Fancy coffee, also known as milk coffee, is a coffee drink mixed with milk and espresso, which is the favorite of many coffee fans. Fancy coffee is slowly evolved from espresso, some of which look almost the same, making it difficult for some people who are new to coffee to tell the difference between a latte and a cappuccino.

Let's learn how to distinguish between a cappuccino and a latte.

The word LATTE is Italian, literally translated to mean milk, so it can also be understood that LATTE is not equal to coffee. There are several lattes on the market that do not contain a drop of coffee, such as matcha latte and black tea latte. They do not contain coffee, but they must contain milk. So the correct name should be CAFF é LATTE.

Appearance difference

The ingredients of cappuccino and latte are similar, both are ESPRESSO+ milk + milk foam, the difference is that cappuccino has more milk foam than milk, latte has more milk than milk foam, and some cappuccinos use double ESPRESSO. The cappuccino at the same price is usually smaller than the latte, with a stronger coffee flavor, and the collision between dense milk foam and bitter coffee is excellent; the reason why the latte is bigger than the cappuccino is that it contains more milk than the cappuccino, and the coffee taste is lighter than the cappuccino. but its silky taste and beautiful latte art has also won the favor of many people.

Making difference

When making cappuccinos, short and wide porcelain cups are usually used. In addition, the cappuccino milk foam should be higher than the edge of the cup, appear full, smooth, shake the cup left and right will not spill coffee, while the latte only needs a thin layer of foam, more importantly, taste the smooth taste of milk coffee.

With regard to the foam cabbage, the milk needs to be thickened, and the latte needs to be turned into thin foam, which requires more skill, requiring good fluidity, glossy surface and enough consistency.

Taste difference

Both cappuccino and latte have foam, and both require a lot of foam. Cabo has a lot of foam. When drinking, it is recommended to drink some foam together with the liquid in the ground. Milk and coffee mixed with thick milk bubbles fill your mouth with super happiness.

Latte has less foam and more milk, the overall feeling is that the milk flavor is heavy, the latte is a bit like milk with coffee flavor, because there is no very thick milk foam, so there is no very dense feeling.

Lattes and cabs are sweeter.

Since both cappuccinos and lattes are made from pure milk, there is not much difference in sweetness. Lattes are relatively thinner than cappuccinos, so lattes are generally slightly sweeter than cappuccinos. So friends who like to drink more sweetly can choose lattes.

I believe that after reading these two kinds of coffee, you will know how to distinguish between cappuccino and latte the next time you go to the cafe. Both types of coffee are favorites of coffee fans. I don't know which one you will like better.
