How is cappuccino prepared?

Today I was asked a question I haven't heard for a long long time. And hoped I would never hear it again, but... I did. The question was: How would you like your cappuccino - with espresso or not? I was shocked and remembered the times when the market (including all cafes and bars) was flooded with those instant cappuccino drinks with different flavour - nuts, vanilla, etc.

They lacked any taste, but had great ad tools promoting them all around the city and even on the same table where they've been served to the innocent clients.

And then, during that dark period, I had to ask every time if the cappuccino is prepared with espresso and milk or poured out of a plastic package... it has become a habit for few years, and now that I've forgotten about it (as obviously enough clients have shown some taste for life and quality by boycotting those artificial things), now I was asked the same question in a neighbouhood patisserie which otherwiseI like for my Sunday brunch coffee with or without friends. Hope it will not happen soon again, or I will be seriously worried about the future of coffee lovers in Sofia.
For soothing their souls' pain, I publish here pictures of cappuccino and coffee with milk prepared in a nice way - according to my standards, of course ;-)
