From Capuchin to Cappuccino
Cappuccino is a classic coffee variation that consists of a espresso, poured with equal parts milk and milk foam. This creates the characteristic foam that characterizes this popular coffee. Originally, the cappuccino was based on the Austrian Kapuziner, a coffee specialty made from mocha and whipped cream. Over time, the drink has evolved and found its place as an integral part of Italian coffee culture.
The difference: cappuccino vs latte macchiato
The key difference between a latte macchiato and a cappuccino lies in their composition and texture. In a latte macchiato, hot milk foam is poured over an espresso, creating layers: first the espresso, followed by hot milk, and finally milk foam on top. This results in a smooth, mellow taste experience where the milk softens and creams the coffee. In contrast, a cappuccino consists of an espresso prepared with a similar ratio of milk and milk foam as a latte macchiato, but with a thicker foam and a more intense coffee flavor. The cappuccino's foam is thicker and creamier, resulting in a more powerful and expressive experience.
The perfect cappuccino preparation
For the perfect cappuccino, we recommend a special blend of Arabica and Robusta beans. This ensures a good balance between taste and crema, ideal for a creamy and aromatic cappuccino. You can prepare it perfectly with our blog post. How to make the perfect cappuccino.
