McDonald's Cappuccino (Small) Complete Information

A McDonald's Cappuccino (Small) costs $4.19 and carries 110 calories with 6g of protein and 45mg of caffeine, which makes it the lightest milk espresso drink on the hot McCafe menu.

The difference from a latte is foam. A cappuccino uses roughly equal parts espresso, steamed milk and foam, where a latte is mostly milk with a thin cap, so a cappuccino carries less actual liquid milk and lands thirty calories under the $4.29 Latte (Small) at 140. Same espresso, same 45mg of caffeine, less milk. The flavored versions add roughly a hundred calories each: $4.39 Caramel Cappuccino at 210 and $4.49 Vanilla Cappuccino at 210. It takes a Baked Hot Apple Pie better than anything sweeter would.

Health Insight

At 110 calories, this one is on the lighter side of the menu.

Lighter alternative: Latte Iced (small) on the same menu comes in at 80 calories. See Latte Iced (small)

How to Make a Cappuccino (Small) at Home?

A cappuccino is a latte with the ratio changed and the foam taken seriously: equal thirds espresso, milk and foam. That third of foam is the entire skill.

Ingredients0 of 2

Cappuccino

2 shots espresso
1 cup whole milk

Method0 of 4 steps

1Pull the espresso into the cupOne shot per cup, and work quickly from here. Espresso loses its crema within thirty seconds.
2Introduce more air than for a latteKeep the steam wand at the surface for longer, five or six seconds rather than two, so the milk takes on real volume before you submerge the wand.
3Stop at 150FSame temperature limit as a latte. Scalded milk ruins a cappuccino faster because there is less of it to hide behind.
4Pour the milk, spoon the foamPour the liquid milk through first, then spoon the foam on top to finish. Aim for roughly a third of the cup in foam.

Tips

More air at the start is the whole difference from a latte.
Whole milk holds foam far better than skimmed, despite what people assume.
A third foam, a third milk, a third espresso. Anything else is a latte in a small cup.

Variations

Add caramel syrup for the $4.39 Caramel Cappuccino at 210 calories.
Add vanilla for the $4.49 Vanilla Cappuccino at 210 calories.
Use more milk and less foam for a $4.29 Latte at 140 calories.

Serve immediately, while the foam still holds. A restaurant small is $4.19 at 110 calories.
