Red Squirrel 2 Sep 9:03pm, 2 Sep 2024 24,294 posts	0 Red Squirrel I now live in Moray and coffee in Elgin is fine, but cortado is not really a thing. I’ve had Americano with hot milk on the side and flat whites. I heard someone get told off for serving me a cortado last week, as it wasn’t on the menu. I felt bad and it was a shame, as the cortado was really good.
