Three Coffee Drinks You Might Not Have Heard Of

[@adamkane4217]

what is this a latte for ants?? (jk the cortado is a vibe)

[@billexley2148]

I've never seen the cream color before. Nice!

[@amydermott6]

Looks like you have a new espresso machine.... But the studio looks amazing. So happy for you. Can't wait to keep learning from you!! ♥️

[@BBKing1977]

Two things have changed: 1. New espresso machine 2. Fewer beans left in the hopper 😉

[@vesnasavanovic4030]

... and the plants on the shelf :)

[@jfess1911]

Decades ago when I worked in Morocco, I would order something that translated into "half, half" to get a drink similar to the Cortado. They were served in a simple drinking glass, which occasionally broke when the hot liquids were added.

[@roytromb_strength]

I do want more videos about Cortados. It is my go to drink everywhere I go and at home. I’d love to learn more. Thanks.

[@DaveCaolo]

The cortado is my go-to and I hesitate to stray, but your recent videos have got me curious.

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

To be fair, the cortado is an excellent choice

[@rohanlg790]

I live in Sydney Australia and the piccolo is my go to drink when I don’t want a lot of milk. It’s DELICIOUS!

[@connorlay9767]

I don’t drink any coffee but I love your content and it just chills me out. You’re a beautiful human, thank you

[@kyoohki]

I was just looking this up today. I love getting cortados, but my local coffeeshop serves gibraltars. Now I know. Thank you!

[@BiO811HazarD]

Love watching your new studio come together. Once it’s all set, I’d love some overview videos discussing the products you’re using now and what you like/dislike about them (looking at your new Lelit specifically..)

[@vanesapolakova1720]

I finally learnt how to steam milk properly very recently and learning about coffee is even more fun when I can make it by myself. I found out that cortado exists thanks to this video and after trying it out at work today I can tell pretty confidently that I have my new favourite. 😊❤

[@mariediamond9741]

Cortados are my favorite! Thanks for highlighting this oft forgotten cousin of the latte & cappuccino.

[@dreamvisionary]

When I visited Portugal I didn't see cortado in any of the cafes I visited. I think the closest is garoto, but the most common short coffee after a straight espresso was a Café pingado, which is an espresso with a splash of cold milk.

[@BrilliantWhenYouGlow]

Good info! We are visiting Portugal in July and I’m curious about their coffee culture!

[@ChocolatTherapy]

yes!! or "Pingo" in Porto specifically. This is how i learned to love and appreciate coffee with milk hehe

[@domlisboa4024]

That’s because cortado is a Spanish word. In Portugal it’s pingado because that’s a Portuguese word. Whilst the Portuguese love to use English words thankfully they are sticking with their own beautiful language for their coffee drinks

[@Yumyumcoffee784]

And getting to this comment I’m confused. I just came back from Portugal, going no farther south than Porto. I drank many a café Meia leité, that is half coffee half milk and looks to be about the same volume as Morgan’s cortodo. My sister (who lives there now) drank café pingo (aka pingado) was indeed espresso with a splash of milk ( thought it was steamed but not sure) and much smaller volume. I didn’t see a garato listed; wonder if that’s more regional. Regardless, I really enjoyed what I drank.

[@domlisboa4024]

@@Yumyumcoffee784 meia de leite is bigger than the cortado shown in this video and that is served in the UK and Nordics. And yes the pingado that you had is the absolute equivalent of the Spanish cortado from Spain.

[@phoenixrising4609]

I’m a wanna be coffee connoisseur but with an H20 budget. LOVE your vids, easy understandable explanations of drinks I’d love to try/make one day, and your beautiful new espresso machine! The color combo is stunning. Thank you so much for your interesting coffee history and introducing me to this wonderful world of a beverage that I simply cannot live without! 😊

[@BonsaiBlacksmith]

Thank you Morgan, the Cortado is my favorite way to prepare my coffee, i am so frustrated when people look at me with three heads when I order it.

