cortar,” meaning “to cut,” as the milk “cuts” through the espresso, softening its intensity while retaining its bold flavor. Typically served in a small glass, the Cortado has a 1:1 ratio of espresso to milk, with no foam, making it smooth and velvety. It’s the ideal choice for those who enjoy the robust taste of espresso with a subtle, creamy finish.
