Cortado

A Cortado is a coffee drink that consists of equal parts espresso and steamed milk. The name "cortado" comes from the Spanish word "cortar," meaning "to cut," referring to how the milk "cuts" the intensity of the espresso, creating a smooth and balanced drink. The result is a rich, bold coffee flavor with a creamy texture, making it a perfect choice for those who want a strong coffee flavor without the bitterness of straight espresso. It's typically served in a smaller glass or cup, offering a more concentrated and satisfying coffee experience.
