I think the question was about milk quantity as opposed to espresso and caffeine.

The "Strong"-ness of these drinks is arguable since they all have the same number of espresso shots so one could state that they are equally "strong" but the chart is very informative for the milk quantity and consistency!

# Milk quantity and consistency in cortado, cappuccino and latte

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-01-27)

I am often asked whether these three drinks have the same milk quantity and/or consistency and where the difference really lies between these preparations.

I would assume that quantity is increased respectively (cortado < cappuccino < latte) but some claim that there is more milk in the cortado than the cappuccino.

As for the consistency, wouldn't the cappuccino have a more foamy milk than the other two?
