The espresso's journey · head to head
Cortado vs macchiato
The cortado has more espresso, and the macchiato has more foam. Same coffee, just a different mix of espresso, milk and air.
A cortado is all about balance: equal parts espresso and warm milk, just enough to take the edge off the shot. A macchiato barely has any milk at all. It's a single shot with a spoonful of foam on top, so it stays small and strong.
