All coffee lovers come together to celebrate the history of one of their favourite drinks: the cappuccino! Cappuccino is a unique blend of balanced layers of espresso, steamed milk, and a foamy top. Additionally, this drink is made through an even ratio of espresso, steamed milk, and foam. The word “cappuccino” comes from the Capuchin monks in Italy. The name was inspired by the brown-and-white hooded robes they wore.
The first ever cappuccino-style drink was introduced in Vienna, Austria when coffee first arrived in Europe. Early coffee was strong, dark, and bitter, so Viennese drinkers began adding milk and sugar to mellow it out, creating a drink they called Kapuziner.
The Perfection of Cappuccino in Italian Culture
Through the 20th century, the making of coffee evolved with the invention of an espresso machine in Italy. Italians continued to refine the cappuccino. They experimented with adding just the right amount of steamed milk and microfoam to highlight the rich, smooth espresso. With coffee culture growing across Europe, this drink has become the perfect way to enjoy a creamy yet strong cup.
Italians consider the cappuccino a morning drink to date. Plus, they believe that drinking milk-based coffee later in the day may interfere with digestion, so true coffee-holics might tell you to enjoy your cup only before noon!
Cappuccino Today as One of the World’s Favourite Drink
Recently, this drink has gone global and is loved across all cultures. Baristas experiment with all kinds of different milks, and creams to create new versions of this classic cup of coffee. Moreover, in many countries across the world, this drink represents comfort during a rainy day. Whether you’re in a comfortable cafe in Italy, or enjoying a cup of it from home, this drink is your companion through it all.
