Cappuccino vs Latte - by JAVA JEN
-Foodsong.com's Coffee Blog sponsored by theflyingbarista.com

Many People ask what's the difference between a cappuccino and a latte. Both tastes are exceptional and a great kick to that day of work or my favorite day of shopping.

The differences between these drinks are subtle, but significant..

Think of a cappuccino as drinking espresso and a little steamed milk through a "cap" of tons of light, fluffy, shaving cream-style foam. The espresso and steamed milk are sitting on the bottom of the cup, while the huge "cap" of light, fluffy, shaving cream-style foam is on top..

A latte is a blend of espresso and velvetized foam. A latte is a little heavier in the hand than a cappuccino because the latte does not have that huge "cap" of light, fluffy, shaving cream-style foam. Finally, a latte is a little milder than a cappuccino due to the greater volume of steamed milk and velvetized foam..

Hope this helps.
