The espresso's journey · head to head

Latte vs cortado

Both use the same espresso. The latte just has more milk and more foam. It's the milk, not the coffee, that sets them apart.

A cortado keeps the milk one-to-one with the espresso in a small glass, so you taste the coffee in every sip. A latte uses three times as much milk in a tall cup with a thin layer of foam, and comes out mellow, milky and mild. Think of the cortado as the short, strong one and the latte as the long, comforting one.
