Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just got the best writeup from an academic trying to be accessible. My favorite part:
(The independent coffee shop is an everyday sign of the zeitgeist: while a barista prepares each cortado with sensory care, patrons compose digitally on their laptops.)
OK, I know what most of that means, but what's a cortado?
Some fancy coffee??
I have googled and I don't think I really need to know. That is not a fancy drink I need to try.
I have Maria. All your Maria are belong to me.
I should probably see the first one, then.
A cortado is espresso with a shot of milk. Like a teeny little very strong latte.

Don't bogart the Maria, man.
But also: have fun! Call if you need bail money.

My googling was telling me that the milk is steamed but not foamed,or maybe micro-foamed, whatever that means, as distinct from a macchiato (which I always think I like because I like the way the word sounds when what I actually like is espresso con panna (or affogato which is both fun to say and to eat/drink)) which one site mentioned as being basically a tiny latte, unless I read that all wrong which is always possible and also I don't care very much. Hopefully this information, accurate or not, will not shove something important out of my memory buffer.
I've been reluctant to try a macchiato, since I always conflate it with Ralph Macchio, or his works.
