I've recently fallen in love with Cortados. I used to lean towards cappuccinos almost exclusively, however I think that is about to change. Can't beat the perfect blend of espresso and milk. So much richness yet the clear taste of coffee, and consistent mouthfeel from top to bottom. Also less milk waste. Then again, all of it may be determined by choice of cups that allude to this experience.

it's the same with me, liked cappuccino cups more bc I could feel the rich taste but always felt bad about the amount of milk that got put into it :p

I am drinking just cortado and flat white. Love the stronger feel of the coffee

I love a good espresso, but the cortado really does it for me. Fun one min video- thanks!

Same! Cant really pick a favorite, its all based on the mood. Thanks for watching and the kind words Ty.

Great Video - Thanks - Cortado is the best - At restaurants if not available, I just order a double espresso with hot milk on the side :)

I normally don't make milk drinks, but when I do it's usually a cortado. The only problem I have is that I still have to steam a normal amount of milk to get the right texture (which I don't anyway, but that's because I'm still bad at steaming XD)

get a smaller pitcher for cortado etc

how ever many techniques we invent , old school coffee people need to bang their portafilter on their counter and their hands . undoing the hard work put in by those techniques. i guess bad extraction tastes nostalgic to them haha

My absolute favourite espresso drink! Looks amazing.

Boss! Loved it, you’re making art.

It looks closer to a cortado than a flat white. But the ratios with milk are rough estimates anyway.

Love Cortados! Got any tips for milk steaming so you're not left with a lot of waste? I see you're still using the Espcup after giving it a mixed review, changed your opinion?

@Sprometheus

Didn’t really change my opinion on it, it still isn’t an effective distribution tool, hence having to tap the portafilter to even the bed. But it does do a great job at creating an even grinds texture that promotes an even extraction.

Good Job Barista,👍👍👍

Lovely

What is the point in the distribution you did after you shook it up and ended up with lumps? It looked like that caused a few channels in your shot, but then the camera angle quickly changed, lol.

So, 2oz espresso w/ 2oz streamed milk?

Hey! Great video. Would you be able to help explain how to make a good Cuban. Most of the local coffee shops that I buy it from list it as sort of like this Cortado but they also add sweet condensed milk to it too. My main issue is that I don’t know how they incorporate the sweet condensed milk. I don’t want to ruin my steam wand trying to steam that and the milk together but I also am not getting successful results trying to add it individually to the espresso.

@Sprometheus

So there is a traditional Cubano that uses a moka pot and some sugar that is whipped with the first ounce or so of coffee and then poured into it. I haven't heard of condensed milk as part of the program. I did a video showing a more modern-ish style using an espresso machine. kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6GupcWbn7O9lrQ.html

@Sprometheus

In an ideal world 1:1, but the espresso yield for me varies by the coffee so often a little less espresso than milk.

I thought tapping the side of the portafilter was passé.

Too much milk for a cortado, cortar, to cut, you make a cutting motion when you pour the milk across a small cup, so thats a small amount of milk. That and some foam maybe.

4.5 oz and I'm in

So what is the difference between a Cotardo and macchiato?

@NoZenith

Жыл бұрын

Traditional Italian machiato means it's just marked. As I understand it it's a Somewhat direct translation for the word very very little milk in the espresso with some foam to mark it. Most cafes I've been to do a 2:1ratio. 2 parts espresso to one part milk. Qcortado seems to be Most cafes I've been to do a 2:1ratio. 2 parts espresso to one part milk. Qcortado seems to Be About halfway between straight espresso and a cappuccino depending on how big they tend to make their cappuccino's at the cafe is what the percentage ends up being. I've only been to a few shops in order to quartado but I thought it was supposed to be 1 to 1 but most modern shops Make it a miniature cappuccino so they can put latte art on it So visually without doing any measurements it looks a little bit closer to a one part espresso to 2 part milk . I'm in the West though so I'm talking between Grand Rapids and Detroit Michigan where I've been paying attention when I order stuff . Maybe in some areas there are a little more traditional and do the 1:1ratio for a quartado. It looks like he put a little bit more than 1 to 1 here as well

Looks like a latte
