A cortado is espresso cut with a small amount of warm milk. It’s a Spanish drink that has become a standard order in speciality coffee shops worldwide, and it’s the drink people order when they know what they want.
That signal matters. Cortado is a word that separates the speciality market from the general one, which makes it an efficient positioning device for a cafe, a roastery, a coffee brand, or a publication. Using it says you’re in the serious end without having to claim it.
The name fits a coffee shop or small chain, a roaster, an equipment brand, a coffee education resource, or a review and guide site. The guide reading works well: people want to know where to find a properly made cortado in a given city, and nobody serves that need well.
