Coffee Vs Cappuccino

Coffee is a beloved beverage by many. It’s a delicious, invigorating drink that comes in different flavors and textures. It is also a versatile drink that can be brewed with a variety of ingredients to create unique drinks and tastes.

While espresso is a very concentrated and intense drink, cappuccino adds steamed milk to the mix for a smoother texture and creamy taste. This can make the two beverages look similar but differ significantly in their flavour profile and ingredients.

There are a few different types of cappuccinos, with each variation offering different flavour profiles and levels of foam. Traditional cappuccinos are made with a 1:1:1 ratio of espresso, steamed milk, and milk foam, and are often garnished with cinnamon or cocoa powder. More modern, third-wave coffee shops may offer wet or dry cappuccinos that use less steamed milk and more milk foam for a lighter or stronger flavor.

Does a Cappuccino Have More Caffeine Than an Espresso?

There is no clear answer to this question as it depends on your personal preferences and caffeine tolerance. If you want a strong, bold coffee kick, we recommend ordering a single shot of espresso. However, if you prefer a softer, more indulgent cup of cappuccino, a double shot might be better for you.

Regardless of which type of cappuccino you are ordering, it is important to start with quality ingredients. Using high-quality, whole milk is the preferred choice of baristas as it offers the best mouthfeel and helps to create microfoam for your drink. It is also a good idea to use a milk frothing pitcher or an electric whisk when making your cappuccino so that you can heat and froth your milk to perfection.
