![]() In the cappuccino (right), the steamed milk is topped with a layer of froth that is lighter and fluffier than microfoam. In the flat white (left), the milk is mostly microfoam-steamed so that the bubbles are very small and give the milk a silky consistency. When piled high atop a cappuccino, milk froth seems like it could be carried away on a strong wind. Milk froth is more airy and less dense, due to its larger bubbles. Microfoam is milk with very tiny air bubbles that thicken it and give it a smooth, almost meringue-like silkiness. The flat white is espresso with a layer of micro-foamed but not frothy milk. The cappuccino includes steamed milk and milk froth. Both are espresso drinks with steamed milk. The difference between a flat white and a cappuccino lies primarily in the form of the milk that is used: microfoam or milk froth.
