Milk quantity and consistency in cortado, cappuccino and latte I am often asked whether these three drinks have the same milk quantity and/or consistency and where the difference really lies between these preparations.

I would assume that quantity is increased respectively (cortado &lt; cappuccino &lt; latte) but some claim that there is more milk in the cortado than the cappuccino.

As for the consistency, wouldn't the cappuccino have a more foamy milk than the other two?
There's a chart for that!

Here's a link to it, but I've also included an image below.

There could be some argument over cappuccino vs. latte as to which is "creamier" as the cappuccino certainly has more mil foam, but the latte has much more milk by volume and by ratio. On the whole though I'd say the latte is a less strong drink with a creamier texture even if the cappuccino is thicker.
