What is the piccolo coffee ratio?
A Piccolo is essentially a baby latte. It’s a ristretto shot, topped with warm milk in a demitasse (miniature latte glass). It has a higher milk to espresso ratio (1:2 or 1:3) than either a macchiato or a cortado, but because it’s made with a ristretto shot, it still has good coffee flavor. A Piccolo Latte is a single ristretto shot 15ml -20ml topped with warm silky milk served in a 90ml glass or ceramic cup. A flat white is prepared in a 200-220ml ceramic cup with a 30ml shot of espresso then topped with steamed milk. In cafes serving specialty coffee you may get a flat white in a 150-180ml.
