I loved dark coffee, so it was a perfect blend for me. The pleasant bitter taste overwhelmed my tongue. It was an excellent shot.

In the next turn, I frothed the splash of milk and added it to the Corto coffee. I tasted it and found that the milk mellowed spicy and bitter flavors. Now the bit of earthy flavor touched my palate. My coffee was smooth and creamy; undoubtedly, it was a good and decent coffee cup.