[@terri_loves_plants5799]

Yes the piccolo! I visited Australia and discovered that wonderful coffee drink ❤❤ It was dusted with cocoa powder. 🥰 I miss it. 😢

[@AromaticAdmirers]

Thx for making a video about the Cortado! It’s my favorite drink!

[@jimbo386]

Intersting facts... first time hearing about the gibraltar. Also, that coffee machine looks nice!

[@fkcoolers2669]

Cortado has been my go-to espresso drink for around 5 years or maybe even a bit longer. I drink coffee for its flavor and not for its caffeine, so I love getting one of these after lunch and slow sipping it.

[@LuccaAce]

I'm not a huge coffee connoisseur, so I'd never heard of a cortado before. I did just check that my favorite local coffee shop has it, so I know what I'm getting next time I go by there!

[@twilafreek25]

I love cortados they're delicious and I love how prominent the espresso still is

[@FatNorthernBigot]

The coffee shots on this channel look phenomenal. I've now had to turn on my Mozzafiato, just so I can make one. It's 8.24pm, here in the UK and the machine takes half an hour to heat up. I guess sleep is for the weak. 😉

[@PawelWojtach]

I love this set up! Since you upgraded I'm hoping for an espresso machine video.

[@notaword1136]

Yeaaassssss!! The cortado is easily my favorite drink! It's great for still enjoying the characterful coffees I love to drink, at least when I don't want the full intensity of espresso atm

[@Viniter]

You know what this studio needs? Some kind of really divisive clock!

[@craigrwc]

The lighting in your studio is delightful! The other day I had a cortado at a coffee shop and I'm pretty sure what I was given was more of a macchiato. I mostly remember them spooning on some milk foam. It was ok.

[@TheErador]

Yuck. I'm not a fan of much milk foam at all.

[@teruokun-us]

I’m a big Cortado fan to reliably get the equivalent of a small and significantly espresso-forward latte. If it’s on the menu, I prefer it over an espresso macchiato (which I learned how to unambiguously order from this channel) because it varies between specialty coffee shops between purely foam and a mix of both foam and steamed milk, which are both arguably “correct” depending on your date of definition. I hadn’t realized a piccolo latte was only a single shot! Once again, thanks for all the great well-researched info

[@al200604]

Live in Malaysia, piccolo do be here. Loved this, thanks, Morgan!

[@monicalifornia_]

Congrats on the studio. I loved it when you sat at work and just chatted it up but this is an amazing entrepreneurial move.

[@brad571]

Cortado's are my go to for coffee at home. I love them!!

[@gemmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Omg yes please, I’d love another video explaining even more!

[@rocketsfancheif]

Thanks for the piccolo info. I just thought that's what they called cortado in new Zealand.

[@dirkl216]

The cortado is my favorite. I usually alternate between a double espresso and a double ristretto for the drink depending on the roast of my beans and the type of milk (whole, 2%, oat or almond etc)👍🏾👍🏾☕️

[@simondockerty6476]

Love a Cortado but hooked on Flat Whites at the moment.

[@GautierSeguinMusic]

Haha i just made a coffee, i try the cortado and maybe it will become my new favorite one :D

[@rentedroom]

Cortados are my fav, however I've noticed a trend (across multiple cities) where places make it as a 2/2.5 oz drink vs the 4ish oz drink you describe here. Some places even have tiny to-go cups for thing.

[@Tesla_Coffee_Tech]

Hey, Morgan. Saw your message from the "Brew Crew" IG chat!😊

[@morgandrinkscoffee]

Hey hey!

[@gdp3rd]

Morgan -- I know you're a fan of milk drinks, but have you ever done a video on coffee with a shot of espresso, aka "red eye coffee"? I looked and didn't see one. Haters gonna hate, but there are times when it is my preferred coffee drink, and I've collected names for them that different cafés use. I've seen them called A Shot in the Dark, AA Boilermaker, All-nighter, Better than Coke, Black Eye, Black Fandango, Bull Dog, By-passes, Canadiano, Coffee Suicide, Cup o' Crack, Dead Man Walking, Depth Charge, Eclectic Witch Water, Early Shirley, Eye Opener, Grunder, Hammerhead, KickintheAsspresso, Lazarus, Mad Max, Morning Face Maker, Overdrive, Redeye, Train Wreck, and Zap or Zappo.

