    The only difference is in quantities you tool. I can point you to a diagram if you like.

        I thought the latte milk came from the latte cow, the cappucino milk came from the cappucino cow, while the other milk came from ordinary cows...
        I wouldn't be surprised if the spaced cadet actually believes that...

          I think Christ was more of a red wine man.

            Cappacino frothed milk should be drier and stiffer than that used for a Latte
            This, along with the quantity of milk used is what gives the latte a different taste and feel to the cappuccino.

            But of course, you knew that that already

              Coffee tasting session over, The winner (for my jaded taste buds) is Gold Blend

              Anybody want to buy several jars of assorted coffee? Open but only a small amount missing from each

              I trust that all visitors to my house like coffee (they're not getting the gold blend of course)

              Thanks for all the suggestions people

                Drier and stiffer?!... lay off the wacky backy grandad, stop talking out of your rear end and embarrassing yourself further you nutbar.

                And it's spelt 'cappucino', you tool.

                  I was wondering, I'm not a coffee expert, but I make my own frothy milk on my coffee machine at home, so was perplexed how I would get it 'drier' or 'stiffer' - it's just milk, frothed up. I thought the difference between a latte and a cappuchino was the ratio of foam/warm milk/coffee (and the sprinkling of cocoa)
                  Cooking doesn't get tougher than this.

                    The economical way to make your milk frothy, is to fill your mouth, gargle for 1 Minute, and spit it into the coffee cup.

                      It's precisely that. Space Cadet should play careful attention when he next goes to Starbucks it's the exact same container of steamed milk used for Lattes and Cappucinos.
