A cappuccino is an espresso-based coffee drink that is traditionally prepared with steamed milk including a layer of milk foam. The most important factors in preparing a cappuccino are the texture and temperature of the milk.Variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cinnamon (in the United States) or cocoa powder (in Europe and Australasia).It is typically smaller in volume than a caffè latte, and topped with a thick layer of foam rather than being made with microfoam.
