Cappuccino vs Mocha

what's the difference?

What is the difference between a Cappuccino and Mocha? Here is everything to know about these two coffee drinks!

Love frothy drinks?  Then a cappuccino is your drink! A cappuccino is made with espresso and equal parts steamed or frothed milk. It’s a smaller volume drink compared to a latte with much more froth!

A mocha is similar to a latte (espresso + hot milk), but with chocolate, added via cocoa powder or chocolate syrup.  Think of a mocha as a grown-up hot chocolate! 

What are the differences?

Difference #1:

A cappuccino has less milk than a mocha, and a more foamy froth. Typically the best milk to use in a cappuccino is whole milk, and with mochas you can use whichever dairy you prefer!
