The difference between latte and cappuccino

Cappuccino and Caffe Latte latte are the two best-known coffee, the two ingredients are basically the same, both belong to Italian coffee, but there are many coffee lovers can not tell the difference between the two.

In fact, the main differences between Cappuccino cappuccino and Caff è Latte latte are as follows:

1. Similarities and differences of ingredients

The ingredients of cappuccino and latte are exactly the same: milk, coffee and Espresso, except that cappuccino foam accounts for at least half of the total cup, while latte foam should not exceed 10% of the total cup. In other words, cappuccino is mainly milk foam, latte is milk-based.

2. Similarities and differences in appearance.

Cappuccino milk foam should be higher than the edge of the cup, and appear full, smooth, shake the cup left and right will not spill coffee; latte is only a thin layer of foam, generally flush with the mouth of the cup. 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.

3. Similarities and differences of taste

Cappuccino will have a very thick taste, coffee will be heavier, while the latte will have a stronger milk flavor, coffee flavor will be relatively light.

A qualified Cappuccino should be covered with thick milk foam and a circle of coffee liquid on the side of the cup. You can sprinkle a little cocoa or cinnamon on the surface when drinking. Caffe Latte is less than milk foam and only needs to float a layer on the surface. The so-called "latte art" refers to the pattern formed on the surface when the steamed milk is poured into the "espresso" espresso. In the process of pouring milk into espresso, a variety of creative patterns can be made by shaking the wrist; and each cup of "latte art" is different, this is the charm of "latte art".
