Cappuccino (Gappuccino/Cappuccino Coffee)

At the beginning of the 20th century, when the Italian Azibucha invented the steam pressure coffee machine, he also developed cappuccino coffee. Cappuccino is an Italian coffee mixed with the same amount of Italian espresso and steamed milk. At this time, the color of coffee is like a cappuccino monk covering a dark brown coat with a headscarf, hence the name caffeine.

The traditional cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foamed milk.

The full-bodied taste of espresso, accompanied by lubricated foam; it has a hint of essence and dew. Sprinkled with foamed milk with cinnamon powder, mixed with the aroma of bottom-up Italian coffee, the new generation of coffee is fascinated by it. It has an irresistible unique charm, at first it smells good, when you drink it, you can feel the sweetness and softness of a large number of milk bubbles, and the second taste can really taste the original bitterness and richness of coffee beans. finally, when the taste stays in the mouth, you will feel more mellow and meaningful. Don't you think it's amazing that a kind of coffee can have many different unique flavors? The first mouthful always makes people feel bitter and sour, a large number of bubbles are like young people's light life, and the bursting of bubbles and that little bitterness are like a conflict between dreams and reality. Finally, after tasting the joys and sorrows of life, the sweetness of life is intoxicating. This is like a teenager in adolescence. After enjoying a childish and wonderful time, they have to face the impact of stepping into the adult world and really taste the original taste of life-in addition to sweetness and bitterness.

Difference: generally speaking, the taste of cappuccino is heavier than latte, if you are heavy, you might as well order cappuccino or dry cappuccino, if you are not used to the thick smell of coffee, you can order latte or wet cappuccino.

Latte-Italy's favorite

Italian lattes (Caffe Latte) require a small cup of Espresso and a cup of milk (150,200ml). Lattes contain more milk and less coffee, which is very different from Cappuccino. The latte is as simple as pouring nearly boiling milk into a freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk is added, and it can be freely mixed according to individual taste.

If you add some frothy cold milk to the hot milk, it becomes an American latte.

Starbucks American lattes are made in this way, with espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 65 to 75 ℃ in the middle, and cold milk foam of no more than half a centimeter.

If you do not put hot milk, but directly decorate two tablespoons of milk foam on the Italian espresso, it becomes the Machi Hadot coffee called Espresso Macchiato by the Italians.
