Despite what people think, a cappuccino can NOT be iced. In America, there are two types of cappuccinos, wet and dry. Wet caps are about 1 part espresso, 1 part steamed milk, 1 part foam. A dry is 1 part espresso, 2 parts foam.
In Italy, the difference between a Cappuccino and a Cafe Latte is not the amount of foam on top, but the consistency of the milk. Cafe Lattes are more dense, closer to the consistency of milk alone. Cappuccinos has air steamed throughout the entire drink, and therefore is more of a "fluffy" drink.

Get the cappuccino mug.An espresso drink made with foamy steamed milk. It can be made "wet"-meaning, with some of the liquidy part of the steamed milk in the drink- or "dry" with only the foam on top of the espresso. It can not be served iced.
