Question: What is the difference between a latte, a cappuccino, and a mocha?

A latte is made with steamed milk, so if you order it from a coffee place they hold the foam that comes from steaming the milk. a cappucino is made with foamed milk so if you order it from a coffee place they don';t hold the foam, and since its foam it seems lighter or less milk but its just the kind of hot milk they use. a mocha is a mocha latte. Its just a latte with mocha syrup added, which generally makes it sweeter since lattes and cappucinos dont normally come with sugar or sweetener unless you ask for them.

Its all about proportions latte is made with more milk than cappuccinos. and mocha's are lattes made with chocolate sauce or chocolate flavoured milk is used instead. :-) you said your not much of a coffee drinker but have you tried frappe's? they are really nice! flavoured iced coffee mmmm :-)

A latte has more milk in it, most of it steamed. A cappuccino has less milk in it, with only a dollop of foam. And a mocha is like a chocolate latte.

Until I read the other answers I didn't even know that there was any difference at all! I thought that a cappuccino and a mocha were different words for the word Latte!

Latte- Milky Mocha- Chocolatey Cappucino- A little chocolatey with lots of froth. All are mainly coffee by the way xD
