What is the difference between a caffe latte and a cappuccino anyway?

Can you answer Anarchlown’s question about Coffee?:

And as a sub-question, in practice do most barristas just make essentially the same drink and put choco-powder on top of one to call it cappucino?

    Coffee Feedback: It’s the amount of milk… Latte’s have more.

    Coffee Feedback: What SK said - a latte is milder and ‘milkier’ tasting

    Coffee Feedback: Cappuccino is espresso, foam, and a touch of steamed milk. A latte is espresso, steamed milk and just a touch of foam.

    Coffee Feedback: In Italy, caffe latte is a breakfast only drink consisting of coffee poured into a cup filled with warm milk. And, the milk is not foamed. It can also be served in a caffelatte/caffellate bowl.

    In Italy, a cappuccino consists of an espresso, with hot foamed milk poured on it. The result is about 3/4 inch thick milk foam on top. It is usually served in cappuccino cups, which are not as large as caffelatte cups. Generally, Italians do not drink cappuccino with or just after their meals, but only with breakfast.
