Cappuccino

What is it?

Espresso meets steamed milk and a thick cap of foam here, with a light dusting of chocolate powder on top. In McCafe's coffee lineup, it sits alongside lattes and flat whites, but keeps the classic ratio of coffee, milk and foam. Ordered takeaway, it usually comes in a paper cup, while dine-in can mean a ceramic cup. Espresso base is pulled fresh, then topped with milk steamed to build a fine, airy foam rather than a dense one. It's a familiar format, built for drinking hot, with the foam sitting above the liquid coffee instead of blending through it. Chocolate powder on top is a small touch, but it's one of those things that signals the style immediately.
