cappuccino vs. latte

cappuccino vs. latte: ’s the difference?

Cappuccinos and lattes are both coffee drinks (most commonly hot but also sometimes cold) typically made with espresso (strong coffee) and steamed milk and topped with foamed milk. The difference is the ratio of ingredients: usually, a latte has more steamed milk, while a cappuccino has more foamed milk.
