I love drinking coffee. But somehow, I find out that there are many kind of drinks made of coffee. Is cappuccino and latte the same? If so, why the name is different? Can anybody tell me the differences among the drinks stated in the subject? including the ingredient and composition.....thanks a lot....

I don't really know the specifics.. each thing is made with a different ratio of milk to coffee.. some of it is sweeter. I know cappuccino and frappuccino are sweet, and I really like them. Actually frappuccino is just cold cappuccino. I've had latte and machiato before, but they aren't as sweet as I like. I think they are espresso mixed with milk, which is a lot stronger!

Hmmm, that is it. I don't really know the ratio. Isn't cappuccino suppose to be bitter? Ah....I know the taste is not really strong in frappuccino...(btw, is this the same with frappe???)

Espresso is bitter, it's coffee with less water. Cappuccino is very sweet and it's my favorite coffee product. I drink cappuccino instead of coffee. Frappuccino is a Starbuck's brand of cold cappuccino and is really good.
