The difference between a flat white, cappuccino, and latte is mainly in the ratio of ingredients. A flat white consists of espresso shots topped with steamed milk and velvety microfoam. A cappuccino has slightly more foam than a flat white but has an equal amount of espresso to steamed milk.

Finally, a latte contains significantly more steamed milk than both the other drinks, giving it the most prominent creamy texture. The latte also includes some light foam on top if desired. All three are considered specialty coffee beverages created using espresso and either whole or non-fat milk.
