Whereas espresso is composed of water and coffee, cappuccino on the other hand is a blend of approximately one third frothed or steamed milk, and espresso. Cappuccino is prepared using an espresso maker to brew the shot of espresso and then to steam or froth the milk. This coffee beverage, like espresso has its origins in Italy.

Most all espresso machines have the capability to produce cappuccino as well. Both cappuccino and espresso require a minimum pump pressure of 9 bars of pressure. Consistent pressure is essential to producing quality cappuccino and espresso. The machines pressure is produced by its pump. Cappuccino / espresso machines have one or two boilers with a heating element or a thermo-block heating element, which the water passes through while being delivered to the pump. In addition some cappuccino maker/machines have a dedicated milk frothing device or attachment. If the machine has one of its boilers dedicated to the frothing of milk it is also accompanied by a frothing wand, which allows for brewing an espresso or a cappuccino all with the same machine.

I always thought that lattes didn’t have foam and that cappuccinos did have foam. You would think that I would know, being from Seattle and all. But every time I order a chai latte it ends up having a bunch of foam on top. Sorry, but I have no clue why people would enjoy foam, other than to think that it looks cute on their upper lip. It doesn’t look cute — unless you’re one of those models in a milk ad.
Anyways, I am so fed up! I mean what does it take to get a correctly made coffee in this town? I will tell you what it takes — buying your own cappuccino machine. Now I make my lattes at home and make sure they’re foam free.
Cappuccino is an italian drink prepared with espresso, hot milk and steamed-milk foam. A cappuccino differs from a caffe’ latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffe’ latte with the total of espresso and milk/foam making up between approximately 150 ml and 180 ml (5 and 6 fluid ounces). A cappuccino is traditionally served in a porcelain cup, which has far better heat-retention characteristics than glass or paper. The foam on top of the cappuccino acts as an insulator and helps retain the heat of the liquid, allowing it to stay hotter longer.
Cappuccino takes its name from the order of Franciscan Minor friars, named “Cappuccini” from their custom of wearing a hood with their habit (“cappuccio” means hood in Italian-cappuccino is a diminutive form). However, the colour of the drink is quite a different shade to the colour of the Capuchin habit; the reason why this name was used is unknown. The espresso machine used to make cappuccino was invented in Italy, with the first patent being filed by Luigi Bezzera in 1901.
The beverage was used in Italy by the early 1900s, and grew in popularity as the large espresso coffee machines in cafés and restaurants were improved during and after World War II . The cappuccino had developed into its current form by the 1950s.
There is no historical basis for the recent urban legend according to which the drink was supposedly named after the Blessed Marco d’Aviano, a Capuchin friar and charismatic preacher who inspired the resistance to the Turkish siege of Vienna in 1683. The story gained some unwarranted credibility in 2003, when it was good-naturedly reported by the BBC World Service at the time of d’Aviano’s beatification.
