Cappuccino versus Latte

What is the Difference Between Cappuccino and Latte?


When to Use Cappuccino

Cappuccino is a noun. A cappuccino is a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk.

A classic cappuccino is roughly one part espresso to two parts foamy milk. In practice, many baristas mix the drink as one part espresso, one part steamed milk, and one part milk foam, since creating foamy milk is an exacting and difficult process.

Here are some examples of cappuccino in a sentence,

  • With a milk steamer, you can create perfect cappuccinos from the comfort of your own kitchen.
  • Andy ordered a vanilla cappuccino while he waited for his date to arrive.

    When to Use Latte

    Latte is also a noun, and a latte is also a coffee drink made with espresso and steamed milk.

    The difference between a latte and a cappuccino is in the proportion of espresso to milk. In a cappuccino, the ratio is roughly one part espresso to two parts foamy milk. The ratio of espresso to milk in a latte is roughly one to three, and may contain much less foam.

    Here are some examples,

  • A person could order a latte at any of thousands of cafes in America and receive a similar drink.
  • The latte has become symbolic of urban elitism in some circles.

    Summary

    Is it latter or cappuccino? Cappuccino and latte are loanwords from Latin that refer to specialty coffee drinks.

    A cappuccino is roughly on part espresso to two parts foamed milk.
    A latte is typically one part espresso to three parts milk.
