Question

What is the difference between Expresso, Latte, and Cappacino coffees?

Answer 1

Espresso (not expresso) is served in a small glass with either a double or single shot of coffee. Is strong and concentrated.

Latte, is espresso with lots of hot milk in a larger clear glass (normally)

Cappuccino is espresso with hot milk and milk foam served in a coffee ceramic cup.

Hope this helps ;-)

Answer 2

expresso is stronger then cappacino and has for caffine!

Answer 3

There is no difference in the coffee---as in the coffee beans.  Get what you like.

The difference is the way they are mixed in a cup with steamed milk/foam---or in the case of espresso---not mixed--served straight up.

Answer 4

Espresso is plain, double-roasted, coffee that's very strong...sometimes served with a tiny lemon peel.  Lattes are espresso shots with frothed milk ... cappucinos are espresso shots with steamed milk

Answer 5

The difference is the amount of milk in each. Espresso has no milk, Cappuccino about 50% and latte about 95% milk.

Answer 6

espresso is just plain shots of espresso. Its the base for Lattes and cappuccinos.

Latte's are usually two shots of espresso and foamed milk that can be served iced or hot.

Cappuccino is a drink made of two shots of espresso and alot of foam, and is usually served hot, because of the amount of foam./

Answer 7

Latte is really milky,cappucino is strong and i think expresso is just normal but dont quote me on that
