Sugar, espresso and a teaspoon: Golden Brown Coffee makes cortadito
The Cuban coffee tutorial tops three new uploads devoted to the sweeter side of coffee.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Cortadito is the richer, sweeter cousin of the cortado, and pairs perfectly with a pastry.
The first drops of espresso have a different job in Golden Brown Coffee's cortadito tutorial: they land on sugar, ready to be beaten into foam with a teaspoon. An assistant takes a turn at the vigorous stirring before the remaining espresso and an equal volume of steamed milk go in.
"It's a Cuban version of the cortado that's like a dessert," the host says. His practical warning is to keep that initial splash small: too much liquid makes the espuma watery. The finished drink gets latte art, a taste and a ring of the desk bell.
With roughly 39,000 views, it is the most-watched of the week's three new uploads. Viewers bring their own coffee histories to the conversation: one recalls a Cuban grandfather's version with evaporated milk or cream, while another remembers discovering the drink at Miami airport, then unwisely ordering two before a long flight.
Dessert runs through the other uploads too. "Not the magnum ice-cream drive-by hahha." supplies a recipe involving mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers and dark chocolate, credited to @gunaydnjournal. "Coffee desserts over everything!" follows with cream cheese, sugar and cream.
Golden Brown Coffee added about 1,000 subscribers over the week, while daily viewing is close to its usual level. ShhhhImEating had a particularly busy week among nearby food channels; Lara Cakes was quieter. Here, the strongest daily momentum belongs to the earlier pancake-flavoured iced coffee, whose butter, maple syrup and salt have carried it past half a million views.

What viewers say
A Cuban Cortadito is an espresso shot or Moka Pot shot with a splash of evaporated milk or cream. That's the way i've been drinking it since my Cuban grandfather introduced it to me in the 70s during my childhood.
@Tusc9969See it on YouTubeWent on a family vacation. In the Miami airport there was a coffee stand that was selling these. I had one and it was so delicious that when we were returning home from our trip I ordered 2 more just before getting on our plane. Bad idea. Sitting in coach for hours with 2 super sugary double shots of espresso inside. Woof.

Yum I’m making that tomorrow
@ozzy1280See it on YouTubeLately, I much prefer a cortado over my go-to cappuccino. This Cuban drink looks delicious (and I will try it), but I definitely like my coffee without sugar. #Cortadito 🙏🏾♥️☕
