Many people confuse cappuccino with
a caffe latte, another form of Italian coffee. The main
difference between the two is that a caffe latte has twice the
amount of milk and no milk foam.
The milk foam that floats on top of a
cappuccino is what distinguishes it from other coffee drinks.
Served traditionally in a porcelain cup, the foam acts as an
insulator and keeps the drink hotter longer. The porcelain also
acts as another heat retainer. Paper and glass cups allow the
heat to seep out faster.
Cappuccino starts out with a shot of
espresso. The barista then steams the milk, which is the second
most important ingredient. If the texture and temperature of
the milk is wrong, the drink won't be as good as it could
be. When the milk is properly steamed, it will be velvety
and sweet. The barista will then float one centimeter of the
foamed milk on top of the espresso. Traditionally, cappuccinos in Italy are served with
breakfast, but in other countries it is customary to drink them
after dinner.
