Enjoy a cortado when you want a focused, satisfying coffee—an afternoon pick-me-up or a smooth finish after a meal. As specialty coffee shops continue to highlight espresso quality and balance, the cortado has become an increasingly popular choice on modern café menus.
- Description
Cortado ☕
A cortado is a Spanish coffee drink made with equal parts espresso and steamed milk, creating a smooth, balanced cup. Its name comes from the Spanish word cortar (“to cut”), referring to how the milk “cuts” the espresso’s intensity. Popularized in Spain and now common in specialty cafés worldwide, it’s a simple drink with a refined profile.
Perfect for: Coffee lovers who want the richness of espresso without the intensity, or those who find lattes too milky.
How It Compares ⚖️
vs. Cappuccino — less milk, less foam, and a smaller overall size
vs. Flat White — smaller size with less milk overall, keeping the espresso more prominent
vs. Macchiato — more milk, with a less intense espresso punch
vs. Latte — much smaller and noticeably stronger in coffee taste
