Introducing the Cortado Coffee

Remember the hype of the Flat White? Well prepare for round two as we introduce the arrival of the Cortado! Making its way over from Italy the Cortado has more punch than a Flat White and more milk than a Macchiato. As a self-proclaimed inbetweeners the Cortado is intense yet sweet. With a similar palatable taste to that of the Flat white however served in a 4.5oz glass.

Cortado, translated means “the cut” which refers to the milk cutting the espresso. As the drink settles, you can see the silkiness of milk and espresso combine with 0.5cm of micro-foam settling on top – it’s mesmerising to watch.

The key to making the Cortado is milk preparation. With less foam it allows denser milk with a rough guide of 1:2 ratio of espresso to milk it reduces the acidity and presents a sweeter taste.

The Cortado marries up beautifully with our little Vitro S1 Espresso which is a compact coffee machine designed to provide the highest quality of coffee espresso-based drinks into any location that consumes less than 60 cups per day. Call though to our Sales specialists for more details on this machine and many more in our range.
