I've found it to be challenging to create nice latte art for my cortados. Even when I go to a nice cafe I rarely get anything better than a little heart or blob with my cortado. The exception was breaking wave coffee in Sarasota where I got a beautiful cortado.
I actually measure my milk each time and I use 65g of milk with 30-45 grams of espresso depending on which profile I'm using.
Here's an example of the best I've been able to do.
Would love to see what others are able to do with a small amount of textured milk.

The last cortado I had in a cafe was as big as what I call a cappuccino. It was in a glass, but I'm certain it was at least 6 oz -- hardly a challenge. The glasses I use at home are definitely 4 oz. So there's not much room left after pulling the shot.
So, those of you who have posted here -- what size glasses are you using?

The Duralex Picardie gets recommended a lot on here. I got the Libbey Cortado glasses because I liked the sharper angles. I like them as they seem pretty versatile and have a nice heavy weight. However I tend to like porcelain for my drinks so I'm always thinking of getting something else.
