Instructions:
Prepare Espresso with the Espresso Machine - Set aside.
Warm your milk in the microwave using the Milk Pitcher (120-140°F, about 45 seconds).
With your Milk Frother, whisk the milk. Make it slightly frothy, but not as foamy as a cappuccino.
With your Measuring Glass, measure and pour the espresso into the Cortado Glass.
The ideal Cortado is equal parts espresso and milk, so aim for about 2 ounces of milk.
Add the milk to the Cortado Glass with a spoon, or use the Measuring Glass to measure the milk before pouring.
If desired, top with sugar or sweetener to taste. Stir or not stir.
Enjoy!
