What's the difference between a latte, coffee, espresso & cappuccino?!
COFFEE - The "beans" or "berries" (pyrenes) obtained from the drupes of a small evergreen tree of the genus Coffea, growing in Abyssinia, Arabia, Persia, and other warm regions of Asia and Africa, and also in tropical America.
ESPRESSO - A strong coffee brewed by forcing steam under pressure through darkly roasted, powdered coffee beans.
CAPPUCCINO - Coffee with frothy hot milk and usually dusted with chocolate powder on top.
Answers: LATTE -strong espresso coffee with a topping of frothed steamed milk

not sure on all of them.. a coffee buff would know. but a late is a coffee w/ milk added. and a cappicuino is a straight shot w foam on top. that much i do know.. =)
A BIG difference in my opinion. A latte is just coffee mixed with steamed milk only. Coffee is just....well coffee. Espresso is a super concentrated shot of coffee and a cappuccino is espresso mixed with steamed and foamed milk.If you realllllyyy wanna know more look on wikipedia or something. Yeaa coffee ^_^
The amount and type milk or dairy product used in the drink. All are a coffee based drink. Espresso being a straight coffee drink.
Latte: 2 shots of espresso with steamed milk and less than half an inch of foam on top
Cappuccino: 2 shots of espresso with a half a cup of foam and the rest steamed milk.
Coffee: No milk, just basic brewed coffee. Normally 1 cup coffee beans to 1 pot of coffee.
Espresso: Concentrated coffee. The roast is what makes it espresso. Pulls in 1 oz shots.
Hope this helps.
This may not be all that helpful...but...there was an episode of Alton Brown on the Foodnetwork Channel about coffee beans (can't find the exact episode)...
It talked about how they differed in amount per part of beans, coffee, cream, half&half, and other ingredient combinations.
Maybe it was:

We could all use some education about true espresso. Join Alton Brown as he explains how the beans, the grind, the machine and the hand make up the essential components.
