A cortado is similar to a latte, but instead of being heavy on milk, it uses equal parts espresso and milk and has no foam on top.
Ingredients
- Ground espresso for a single shot
- ¼ cup milk (dairy or nondairy)
Preparation
- Brew a single espresso into a small heatproof cup.
- Put the milk into the Frothing Pitcher. If using the EM-160, turn the Steam/Hot Water Knob to the ON position and press the STEAM button.
- Using the Steam/Hot Water Wand, steam the milk until the foam has almost reached the top of the pitcher and you can feel that the milk is quite hot. Tap the pitcher a few times to remove any larger bubbles.
- Slowly pour 1½ to 2 ounces of the steamed milk into the mug with the espresso.
- Serve immediately.
