Cappuccino has a lot of milk foam and the taste is not too bitter. Ordinary coffee does not have that much milk foam and tastes a bit bitter.
The cappuccino smells very fragrant at first. When you take the first sip, you can feel the sweetness and softness of the large amount of milk foam. In the second sip, you can really taste the original bitterness of the coffee beans. And rich, finally when the taste stays in the mouth, it will feel more mellow and meaningful.

It can also make various patterns, which is why cappuccino got its name. Compared with espresso, cappuccino is more easily accepted by the public and is very suitable for beginners to choose espresso.

The milk foam of the cappuccino should be higher than the rim of the cup as shown in the picture, and appear full and smooth. There will be no coffee overflowing if you shake the cup left and right. ; Latte is just a thin layer of milk foam, which is usually flush with the mouth of the cup.

Skill, but putting the cart before the horse, lost the soul of cappuccino.
