What is the Difference Between Latte and Cappuccino?

Although the materials used are different, the preparation and the way of serving have distinctive features.

When pouring over espresso, the milk creates more distinct layers and does not merge with the espresso like a latte. This makes cappuccino a significantly thicker drink.

Instead of comparing the two coffees, we must accept the difference and treat them as separate drinks.
