The Cortado, meaning “cut” in Spanish, is the ideal choice for those seeking a smooth balance between milk and espresso. It’s a testament to minimalist perfection, featuring a double shot of our rich espresso cut with an equal—or near-equal—amount of warm, steamed milk. The goal is to gently mellow the espresso’s intensity without allowing the milk to dominate the flavor.
A Smooth, Pure Balance
Served in a small glass, the Cortado is a focused, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying drink. Our baristas achieve a signature velvety microfoam that integrates flawlessly with the espresso, delivering a clean finish that highlights the complex chocolate and caramel notes of our blend. It’s the perfect midday lift when you need strong flavor and a little warmth.
The Dipresso Cortado is the ultimate expression of our dedication to coffee artistry, delivering intense flavor with a refined, smooth texture.
The secret to the perfect Cortado lies in the temperature and texture of the milk. We steam it just enough to be warm and velvety, ensuring it doesn’t scald the delicate espresso. This is a drink meant to be held and enjoyed in just a few sips—it’s a focused moment of strong coffee flavor beautifully framed by milk. It’s the ideal choice when a Macchiato is too small and a Latte is too large.
