What is the difference between a latte, flat white, and cappuccino?

A latte is 1–2 shots of espresso with 150–250ml of steamed milk and a thin layer of microfoam — mild and milky. A flat white uses the same ratio as a latte but in a smaller cup (150–160ml) with a higher espresso-to-milk ratio and very thin microfoam for more coffee intensity. A cappuccino is equal parts espresso, steamed milk, and foam (typically 60ml each) — drier and stronger tasting than a latte. All three start with the same espresso shot.
