Difference between cappuccino and frappuccino
Frappuccino
This is the most popular of the coffee drinks and it is available at almost every Starbucks location. There are many different flavor combinations, but the most popular is caramel frappuccino. Other flavors are mocha frappuccino, vanilla bean frappuccino, and chocolate frappuccino. There is also an unlimited option available. The most popular of these is the caramel macchiato.
Cappuccino
A cappuccino is a little bit different than a frappuccino. It is not as creamy and has more foam. It also has a smaller portion of ice. Cappuccinos are available in the same flavors as frappuccinos.
Cappuccino is usually made with espresso, hot milk, and steamed milk foam, while a Frappuccino is made with a sweetened coffee, syrup, and ice.
Cappuccino, a somewhat more elaborate coffee drink, is made with espresso, a bit of foamed milk, and a small amount of hot milk. The coffee and milk are combined in a cup and served.
A Frappuccino is similar, but it uses a coffee-flavored syrup and ice, and it is sweetened.
How to make cappuccino
So the recipe calls for just espresso and steamed milk, but let’s face it, if you’re reading this right now, you’ve probably already been on the espresso train for a while and you’ve probably already concocted your own personal recipe that’s far superior to the original. So go ahead and add a shot of your favorite liqueur or syrup, or both. Or just drink it black.
This is one of the best frothers we’ve ever tested: Zulay Original Milk Frother Handheld.
There’s a lot of stuff out there about how to froth milk properly, but we think the best way is to use a handheld frother like this one. Put the frother on top of your mug, add a small amount of milk to the bottom of the cup, and lightly tap the back of the frother to get the milk moving. Then, holding the frother over the mug, start a slow back and forth motion, keeping your wrist straight and your movement steady. If you’re using a handheld frother, aim to keep the froth going for about 10-30 second, depending on how much milk you’re frothing. If you’re using a steam wand, aim for about 30 seconds.
Once you’ve got your froth, just pour the milk-espresso mixture into your mug, add the sugar, and drink up.
