How to Make a Cortado
How to Make a Cortado
What You’ll Need
- Espresso Machine
- Freshly Ground Espresso Coffee Beans
- Milk Frother or steam wand
- Milk (whole milk for best results, but alternatives like oat or almond milk also work)
- Small Glass (Cortado glass)
Step 1: Brew the Espresso
- Start by brewing a double shot of espresso using your espresso machine. A cortado typically uses a double shot to balance the milk and coffee ratio perfectly.
Step 2: Steam the Milk
- Heat and steam about 2 ounces (60 ml) of milk. The milk should be warm but not frothy, as the cortado has little to no foam. Aim for a silky, smooth texture.
Step 3: Combine Espresso and Milk
- Pour the freshly brewed espresso into your small glass. Gently add the steamed milk on top, maintaining the 1:1 ratio between espresso and milk.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Your cortado is ready to enjoy! This balanced drink combines the boldness of espresso with the smoothness of steamed milk for a satisfying flavor.
