The Cappuccino cup is small and the Caffe Latte cup is large. The Cappuccino is usually filled with a short ceramic cup and a higher mug for a latte. The amount of "Espresso" espresso made from an Italian coffee machine is fixed, and a large cup and a small cup means that more milk is added. The Cappuccino cup is small, so the coffee taste of Cappuccino is heavier than that of Caffe Latte because Cappuccino adds less milk.
