A cortadito is usually served in a special glass, often with a metal ring base and a metal wire handle. The cortadito in Cuba specifically implies a small beverage similar to the café solo corto consisting of a standard 30 mL (1 US fl oz) espresso shot however, unlike the solo corto, the Cuban cortadito is generally cut with heated sweetened condensed milk, being a more available preserved form of milk, whereas fresh milk was historically often unavailable. The café cortado may in fact be interchangeable with the Italian macchiato or similar to the French noisette. In Spain a café solo corto is a small amount of black coffee (usually a single shot of espresso), while a café cortado is an espresso with a splash of milk, while the term cortado is itself broadly associated with various coffee or espresso beverages having been "cut" with milk.
