Generally, a cappuccino is a smaller drink—about eight ounces. A latte and a cappuccino both use steamed milk, but nowhere near the same amount. A cappuccino will use frothed milk as well. As a result, this cup of coffee will taste richer and more bitter. Lattes taste milkier because they use a lot more milk, and it is more common to see lattes flavored with sweeteners. <\/p>" } } , { "@type": "Question", "name": "Can I use dairy-free milks to make a cappuccino?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "
The short answer is yes! Some milks are better at mixing air into than others. The texture can vary widely among different non-dairy milks and among the same milks sold from different brands.<\/p>
“The difference between espresso and coffee comes down to the way they are prepared, rather than the actual beans," says Julia Levy<\/a>. "In general, espresso beans are roasted for a long time (dark roast), have a fine grind and require high pressure to create an ounce or two of concentrated coffee. Regular coffee beans are roasted for a shorter time than espresso beans, have a coarse grind and are great for brewing techniques that don’t involve high-pressure…Coffee beans have a medium or balanced concentration of bitterness and espresso beans typically have a high concentration. This makes espresso taste thicker, stronger and richer.”<\/p>"

"text": " There are several solutions: a French press or whisk can work, but if you have a glass measuring cup in your kitchen, that can work nearly as well as a metal pitcher. Also, a handheld milk frother can aerate milk nearly as well as your espresso machine. If you use a French press or whisk, heat the milk first, either on the stovetop or in a microwave, then froth the milk.<\/p>
