What is a latte?

Latte is the translation of Italian "Latte". In Italy, "Latte" is hot milk, and latte is called "Coffee Latte", which is a kind of fancy coffee. Latte is a classic blend of Italian espresso and milk. Italians also like lattes as breakfast drinks. In the Italian kitchen in the morning, coffee and milk are usually brewed on the sunlit stove. Italians who drink lattes like milk rather than espresso, and only Espresso can bring unforgettable taste to ordinary milk.

What is cappuccino coffee?

Cappuccino is translated from "Cappuccino" and its name comes from St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin) and Italian headscarf (Cappucio). The white headscarf worn by the clergy, like the white milk foam in the middle of the cappuccino, is said to be as good as its name because most priests like to drink it.
