A cortado with soy milk is espresso softened with a small amount of steamed soy milk. It is served in a small cup and usually has a stronger coffee taste and less foam than a latte.
A cortado with soy milk is generally smaller and has less steamed milk than a flat white, so the espresso stands out more. A flat white is typically served with a larger amount of finely textured milk.
Pull a shot of espresso, warm soy milk until hot but not boiling, then pour in enough to soften the coffee without making a thick layer of foam. Barista-style soy milk usually steams more smoothly than ordinary soy milk.
Yes, a cortado with soy milk contains caffeine from its espresso; soy milk itself does not add caffeine. The amount varies with the number and type of espresso shots, so a late-day cortado may affect sleep if you are caffeine-sensitive.
Soy milk can split in a cortado when coffee acidity and heat cause its proteins to clump. Use barista-style soy milk, avoid overheating it, and pour it gently into the espresso to reduce the chance of curdling.
Not exactly. Soy milk can add a mild beany or naturally sweet note and may feel different from dairy milk. The flavor and texture vary by brand, while the espresso remains more prominent than it would in a latte.
Not necessarily. A cortado with soy milk has no added sweetener unless one is requested, but some soy milks are sweetened. Ask for unsweetened soy milk and skip flavored syrups if you want a less sweet drink.
Yes, latte art is possible in a cortado with soy milk, especially with barista-style soy milk that steams into fine, stable foam. The small serving size and the soy milk’s texture can make detailed designs harder than with dairy milk.
It often tastes stronger than a latte because a cortado contains less milk relative to its espresso. That does not necessarily mean it has more caffeine; caffeine depends mainly on the espresso used in each drink.
Yes, but espresso can trigger heartburn or stomach discomfort in some people, including when served with soy milk. If that happens to you, try having the cortado with food or choosing a less concentrated coffee.

Cortado with soy milk is a plant-based take on the Spanish cortado: espresso softened with a small amount of milk, here made from soy rather than dairy. The result keeps the coffee’s roasted character while rounding off its sharper edge, with a smooth, lightly creamy texture.
It is usually served in a small cup at cafés, often as a mid-morning or after-meal coffee. You can enjoy it plain or pair it with a biscuit or a piece of dark chocolate. It is a modest-energy coffee drink, with 27 calories per 100 g, and provides a little protein from the soy milk. For a less sweet cup, choose unsweetened soy milk; adjust the amount to make the espresso taste more or less prominent.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
