What the hell is a dry cappuccino?
Coffee. It can be tall, short, extra hot, iced – there are almost endless variations for the perfect coffee order. But I think one thing we can all agree on is that coffee is wet.
Its a liquid. So its wet. Why then is it possible to order a dry cappuccino? And what on earth does that even mean?
We all love a pretentious coffee order. Dont pretend it doesnt make you feel alive to order an extra-hot-oat-milk-vanilla-babylatte-with-extra-foam.
But ordering a dry cappuccino will take you to the next level and will be sure to impress even the snarkiest barista in your local coffee shop.
So its pretty simple. A dry cappuccino has less steamed milk and a thicker layer of foamed milk than a regular cappuccino. Thats it. It has the same amount of actual coffee, and the same amount of milk – just the proportions of steamed milk and foam are different.

On the other side of the scale is the wet cappuccino. Not to be confused with the regular cappuccino.

A wet cappuccino has more steamed milk than a regular or a dry cappuccino, and just a thin layer of foamed milk on the top.
What we can glean from this information is that the dryness to wetness scale seems wholly dependent on the proportion of steamed milk. The more steamed milk – the wetter your cappuccino.
Simple. But do these cappuccino variations actually taste any different? Theres only one way to find out. Order them all and spend the rest of the day trying desperately to control your caffeine tremors.
And remember, cappuccinos arent the first drink to claim to operate on a sliding scale of wetness. If white wine can be dry then so can our coffee, dammit.
