Yes. It contains caffeine from the espresso, and the amount varies with the coffee beans and how many espresso shots are used. Milk does not remove the caffeine.
A medium cappuccino with 3.5% milk has a more noticeable layer of foamed milk, while a latte contains more steamed milk and usually a thinner foam layer. Café recipes and serving sizes vary.
Make espresso, heat and foam the 3.5% milk, then pour the milk into the espresso with the foam on top. A milk frother or steam wand helps create the characteristic texture; sugar is optional.
Not usually, unless sugar, syrup, or a sweetened flavouring is added. The milk does contain naturally occurring lactose, so an unsweetened cappuccino is not completely free of sugars.
It can, because its espresso contains caffeine, which may delay sleep in sensitive people. If you notice that coffee affects your sleep, have this cappuccino earlier in the day rather than in the evening.
Regular milk contains lactose and may trigger symptoms. Ask for lactose-free milk instead; it addresses lactose intolerance, but it is not suitable for someone with a milk allergy.
It can be a convenient source of caffeine before exercise, and the milk provides some protein and carbohydrate. Caffeine affects people differently, so avoid having it right before training if it upsets your stomach.
No, it does not automatically dehydrate you. Although caffeine can have a mild diuretic effect, the water in the drink contributes to fluid intake; it can still be sensible to drink water as well.
Yes. The milk contains energy and nutrients, so this cappuccino is not a zero-calorie drink and will break a fast that allows only water or other calorie-free drinks.
Many people can include one in their daily routine, but its caffeine may matter if you are sensitive or already drink several caffeinated beverages. Choose an earlier time if it affects your sleep.

A medium cappuccino with 3.5% milk is an espresso-based Italian coffee topped with steamed milk and a layer of foam. The espresso’s roasted bitterness is softened by the milk, while the foam gives each sip a light, creamy texture.
In Italy it is often enjoyed in the morning, commonly alongside a pastry; elsewhere, it works just as well as a café stop or after-meal coffee. The milk contributes protein and naturally occurring milk sugar, while the drink provides no fibre. Pair it with a plain croissant or biscuit, or ask for lower-fat milk if you prefer a lighter, less creamy cup.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
