How to Make Perfect Cortadito Coffee at Home (WITHOUT Spending $$$)

Add the 2 teaspoons of sugar to the bottom of a pre-warmed serving glass.

Prepare a 2-ounce serving of coffee using 16 grams of ground coffee beans. This can be a double shot of espresso or brewed using a Moka pot, Aeropress, or French press.

Pour a few teaspoons of the brewed coffee into the serving glass with the sugar and stir vigorously until it gets frothy. Then add the rest of the coffee and stir gently to combine.

Steam the milk using a steam wand, milk frother, microwave and French press, or a saucepan and whisk until it reaches about 140 ℉ and is lightly foamy. Pour the steamed milk gently over the coffee.
