Cappuccino can be said to be a very picky cup of coffee, with a ratio of coffee, milk and foam at 1:1:1. A cup of espresso uses about 7g to make 45cc coffee, while a cappuccino or latte uses 60cc, so although there is a lot of milk and foam to dilute the rich feeling of coffee, the amount of coffee has not decreased at all, but increased.

(2) latte: it can be said to be a cup of coffee without burden, it can drink the warmth of milk, like a cup of milk coffee, but it has the smell of coffee when drinking milk.

(3) mocha: mocha dilutes coffee with a large amount of milk, which is a deformation of coffee, which can be said to be the most fancy kind of espresso, in which cinnamon and cocoa can be added. Mocha is no longer a simple coffee and has less foam than a latte, replaced by milk, whipped cream and chocolate.
