Perfected and made popular during both World Wars, a cappucino starts with a bottom layer of one shot of espresso. A second layer of steamed milk is added on top, followed by a thick and airy layer of foam to lend the drink a luxurious velvety texture.
A cappuccino boasts a much stronger espresso flavor than a latte due to having less milk and more foam than a latte. A barista is up to snuff when they can craft the perfect cappuccino — when made correctly our cappuccino will have a 1-to-1 ratio of liquid to foam, which experts can determine based on the drink’s weight.
