What is a dry cappuccino?

A dry cappuccino is a variation of the traditional cappuccino that contains less steamed milk and more frothy foam. This results in a stronger espresso flavor and a drier texture. The ratio of ingredients in a dry cappuccino is typically 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and 1/3 foam.

Some coffee enthusiasts prefer a dry cappuccino because it allows the rich and intense flavor of the espresso to shine through without being diluted by too much milk. The frothy foam on top also adds a light and airy texture to the drink.

To make a dry cappuccino, baristas will steam the milk less than they would for a traditional cappuccino, creating a thicker layer of foam. The foam is then spooned on top of the espresso and steamed milk mixture to create the classic layered look of a cappuccino.

Overall, a dry cappuccino is a popular choice for those who enjoy a stronger coffee flavor and a velvety, textured foam on top of their espresso drink.