[@chia-yiliu9114]

this video came at the perfect time. i was going to spend part of my weekend hunting down a piccolo to try but now that i understand the ratio better, i think i’ll stick to my cortados.

[@shattered_helix]

I would love to see a video going over the difference between using a flavored syrup and milk versus using a flavored creamer in what your views and suggestions on both are.

[@violette91]

This si the Best of the Best coffe video facts I've ver seen ❤❤

[@pacouranga]

I work for a cafe that also serves Aussie-style pies, ANZAC biscuits, and so on, and now I can't wait to hit up the boss to put Piccolo lattes on the board.

The cortado is my favorite way to enjoy espresso. By the way, your Lelit looks lit!

[@lovealwaysmom]

@morgandrinkscoffee I enjoy your channel. The enthusiasm and passion you bring to KZbin. Especially on those wet and dreary Portland days. Born and raised. I do enjoy a good rain storm. I have a few questions 1 - "At the end of the day" what happens to all your experiments/testing drinks and coffee grounds? 2 - I use the pour over method. I also like espresso based drinks. How do I go about making a good espresso? 3 - Have you ever been to the La Provence Boulangerie & Patisserie in LO? I been there once, delicious. If so, what coffee drinks, both alcoholic and virgin would you recommend? TY in advance.

[@Coffeedisciple_tube]

The coffee looks amazing and so are the snickers talk of perfect pair 💯😊

[@firbolg]

I usually get a double espresso macchiato but now I might get a cortado instead. Great upload!

[@mikecoffee100]

nooo wayyy I just tried a Cortado yesterday and it was very good, a local shop was advertising on Face Book so I tried it.

[@andrewrutherford2352]

Cortado in Morocco is called a Nous Nous and is about 50% bigger but still based as 50 /50 esperesso and milk. the size makes it a perfect drink

[@chipkormas2840]

Nice new machine. A step up from the Silvia😊

[@MrNavyellis]

It’s either the pretty green plants…..or it’s the Leleit Bianca…not sure which we’re talking about but I do love me a cortado. I keep trying shots of espresso at coffee shops and they’re all…super bitter or astringent to me… is that because I’m used to milky drinks or is it because they’re not making them right? Or maybe it’s because I’m a big baby… either way, keep up the awesome work, love your videos!

[@Jevongen]

I very much enjoy a cortado or macchiato. I don't blame you at all for finishing that on screen. ps. love your content.

As much as I enjoy you talking, I'm really liking the process sequences without talking getting a little more time to unfold without quick edits.

[@DancingSpacePotato]

Best cortado I’ve ever had was at Keeper. Crazy delicious pastries, too. I miss PDX

[@escapewmusic3]

Very similar drink in terms of size to a cortado (but with a totally different temperature experience) is an undertow. I used to make them when I was a barista before clocking in for my evening shift and never failed to get me going 😂. Love to see your thoughts on the oddity of the drink.

[@escapewmusic3]

By the way, totally jealous of that espresso machine and your new setup overall.

[@loganbeck5028]

Cortados are probably my favorite of the espresso drinks. I didn’t know the name of the Piccolo latte, but that has been my roommate and I’s go to “it’s later and we want coffee but not too much” drink

[@rickkent6314]

Nice, Cortado is has been my goto for a while now,(although I cant get away from adding sugar, sorry). I buy green beans, roast them myself and make a blend (3 different beans) that I like, but I'm no Barista, What is with the transferring the steamed milk between jugs? not seen that before.

[@P2Z_ColdBeans]

Cortadooooo. Hah I always just think of it as a cappuccino without foam. Idk about the actual ratios but it's just what it mostly tastes like and is easier to say to non-coffee people. x.x

[@henhaooahneh]

[@Skye-zo6ew]

This was a great video! I work in a Cafe in Australia and a regular customer likes his piccolo... turns out he's asking for a Cortado 😂

[@halcyonacoustic7366]

I had a few good piccolos in London. Lunga shots are underrated.

