Flavor and taste of cappuccino

A cappuccino is a coffee drink made from a mixture of espresso and steamed milk. A traditional Italian cappuccino is generally a single (or sometimes a double) espresso shot topped with equal parts steamed and frothed milk (in a ratio of 1:1:1). A cappuccino doesn’t have any sweeteners added to it. However, milk makes up two-thirds of the drink, and milk has a significant amount of natural sugar.

In general, a cappuccino is creamy, bitter and maybe a little sweet, with a hefty dose of coffee flavor. A well-made cappuccino has incredible flavor and texture. It has a bold coffee taste. Cappuccino served with a third layer made up of foam, this coffee gives a richness and thickness that add to the overall experience.

Cappuccinos are an unsweetened drink. Cappuccinos often taste sweet because of some sweetness from the naturally occurring lactose sugar in milk. It may also be flavored with sugar, with flavored simple syrups, and other additives.

Cappuccinos are generally stronger and have a fuller flavor and texture than both the mocha and the latte. Because it contains less steamed milk, it can be expected a stronger espresso taste coming through from the espresso shot.

Cappuccinos can also be made more ‘dry’ by stretching the milk further to give it a lighter, fluffier texture with even more foam.
