features

Cut coffee is, by definition, an espresso with a splash of milk to soften its flavor and lower the degree of bitterness of the coffee. This drink is consumed worldwide, being the most popular form of coffee preparation around the globe. In Cuba and Puerto Rico it is called “cortadito”, while in Venezuela it is called “brown” so as not to confuse it with espresso without milk, which they call “black coffee”. In other countries it is called “macchiato” respecting the original name of Italy, its country of origin.

If you use a 60 ml cup for this recipe, the standard is adjusted to 40 ml of coffee, 10 ml of milk and 8 gm of sugar (standard to serve 58 ml).

To serve

It is served in a ceramic cup of about 150 cc, ideal for heat retention. In some places, experts baristas create art latte to pouring the milk correctly cremated to the steam in the coffee espresso, making designs, such as apples , hearts, leaves and roses.

Varieties

In Catalan and Valencian it is called tallat and in Basque ebaki. In other countries it is called “macchiato”, taking the original name of Italy .

Gibraltar

The name Gibraltar originated in San Francisco , California , where roasters – first Blue Bottle Coffee Company, then Ritual Coffee Roasters and others – started the cut trend by serving the drink at the Libbey Glass Company glassware of the same name.

While sliced ​​is a broader term for many sliced ​​drinks, gibraltar is specifically defined in its proportions by the limitations of its cup size: a Libbey ‘Gibraltar’ glass contains 4.5 oz. Of which 2 oz. Is filled by double espresso standard and the rest is filled with a well integrated micro foam. It was developed as a profile drink readily available for immediate consumption, and is typically identifiable by those cut by having a richer, more velvety texture and a cooler, warmer temperature.

Piccolo

In Australia it is known as a piccolo latte, or simply a piccolo. This is a single shot of ristretto in a macchiato glass that is filled with steamed milk in the same way as a café con leche.

A larger drink, popular in Portugal , is the galão, which uses 1: 3 ratios, but is similar to cut and stained.