[@dabblelicious]

I haven’t heard of Cortado and have never seen it in Australia. I just realised that I’ve been trying to order one this whole time by asking for a small long mac half topped!

[@domlisboa4024]

Yes the cortado originated in Spain and as you say the verb means cut. But this cortado isn’t a cut it’s a flood. And that’s why in the majority of cases in Spain much much less milk is used in a cortado than shown in this video. In many places a cortado will be in volume more like a macchiato but with no foam. Most of the cortados that I see outside of Spain would be called cafe con leche in Spain because too much milk is used. My feeling is that baristas invented the non-Spanish cortado as a way for coffee shops to be able to sell more types of coffee and not confuse customers with a Macchiato.

[@sierakelley4705]

I definitely use the cortado to gauge a café 😂 I also really enjoy it

[@williamwest3594]

I was introduced to gibralters in Reno, NV. Loved getting them at this one shop partly because each person making the thing made it differently; earthier, smoother, sharper, etc. Every time was a slightly different experience. Listening to you, I think I've been getting more a piccolo than gibralter because I've always gotten one shot of espresso. Now I'm living in CC, NV and found a place that serves gibralters, but they make me sad. I will order one with only one shot of espresso and see if that brings be caffeinated joy.

[@annescholten9313]

The studio looks great.😊

[@TheLadyBlerd]

8:06 tbh first heard Piccolo from an animated Japanese tv show and comic series... and the creator named his favorite character in the series this because (as lore says) it sounded like pickle.... then again he probably knew of the instrument too... wonder if the creator enjoyed the drink, too... thanks Morgan imma go make one right now and wax nostalgic over that man's work. RIP Akira Toriyama

[@gennyquevillon1716]

I was going to say, I know a piccolo is a small flute, but to me, the character from Dragon Ball will always come to my mind first lol RIP Toriyama-sensei... 😞

[@fuzziestlumpkin]

I always assumed that Picolo was called that because he was a cast off part.Much like a Picolo is half the size of a flute, or a quarter of a bottle of wine, Picolo was only half a person. Maybe I over thought it, but I prefer my explanation to "it sounds like pickle" if I'm honest haha.

[@TheLadyBlerd]

@@fuzziestlumpkin ...you're right and this was not lost on me, as to why referenced "as lore says" of certain naming conventions throughout the series... my comment was written intentionally generalized due to the fact this is a content section of video on making coffees, where figured a light cross over reference would relate to a couple folks and it looks like it did... yet to the specificity of your comment... "He probably knew of the instrument too" I was referencing the fact that King Piccolo's henchmen were also given instrument names without launching into IP canon that most folks aren't going to relate to out of context - - nevertheless the lore referenced here isn't looking at strict canon, rather describing how given DBZ blew up as an anime faster than as a manga AND the introduction of food based names, the romanji-esque examples being Kakarot = Carrot, Vegeta = Vegtable, Raditz = Radish, etc ...even Gohan means "rice" . It's important to keep in mind that although chronologically Dragon Ball came first... the foundational canon of IP didn't become popular until after DBZ was internationally syndicated, so that's how the memetic of "pickle-o" emerged over the less popular details of the prior series.

[@ayb1470]

Also, you could do some green screen and mocap of yourself sliding, flying, parachuting, teleporting, etc into the scene. Scotty - no time to waste, beam our barista straight from the cafe to here!

[@icowrich]

I've noticed that a lot of cortado orders will pair the drink with a 4 ounce glass of sparkling water. Here in Texas, that usually means Topo Chico. Maybe as a pallet cleanser?

[@jacobmotionmedia]

At my cafe, we make something like the piccolo but the espresso, being lavazza super crema, kinda makes the drink taste like a cortado. So thats what we call it. 1 shot instead of two in a four and half oz cup

[@LaurenRicciardella]

I'm relatively new to your channel. Do you have any video that goes into the details on how you pour your milk? I've never seen the process of using two milk cups and pouring from one to the other. Thanks!
