In Spain, a popular way to enjoy coffee is by ordering a “café cortado.” This term refers to an espresso shot with a small amount of steamed milk, which cuts through the strong flavor of the espresso, making it smoother.
This drink is a staple in Spanish coffee culture, offering a balanced taste that’s less intense than a straight espresso but still rich and flavorful. The café cortado is typically served in small cups, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate a milder coffee experience without sacrificing the richness of espresso.
To order it, you would say, “Me puede poner un café cortado, por favor.”
