1, the coffee pull different

The most intuitive way to distinguish between the two is to look at the coffee pull. Latte and cappuccino, although in the production of milk processing methods are frothing, but latte coffee requires a thin milk froth than cappuccino froth. It is because of the thin layer of milk foam gives the coffee good fluidity, latte coffee can make graphics exquisite lines of delicate pattern of pulling.

Cappuccino, due to the thick milk froth can not make fine lines of the pattern of pulling, generally more carving or do not pull the flower processing. This is the reason why coffee pulling is also known as "latte art".

2, the taste difference

While the raw materials are the same, but the proportion is different, resulting in the difference in taste. Generally speaking, 70% of latte coffee for milk, 20% for milk froth and coffee only 10%, the proportion of milk is far more than coffee is a major feature of latte coffee. So when you taste it, the latte is creamy and smooth, and the coffee is less bitter.

The proportion of milk, milk foam and coffee in cappuccino is one-third, and the same proportion of milk and coffee is the biggest feature of cappuccino. Because the proportion of milk and milk froth is small can not mask the coffee flavor, in the taste of cappuccino has a strong coffee flavor, the taste is more dense, like cotton candy in general. Therefore, if you are not used to heavy coffee, you should choose a latte, if you like a slightly heavier flavor of coffee, cappuccino will be your favorite.

3, the two have different origins

Latte (Latte) in Italy is the meaning of milk, the earliest latte coffee is directly in the boiled coffee with hot milk made. It was not until the Italian Archibusia invented the steam pressure coffee machine that the espresso latte has been able to flourish to this day. Cappuccino came along with the steam pressure coffee machine, so its origin is later than the latte. The name cappuccino comes from the brown robes and pointy hats worn by church friars.

Expanded:

Taste difference: Cappuccino and latte both have milk froth, and both require a very dense froth. The card has more froth and a smaller proportion of milk, and the flavor of the coffee is more pronounced. Drinking when it is recommended that the milk froth re-stirred into the cup and milk coffee re-mixed (because after the coffee is ready to serve on the table after the basic milk froth and milk has been separated, single drink milk froth taste is not good.)

Milk, coffee mixed with dense milk froth filled your mouth the right feeling, no sugar can also feel the sweetness. Latte coffee has less froth, more milk, the overall feeling is heavy milk flavor, so the competition is not more than this, cappuccino is more able to taste the coffee. It's kind of like milk with a coffee flavor, and since it doesn't have a very thick froth, it doesn't feel very dense either.
