Which components make up a cappuccino (hot)?

• A. Signature espresso, 2% steamed milk, milk foam
• B. Signature espresso, 2% steamed milk, whipped cream
• C. Double espresso, 2% steamed milk, milk foam
• D. Decaf espresso, 2% steamed milk, milk foam

Answer: (A)

A hot cappuccino is built from espresso, steamed milk, and a topping of milk foam. The espresso provides the bold coffee flavor, the steamed milk adds creaminess, and the foam on top creates the light, airy texture that distinguishes a cappuccino from other drinks like a latte. Using signature espresso with 2% steamed milk and milk foam matches the classic composition Starbucks follows. Whipped cream isn’t part of a traditional cappuccino, and decaf or a double shot changes the standard balance rather than the fundamental components.
