description Costa Coffee Cortado Overview
Costa Coffee Cortado is a small espresso-based drink consisting of espresso combined with a modest amount of warm milk. The milk softens the espresso’s acidity and bitterness while leaving a relatively concentrated coffee flavor, so the drink is smaller and less milk-heavy than a latte. The name and style derive from the Spanish cortado, a drink whose name refers to coffee being cut with milk.
