Cappuccino vs cortado

Same espresso, same amount of milk. The cappuccino just has a thicker layer of foam on top, and that's the whole difference.

A cappuccino gets a thick, airy layer of foam on top, which makes it feel light. A cortado has almost none, so it's flatter, warmer and denser. Same coffee-to-milk ratio, completely different feel.
