cortado and perrier
I’ve mentioned a bit of information on cortados before but here’s more. A cortado is a popular small-sized espresso. The balance between the espresso and milk is 1:1, (about half espresso, half milk). This amount of milk primarily serves to reduce the acidity of the espresso. It also has less froth than a latte. This one made at the Bean Cycle is 2 ounces of equal espresso and steamed milk. The other glass is Perrier water. I buy these once in a while because they have less milk than my latte, an enjoyable coffee flavor when made with good fresh beans and are less expensive. If you are adventurous enough, they can also be made with flavored syrup.

Well, I think they are enjoyable, tweak my taste buds and gives a certain ambience to a ritual in my life. Enjoy your weekend, my friend!

Interesting. Is there something customary about serving the Cortado with the Perrier, or is that just your (or their) preference? I do love sparkling water but don’t typically think of it in the morning. 🙂

The Perrier is something they do with the order. It’s actually refreshing, cleaning the palate. Give it a try.
