The difference between Cappuccino, Latte and Mocha
Dec 16, 2022
Sometimes it can be difficult to distinguish the differences between different espresso drinks such as cappuccino, latte and mocha. These drinks differ from each other in several ways. First and foremost, all three are based on espresso, but that's what sets them apart.
A cappuccino is an espresso-based drink consisting of espresso, hot milk and skimmed milk. It has a light, sweet flavor and an airy, creamy texture. Latte is also an espresso-based drink, but it's a little different from cappuccino. It consists of espresso, hot milk and a little skimmed milk, and is creamy and slightly sweeter than cappuccino.
Mocha is another espresso-based drink that consists of espresso, hot milk, chocolate and sometimes a little skimmed milk. It has a chocolate flavor and a slightly sweet taste. It is a little creamier than cappuccino or latte.
So when you order an espresso drink, make sure you know what you're getting. If in doubt, ask your barista to get more information about the drink's taste and texture.
