Would this be cortado or cappuccino?


I found this glass that I like, and was wondering – would this be best for cortado or cappuccino in regards to size – it isn't possible for me to measure the volume it can hold.

    Flat white? Seems a bit too big for a true cortado

    I‘d say that‘s approx. 150ml so that would be perfect for a flat white.

    That looks like between 170-200ml (6-7oz). Probably a cap. A cortado is usually 120ml (4oz). My cups are all 150ml (5oz) and I call mine flat whites.

    Would think you’d want something around 100ml for cartado

    I mean.. the rules aren’t that strict or even agreed upon. Could be a long cortado or a short cap, but it does look about right for a flat white. Although in au/nz that’s often the same size cup as a cap anyway! If you like them just get them! Adjusting the coffee dose can also be done to match a slightly off milk volume..

    Update: bought them and they’re perfect for a flat white (160ml). A drink I somehow forgot existed even though it’s my go to at cafés.

    Doesn’t matter.

    All these names are completely arbitrary.

    It looks more like a “who cares put the drink you like in it” to me

    Can I say I reaaaaally hate glass cups without handles. I am not sure if you want me to drink it or not. You certainly don’t want me to drink it hot.

    It looks a bit big to me for a cortado, more like a flat white sized cup 6-8 oz

    that would be a Gibraltar. pretty much a cortado made with a double shot served in that style glass.

    edit: i love this sub. where else can you get down voted so regularly for posting the correct answer for some unknown reason?

    Are you at the Libby Glass Factory outlet store in Toledo, OH? If so I was there a month ago. Amazing glass warehouse

    Cortado. Cappuccino in at least an 8oz cup, preferably in a 12oz , and even 16oz.

    Any glass is a cortado glass if you’re brave enough.
