As espresso is typically brewed to be a thick concentrated bitter drink, milk is usually added to “cut” the bitter taste and mellow down the strong flavors of an espresso. Tracing back in time, Cortado originates from Spain where the term “Cortar” means “cut”.
Traditionally, a Cortado is served in a small glass and the milk is not textured. Hence, volume wise a cortado usually does not exceed 4 oz which is approximately 120 ml. Knowing that a double shot espresso typically yields up to 60 ml, a Cortado is a double shot espresso beverage topped with equal amounts of milk. Before identifying the difference between Cortado and a Flat White, you should of course know what a Cortado is.Ī Cortado is a small sized espresso based milk beverage where the ratio of espresso to milk is 1:1.
