  “Latte” is milk, “Caffè latte” is coffee with milk

    Understood, but in the context of a coffee shop in an anglophone place it has a different agreed upon meaning.

      True, however the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct

    In Italy, sure, but the sign looks to be from an American coffee shop, so “latte” doesn’t mean just milk in this context.

      True, however - as I replied to a similar remark - the (presumably humorous) comment that keeps getting downvoted is technically correct

        If by technically correct, you mean only correct if you mix languages, then sure. But afaik, this thread is in English.

  With a latte, it’s just normal steamed milk. A cappuccino has foamy steamed milk. Specifically, it has an equal volume of steamed milk and foam taking up space in the cup. You get more actual milk diluting the coffee in a latte, resulting in a milder drink.

  A latte is espresso with steamed milk.
