The Origin of Cappuccino
The word “cappuccino” itself has a fascinating history. It’s believed to have originated from the Capuchin friars, whose brown robes resemble the color of espresso mixed with steamed milk. The cappuccino, as we know it today, is an Italian creation that took its modern form in the early 20th century.
One word but different emotions for everyone, for someone it could be a morning starter, someone’s energy booster before a workout, someone’s push throughout the day, and someone’s night partner. It also comes in different forms let it be a dark expresso to a mild latte to our own Indian filter coffee, but it binds us all on a common beverage “coffee”!
Essence of the Cappuccino
A classic cappuccino is made by combining equal parts of espresso, steamed milk, and milk froth. Its essence lies in the harmonious blend of these elements. Here’s what makes the cappuccino special:
Espresso: The strong, concentrated coffee at the base of the cappuccino provides a robust and aromatic foundation.
Steamed Milk: The creamy, silky texture of steamed milk balances the intensity of the espresso, creating a smooth and luscious experience.
Frothed Milk: The frothed milk adds a layer of microfoam, resulting in a creamy top with a slightly sweet taste and a delicate design.
It's not just a cappuccino, it's the high, it's the fragrance, it's the taste, it's the warmth and the whole lot of art
