Investopedia explains Consumption Capital Asset Pricing Model - CCAPM
In its simplest form, the CCAPM differs from the CAPM by only the beta coefficient used in the calculation. The beta for consumption attempts to measure the covariance between an investor's ability to consume goods and services from investments, and the return from a market index.

In practice, the CCAPM is used less frequently than the CAPM, and should probably only be used on a theoretical basis.
