With a latte, it’s just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.
If I ask for a latte, and you give me a coffee with milk, I’m gonna be upset. There’s a big difference between steamed milk and just milk.
I ordered an almond joy latte and went back in asking for another drink cause it was horrible.
Turns out it was a coffee not a drink. I hadn’t had coffee in so long I couldn’t identify the lack of steamed milk. 🫤
I did get it remade as a latte and it was amazing.

You do know that when you steam milk it changes the consistency, right? It’s like the difference between a coke and a completely flat coke.
I thought they were making a joke, in that latte means milk and that it’s “cafe latte” in Italy or something.
Yeah, I think they were, but also if I ask for a latte in an English speaking coffee shop and get a glass of milk, I’d be upset.
Isn’t a latte non-steamed though? I thought a cappuccino had the frothed milk in it.

Thank you for the correction.
A latte is espresso with steamed milk.
