What is the difference between a cappuccino and a latte?

Best Answers

Cappuccino and latte (also called Caffè latte) are the two most popular Italian coffee drinks and are both prepared using hot milk. The difference is that cappuccino is prepared with less steamed or textured milk than caffe latte. In a cappuccino the total espresso and milk/foam makes up roughly 6 oz in a 12 oz drink. read more

The difference between a latte and a cappuccino is the milk content. Latte has a lot of milk, whereas cappuccino is a strong coffee. The coffee to milk ratio in a cappuccino is around 1 to 1.5, considering that foamed milk is at least double in volume compared to steamed milk. read more

It is clear then that in both cappuccino, as well as latte, the amount or shot of coffee remains the same, and the difference in taste is all due to different amounts of milk, as well as the frothed milk used in cappuccino. read more
