I prefer a cortado. Less milk than a cappuccino, more than a macchiato. But cortado being of Spanish origin, I’ve never seen it in Italy. However, it is very popular in Scandinavia, where I live.
Latte normally has about twice as much milk as a cappuccino and when you steam the milk for a cappuccino you put more air into it to make it have more froth than with a latte.
