Cappuccino VS Latte


Cappuccino or Latte?

The cappuccino and lattes are both drinks full of flavor and caffeine but there is something slightly between them both, the texture and their ratios! But no worries we’ll break this down for you a step at a time. 

What is a cappuccino? 

The perfect cappuccino is a 1:1:1 ratio. That’s one part espresso, one part steamed milk, and one part milk foam, all beautifully layered in an 8 oz cup. This gives the cappuccino its distinctive strong flavor and creamy texture! If you want a strong coffee and the amazing flavors of espresso then this caffeinated drink is the way to go

What is a latte? 

Such a popular coffee! This caffeinated drink is all about its smoothness. This drink is usually served in a 12 oz cup, we use more steamed milk and just a touch of foam on top. This makes the latte creamier and a bit more mellow compared to the strong cappuccino. lattes are fun to play with they have different styles and flavors

If you in the coffee shop and are debating which caffeinated drink to order just know that the primary difference is the milk-to-espresso ratio and the amount of foam. Just ask yourself what you are in the mood for something strong or mellow? A cappuccino is stronger, with that perfect velvety foam, while a latte is creamier, thanks to the extra steamed milk! 




So… Which coffee is better?

The coffee world is amazing! What's magical about it is that there are unlimited combinations, techniques, and flavors for every caffeinated human. Both cappuccino and latte are amazing caffeinated drinks. What matters is what you love the best. The best coffee is the one that brings you happiness. Try both drinks, experiment, taste, and you’ll find your favorite one.


Conclusion

If you are in the big debate of a strong coffee taste, the amazing foam of a cappuccino or the smooth creaminess of a latte, you can be sure both are amazing! Just remember that the main difference is in the amount of milk and foam in your drink, it all depends on your mood of the day. Don’t be scared of trying something, coffee is about exploring different flavors and techniques until you find your favorite. Remember, the best coffee is the one that brightens your day.

Less than 1% of coffee shops in the world own a farm. We own Hacienda Iluminada in Maricao, Puerto Rico — and Supremo is the coffee it was built for.

Award-winning: Supremo carries the same specialty quality that earned 787 Coffee #3 Best Coffee Shop in New York City and #32 in North America — The World's 100 Best Coffee Shops, 2026.

Supremo is our flagship single-origin specialty coffee: a smooth medium roast of specialty-grade Arabica, grown at 3,000 feet in the mountains of Maricao and honey-processed for natural sweetness and depth. Tasting notes: dark chocolate, buttery caramel, citrus, and honey.

Honey-processed means the sweet mucilage is left on the bean as it sun-dries at the farm, so the sugars absorb right into the coffee — you taste it in every cup. Single-origin means every bean comes from one farm, with full traceability. No blending. No mystery origin.

Roasted to order in small batches — under 15 minutes, never sitting in a warehouse. And every bag plants one coffee tree at Micro Lot 2026, Hacienda Iluminada.

Brew it your way — espresso, pour-over, or drip. Available whole bean or ground.
