What's the real difference between latte and cappuccino?

Answer 1

In this country(uk), cappuccino is a serving of espresso (about 2 ounces) with essentially similar amounts of milk and a rather stiff milk foam. Caffè latte is a serving of espresso with about three times as much milk, topped with a short head of foam. So a latte is milder and has a milkier taste.

Answer 2

They share the same ingredients (milk and coffee), the difference is latte (in Italy is caffelatte) is prepared with mocha coffee while cappuccino has coffee espresso. In Italy, bars serve cappuccino, you won't find caffelatte, if you ask for a latte macchiato they serve you a similar drink though. Caffelatte is what most Italians without an espresso machine have for breakfast as most family have a coffee pot at home. Cappuccino has a much better taste than caffelatte.
There is no other ingredient but milk and coffee, if you ask the barman for powdered chocolate over your cappuccino he'll add this ingredient, otherwise it's not part of the recipe.

The most natural and healthy diet for humans is an omnivorous diet, and not a plant based diet, or a meat-based diet per se. The Paleo Diet can be very widely varied and omnivorous for the most part, but the most important thing is that it’s unprocessed, and avoids the worst foods that agriculture brought mankind… refined inflammatory vegetable oils, refined grains (some are worse than others), and sugar!

As you can see, the benefits of adopting a Paleo way of eating can be incredible! I’ve been eating 95% Paleo for the last 5-6 years and I’ve never felt better. I have dozens of friends that have adopted a more Paleo way of eating too, and have seen all sorts of health problems disappear, including eliminating acne and other skin problems, digestion problems, improving brain clarity, and of course, losing a lot of body fat!

Quick summary: cappuccino is one-third coffee, one-third steamed milk, one-third foam. Latte is the same amount of coffee as a cappuccino, then filled up with steamed milk and only a touch of foam on the top.

Answer 5

Latte (IPA: [ˈlaʔte], anglicised as IPA: /ˈlɑː(ˌ)teɪ/, according to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary) is Italian for milk. In English-speaking countries it usually refers to one of several types of coffee beverages made with hot milk. In Italian these are known as "caffe e latte" (commonly "caffellatte"), literally "coffee and milk", analogous to (but not the same as) the French "café au lait", and latte macchiato which is very similar.

As the term has come to be used in much of the world outside Italy since the early 1980s, a latte is prepared with approximately one third espresso and two-thirds steamed milk. Thus it has more milk than a cappuccino, and has a milder, milkier taste. Some say lattes should be prepared by pouring milk and coffee simultaneously, from either side of the drinking vessel.

A latte can be differentiated between a cappuccino and a flat white by the proportion of milk to froth. A latte is recognised as having about one-third espresso and one centimetre of froth exhibiting latte art, with the remainder of the beverage being steamed milk. A cappuccino will hold about one-third froth, one-third steamed milk and one third espresso. A flat white will hold no froth, with the serving container filled about one-third espresso and the rest with steamed milk.

The evolution of this term (and this particular form of the beverage) is relatively recent and probably dates from the spread of the 1980s Seattle coffee craze to the rest of the United States (and beyond) via the growth of Seattle-based Starbucks. Some cafés create designs in frothed milk atop a latté.

As recently as 1980, if you ordered a "latte" in an Italian
Cappuccino is a large Italian beverage prepared with espresso and foamy steamed milk. A cappuccino differs from a cafe latte, which is mostly milk and little foam.

In Italy, cappuccino is generally consumed early in the day as part of a light breakfast, with croissant, better known for Italians as cornetto. Generally Italians do not drink cappuccino with meals other than breakfast; however, it is a very common habit, in Italy, to have a cappuccino and croissant after a night out, even if it is about time to go to bed. In other countries it is consumed throughout the day or after dinner.

Besides a quality shot of espresso, the most important element in preparing a cappuccino is the texture and temperature of the milk. When a barista steams the milk for a cappuccino, he or she creates microfoam by introducing very tiny bubbles of air into the milk, giving the milk a velvety texture and sweetness. In some places, skilled baristas create latte art when pouring properly steamed milk into the espresso, making designs such as apples, hearts, leaves, rosettes, and corporate logos.

A cappuccino is generally defined as 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk. Another definition would call for 1/3 espresso and 2/3 microfoam. The "iced cappuccino" (or cappuccino "Freddo") beverage is somewhat of a misnomer since there is no way to duplicate the foam on top of the hot beverage, but the term is nevertheless widely spread in some Mediterranean countries where ice is added before the foam. Espresso and cold milk on ice is called an iced caffelatte, while an espresso macchiato is a shot of espresso "stained" with a dollop of milk foam.

A cappuccino is ideally prepared in a ceramic coffee cup, which has far better heat retention characteristics than glass or paper.

Cappuccino was a taste largely confined to Europe and the more cosmopolitan regions of North America, until the mid-1990s when cappuccino was made much more widely available to North Americans, as part of the new upscale coffee bar chains with a consciously created "European" ambience (such as Starbucks).

By the first years of the 21st century a modified version of cappuccino was being served by the McDonald's fast-food chain. Tim Hortons, a large Canadian coffee and doughnut chain, began serving cappuccino in the 1990s, but achieved greater success with flavoured cappuccino and, more notably, iced cappuccino. Upon her release from prison, Karla Homolka was asked what the first thing was she planned to do once leaving prison: "This is stupid. I'd like to have an iced cappuccino. An iced cappuccino from Tim Hortons, that's what I'd like to do." [1]

Nothing really, ones served in a taller cup. The other has chocolate powder sprinkled on the top, that's about it.
